"American Fly Fishers Earn Bronze, Embrace Evolving Regulations and Grassroots Fly Fishing Culture"
Something about a bronze medal just feels right for an American fly fisher—equal parts grit and humility. Last week, the U.S. Fly Fishing Team went over to the Czech Republic and notched another third-place finish at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships. According to MidCurrent, that’s two bronzes in a row, and Cherokee, North Carolina’s own Michael Bradley even brought home individual bronze, sliding past some of the biggest names in competitive angling. Talk about keeping the tradition alive, but with a modern edge—our team’s proving we can match the technical European styles and still enjoy the camaraderie that defines American fly fishing at its best.
If Michigan is your fishing home, the big buzz is the new regulations that rolled out with the 2025 season. According to a release from Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources, steelhead rules on certain streams just got a shake-up—some lost that 20-inch minimum, but daily keep is still just one fish per angler. Meanwhile, up in Thornapple Lake and Lake Hudson, muskie need to hit a whopping 50 inches before you can even think of putting one on the stringer. So, if you’re chasing the big toothies or spring steel on your favorite river, you’ll want to study the new rules or risk a surprise conversation with a DNR warden.
Flash a little farther west, and you might catch the buzz around the Upper Deschutes in Oregon. The latest fishing report from The Fly Fishers Place says it’s full mosquito battle mode up there—think bug spray, maybe a head net, and the promise of fat green drakes landing on the water’s surface. Top flies right now? Green Drakes, PMDs, caddis, even ants and beetles. It’s euro-nymphing time for those who love working a tight line, but don’t sleep on jigging a sculpin pattern along the undercut banks if you’re not shy about risking a snag.
For the folks who like their fly fishing with a side of popcorn, the 19th annual Fly Fishing Film Tour is rolling through towns across the country. This year, the F3T is hitting more than 300 venues in 14 countries, showcasing wild new short films straight from the heart of the fly community. It’s not all trophy fish and bucket list destinations—some of the most memorable reels spotlight grassroots conservation, small-town rivers, and characters who remind you of your old fishing buddy. Check schedules for a stop near you, grab a cold one, and join the tribe for a night of big fish dreams on the big screen.
That’s where we’ll leave it for this week—whether you’re chasing medals overseas, adjusting to local regs, swatting bugs in the Pacific Northwest, or just taking in a film about the fly life, there’s plenty to keep you hooked these days. Thanks for tuning in, and we’ll catch you next week with more stories from the water. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more from me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.
