Fly Fishing Enthusiasts Buzzing Over 2025 Industry Updates: Stimmies Film Awards, Patagonia Gear, and More
If you’ve been tying your own flies all winter or you’re the sort who keeps a rod rigged in your truck, there’s been plenty to buzz about in the world of US fly fishing this month. Grab your thermos and let’s get into what’s shaking up streams and tackle boxes from coast to coast.
First up, the results are in from the 2025 Stimmies Fly Fishing Film Awards, and they were big this year—like, more votes and more killer films than ever before. This annual contest, backed by Scientific Anglers and Fly Fusion Magazine, has become the Oscars for those who know the difference between a Blue Winged Olive and a BWO. Feedback from the crowd was that these films weren’t just good—they set the new high-water mark for creativity in the fly fishing world. If you want to spot new trends, tricks, or just see some jaw-dropping footage of wild water, these films are what everyone’s talking about in the shop and on the riverbanks lately.
On the gear front, Patagonia just announced its plans for 2026 and, you guessed it, they’re expanding their already popular technical wading and sun protection lines. After the Swiftcurrent waders sold like cold beer at a July tailgate last season, they’re beefing up their offerings for both freshwater freaks and salty dogs chasing bones and reds. There’s a real focus now on versatility and eco-friendly tech, so if you love gear as much as you love casting, it might be worth holding off until these new models hit the shelf.
Regulation season is always spicy, and Montana stirred the pot again for 2025. Trout district rules are changing—if you’re headed out west, make sure you read the new regs. Bigger news for bass fans: any smallmouth you catch in Placid Lake has to be killed and reported within 24 hours. It’s a move to protect native species, so expect some heated dockside debates this year. Montana also doubled down on no bait in “artificial only” waters: if it’s not a fly or a lure, leave it in the truck.
Last but not least, the 19th annual Fly Fishing Film Tour—better known as F3T—is back on the road. If you’re anywhere near Pray, Montana this August, or closer to Memphis, Silverthorne, Richmond, or Milwaukee later on, these gatherings are prime time to watch the world’s best fly fishing cinematography and swap stories over a pint. Nothing brings the community together like seeing your own home waters, or dream destinations, up on the big screen.
That’s the scoop for this week, whether you’re tying catskill dries or stripping streamers through deep runs. Thanks for tuning in—come back next week for more updates from the world of fly fishing. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, visit QuietPlease dot AI. Tight lines, everyone.
