USA Fly Fishing Team Shines on the World Stage, Earning Bronze Medal in Czech Republic

Let’s start in Cherokee, North Carolina, where USA Fly Fishing just pulled off another impressive finish on the international stage. According to MidCurrent, the USA Fly Fishing Team snagged a bronze at the World Championship in the Czech Republic—second year in a row. Not only did the team make it on the podium, but Michael Bradley, homegrown down in Cherokee, brought home the individual bronze. For the folks who wrinkle their noses at competitive fly fishing, this level of dedication should turn a few heads. The camaraderie at these events is real—I mean, you’re rubbing shoulders with some of the world’s sharpest anglers, trading flies, stories, and strategies. If you’re looking to see just how good American anglers have gotten, this year’s squad is proof the US can hang with the legendary European teams.

On the regulation front, things are stirring, especially over on the West Coast. The California Fish and Game Commission is in session, considering updates that’ll impact us all—from automatic changes that stay in step with federal rules for recreational salmon seasons to new twists in crab fishing gear validation. They’re scheduled to adopt some of these rules by mid-August. For folks planning a Pacific road trip, it pays to stay up on these tweaks—nothing like getting surprised by new regs after a 7-hour haul to the water.

If you’re itching for a fresh hit of inspiration or just want to geek out on some killer casting, put the Fly Fishing Film Tour on your calendar. This year marks the 19th annual F3T, and the tour is covering every corner—Copperas Cove, Texas; Marcellus, New York; Pray, Montana; even Memphis, Tennessee. You can catch everything from epic trout-packing road trips to saltwater adventures, all on the big screen. It’s not just about the films, either. The stopovers bring out the local fly fishing crowd, so you’re bound to pick up a rig tip or two over a local brew if you swing by.

Back east, change is also in the air. Maryland DNR is shaking up its trout stocking program, tweaking the rules on circle hooks for live-lining in tidal waters—those who use live spot or white perch as bait still need circle hooks, but anglers using smaller finfish or other species now have more leeway. This should make certain techniques a little smoother, though you still have to watch which bait’s on the hook. Keeping tabs on these amendments can make the difference between a banner day and a frustrating run-in with the warden.

That’s the scoop for this week—it’s never a dull summer in the fly fishing community, whether it’s the homegrown heroes taking it to the world, new rules on the rivers, film nights in old theaters, or the fine print you gotta know before heading out. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production—if you want more stories, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.
