Soaring Successes and Thrilling Trends: A Fly Fishing Summer Roundup
It’s been a wild summer for fly fishing across the U.S., so let’s dive right in with the freshest stories rippling through angler circles.
First up, how about a little homegrown pride? The USA Fly Fishing Team just hauled in a bronze medal at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships over in the Czech Republic. That’s two years in a row on the podium, which is no small potatoes considering the global field. And if you want a local hero to cheer for, Michael Bradley out of Cherokee, North Carolina, picked up the individual bronze, out-casting some truly legendary names in the sport. These guys aren’t just fishing for fun—they’re putting in five marathon days on demanding waters, and they’re representing U.S. anglers like total pros, skill for skill. There’s more to competitive angling than meets the eye, and the camaraderie at these events would give any good ol’ fly club a run for its money, says MidCurrent.
If you’re more about finding that perfect spot and less about medals, then pay attention: Montana just rolled out new 2025 fishing regulations, and there are some big plot twists. Trout district standards changed for the western and central regions, and if you’re heading to Placid Lake, any smallmouth bass you catch has to be killed and reported to Fish, Wildlife & Parks pronto—no catch and release for those little invaders. They’re aiming to protect native species, and that means bringing the hammer down on smallmouth, so don’t toss ‘em back. Word on the river is the spearfishing rules have also changed, and you’ll want to read up before grabbing your waders.
Speaking of gear and getting back on the water, Patagonia is already teasing their new lineup for 2026 after knocking it out of the park with their Swiftcurrent waders and Stealth pack collection this year. Expect buzzworthy upgrades to technical wading gear and sun protection, plus some neat new stuff for folks targeting saltwater species. TFO is on board as well, dropping the Dispatch series—a rod and reel kit designed to get new and casual fly fishers onto the water without a headache. That’s smart thinking; the fewer barriers for newcomers, the better.
Don’t forget about the scene off the river: the 19th annual Fly Fishing Film Tour is in full swing, crisscrossing the country with over 300 shows worldwide this year. They’ll be lighting up small towns from Montana’s Sage Lodge on August 19 to Memphis’ Flyway Brewing on August 24. Nothing like a reel of big catches, near misses, and wild fish tales to get you stoked to hit your own local haunts. If you can swing a ticket, it’s worth the trip—tons of new films, a crowd that gets it, and plenty of inspiration for your next outing.
That’s what’s running hot in the fly fishing world right now. Thanks for tuning in and make sure you swing by again next week—there’s always something biting. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines, y’all!
