Let’s start with some fly fishing buzz you’ll want to know about. The big headline: Team USA just brought home *not one, but two* bronze medals at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic, bagging their second podium in as many years. That’s some serious validation for the American competitive fly scene. And if you’ve heard of Michael Bradley out of Cherokee, North Carolina, the guy just smoked some of the world’s best and landed the individual bronze, too. It’s about time U.S. competition anglers get their due respect, skill-wise and maybe, just maybe, a little less side-eye from traditionalists. As covered by MidCurrent, these events are a showcase for both talent and real camaraderie—something uniquely cool about the fly fishing community.

Out West, there’s another shakeup you’ll want to keep on your radar. California just dropped the updated 2025 freshwater fishing regulations, making it easier to find everything you need in one main booklet instead of chasing down supplements. They’re still keeping both booklets through the end of this year, but look for just the main one in 2026, so no more flipping back and forth between pamphlets like you’re studying for finals. Oh, and mark your calendars—July 5th and August 30th are Free Fishing Days this year. No license required, just follow all the usual regs and you’re golden. The state’s even running a survey to see how you want your regulations delivered in the future, so if there’s a smarter way to get that info in your hand, now’s the time to speak up.

Now, if you’re itching for some stoke and inspiration, the Fly Fishing Film Tour—yeah, F3T—is back on the road for its 19th year. This traveling convoy of stoke is rolling through more than 14 countries and over 300 venues this season, bringing the newest, wildest, and fishiest films to theaters, breweries, and wherever folks love big stories and bigger fish. Upcoming stops include Lake City, Colorado on July 24th, Copperas Cove, Texas on July 26th, and a bunch more after that. If you’ve never sat in a crowd and watched fly fishing on the big screen with a pint in hand—all grins, no “hatch charts”—do yourself a favor and check it out.

And for those who can’t walk past a gear shop without sticking their head in, The Fly Shop crew has already started raving about some of the new gear for 2025—like Patagonia’s R1 Air Zip-Neck, which they say is already flying off the shelves. They’re promising some even more secretive drops in their upcoming 2025 Fly Fishing Catalog & Travel Guide. Keep an eye out for anything marked with their “trout icon”—that’ll clue you in to hot new products, whether you’re gear-obsessed or just want something that makes your stream days a little smoother.

That’ll do it for this week’s roundup. Big thanks for tuning in and keeping the stoke alive. Make sure you come back next week—there’s always something happening in fly fishing, and I’ll do my best to keep you in the loop. This has been a Quiet Please production.
