If you’re in the loop on fly fishing, you know there’s always something stirring beneath the surface, especially as we roll into 2025. First up, if you’re eyeing the Eastern Sierra, pack your patience along with your waders. Golden Trout Guiding Co. recently dropped their January report, and—no sugarcoating—they’re calling winter fishing on the Upper Owens “sub-par at best.” Blame a combo of relentless weekend crowds and a pretty sad lack of snow, both of which have slowed the bite to a crawl. But here’s the bait: April kicks off their annual Spring Clinic, and if you or your buddies are looking for a confidence boost before the main season, this is the one to hit. Absolute beginners are welcome, and rumor is there’ll be golden trout day trips, float tubing in those crystal-clear high lakes, and some legit trophy hunting on Crowley Lake this summer. Hot tip: spots on the July Golden Trout Excursion are vanishing fast—seriously, only a handful left, so you know it’s the real deal.
Out west, the California Fish and Game Commission just shook things up with fresh recreational fishing regulations for 2025 and 2026. According to the California Fish and Game Commission, some size limits for groundfish have been tossed, and there’s now a two-fish sub-limit for canary rockfish throughout the state. Plus, vermilion and sunset rockfish are now managed together as a species complex—so you better know your bag limits depending on where you’re landing. And heads up: quillback rockfish are still off the table, no exceptions. If your sweet spot is the ocean, this marks a big change—these new regs are all about opening access but keeping things sustainable.
Meanwhile, if you’ve got young anglers or are just rooting for the next generation, the US Youth Fly Fishing Team is making waves. These up-and-comers absolutely dominated the World Youth Fly Fishing Championship, which wrapped up July in Idaho Falls. And they’re not just chasing personal bests—they’re dropping knowledge for all ages at regional clinics this year. Whether you’re a local parent, a high schooler, or a guide looking for the newest tricks, don’t snooze on these clinics if they pop up in your area, because these kids are fishing at a different level.
On the gear scene, Hatch Magazine just took a look at what’s trending for fall 2025. The buzz is all about techy rods and reels that don’t just look good but help you throw longer, cleaner loops—or muscle in those runaway steelhead with serious stopping power. The Orvis two-handed rods and Nautilus’s latest reels are making headlines, but the catch is some of this gear is shop-exclusive, so, as always, check in with your local fly shop. If you’re a tackle junkie, it’s another excuse to hang around the counter and see what’s rolling in this season.
That’s the latest current out of the fly-fishing world. Thanks for tuning in, and swing back next week for a fresh cast of stories, updates, and fish tales. This has been a Quiet Please production—for more, head over to QuietPlease.ai. Tight lines out there.
