Reel in the Latest Fly Fishing News: Podium Wins, Hatches, and Film Tour Thrills

Alright, pour yourself a cup of coffee, sharpen your snips, and settle in—because if you love your fishing with feathers and fur, the last few weeks have served up some rippers to get you stoked on the water. Here are three slices of the latest fly fishing news, fresh from the reeds—no filler, all local flavor.

First up, grab it while it’s hot: the USA Fly Fishing Team just nabbed bronze at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic, making it their second podium in as many years. That’s right, they out-fished the home team to scoop third place—no easy feat, especially with heavyweights from every corner of the globe crowding the riverbank. And, personal bragging rights—Michael Bradley from Cherokee, North Carolina—took home the individual bronze, proving that American anglers can hang with the best, even when the air smells like pilsner and the bugs have European accents. Anyone who’s tried to untangle a tippet in a spring breeze knows this kind of repeat isn’t luck—it’s serious skill. Props to the whole crew for repping this side of the pond.

Meanwhile, back on the West Coast, The Fly Fisher’s Place in Central Oregon just shot out their latest shop report, and the Salmonfly hatch is in full swing. Green Drakes are popping up, and big river sections are waking up for summer. Crane Prairie, that old gem, just got new docks—perfect for prepping the landing net and launching the skiff. The Metolius is fishing strong, with Pale Morning Duns and Blue Wing Olives keeping hungry trout on the chew. There’s even chatter about a mayfly called Nixe (sporting two tails, not three), making a rare spring appearance—just the kind of hatch minutiae that gets the local gurus scribbling notes and tyers reaching for the vise. If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s a prime time to test those drags and compare stories after a day on the water.

And if you can’t get your boots wet right now, the annual Fly Fishing Film Tour is rolling through, bringing stoke to screens coast-to-coast. This year’s lineup—the 19th—features the best new reels from wild rivers to secret lakes. They’re playing in places like Cle Elum, Fort Collins, and Marcellus—wherever you’re based, there’s a chance to catch the latest in freshwater cinema, swap a few lies, and maybe win a prize or two while the reel spins on the big screen. Some of these flicks may not be Oscar-worthy, but for anyone who’s ever whispered “fish on,” they’re pure gold.

So, lace up those boots, check your box, and hit your local water while the bugs are thick and the fish are looking up. Thanks for tuning in—come back next week for more on what’s rippling in the world of fly fishing. This has been a Quiet Please production—for more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Until then, tight lines and slow strikes.
