The US fly fishing scene has been buzzing lately with news that’ll get any angler itching to hit the water. Let’s kick things off with a massive shoutout to the USA Fly Fishing Team, who just brought home a team bronze at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic. That’s two years running for a podium spot, and Michael Bradley from Cherokee, North Carolina, snatched the individual bronze as well. Sure, some folks might roll their eyes at competitive fly angling, but these guys are putting in serious river time and showing the world just how good American fly fishers have become. The camaraderie at these events is something special, too—win, lose, or draw, it’s a community that roots for each other.

Over in Michigan, fly fishers are combing through the new 2025 regulations as the season opens up. If you’re swinging for steelhead in the inland streams, pay attention: some rivers have dropped the 20-inch minimum, but it’s still one fish per day for steelhead—no more “just one more cast” if you’ve got your limit. There are also fresh hook restrictions in hotspots like Grand Haven and Muskegon, and a beefed-up 50-inch size minimum for muskie on lakes like Thornapple and Hudson. The state’s using these lakes to create a strong line of Great Lakes-strain muskies for future generations, so keep your tape measure handy and brush up on the new rules before heading out.

California anglers are also navigating some major changes. The Department of Fish and Wildlife dropped a big one: white sturgeon are now catch-and-release only starting this year, as they’re up for consideration under the state’s threatened species list. That means if you snag one, you can’t haul it out for a hero shot suspended by the gills or tail—handle them gently and keep them wet. Free Fishing Days are coming up on July 5 and August 30, so if your buddy’s been slacking on getting a license, tell him to save the date and come along for some legal fun.

And as you’re gearing up for all these new regulations and hot hatches, don’t sleep on the latest gear drops. Hatch Magazine just put out their spring 2025 roundup, and it’s a tackle shop junkie’s dream: new rods, reels, lines, boots, you name it. Whether you’re wading through the Appalachian brook trout streams, stalking Midwest carp, or targeting tarpon along the Gulf, there are updated tools to give you a leg up (or just an excuse to add to the quiver).

Put it all together and this is a banner season for fly fishers, whether you chase trout with tiny dries, swing for steelhead, or just want an excuse to spend more time on the water. If you’re on the fence about upgrading your kit, learning the regs, or planning a trip, there’s never been a better time to be a fly angler in the States.
