You know it’s a busy summer around here when fly fishing news is making headlines coast to coast. Let’s kick things off out west, where folks on Oregon’s Deschutes and Crooked Rivers are buzzing about epic hatches this season. The Pale Morning Duns, Green Drakes, and Tan Caddis are coming off in clouds, keeping local guides on their toes and anglers constantly swapping out flies. Word is, the dry-dropper rig has been the hot ticket, especially on those chilly mornings when fish are a little shy about hitting the surface. Nymphs like Tan Caddis Pupa and Brown Perdigons are working magic, but don’t forget the Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail when things get tricky. Take it from The Fly Fishers Place: the Crooked is running high enough that nobody’s wading across, but the bite’s still good if you play it safe and stay flexible with your fly selection.

Swinging over to Michigan, this year’s fishing season opened April 1 and brought in some changes that fly anglers need to know. Steelhead regs got a shakeup—some of the Type 3 and Type 4 streams dropped the old 20-inch minimum size, though you can still only keep one steelhead a day. Muskellunge chasers will want to take note too: Thornapple Lake and Lake Hudson now have a 50-inch size minimum, a move designed to grow a bigger broodstock for the state’s stocking programs. Plus, new single-point hook rules and spearing bans in Grand Haven and Muskegon ports are in effect for November, so double-check before you toss a line. The DNR’s got all the details, and you’ll want to stay on top of the changes if you want to keep your season hassle-free.

Now, if you’re into the competition side of fly fishing, Team USA just landed a bronze medal at the World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic—a big deal for American anglers. Michael Bradley from North Carolina also snagged individual bronze, beating some of the biggest names in the sport. For a long time, folks here shrugged off the whole idea of competitive fly fishing, but there’s no denying that these anglers are dialed in, and the results speak for themselves. The camaraderie at these international events is real, too; it’s not just about the trophies, but about pushing each other to become better on the water. If you haven’t followed the team, you might want to keep an eye out—they’re on a roll, and the community here is starting to rally behind them a little more each year.

Finally, California anglers saw a big change this year regarding white sturgeon. With the species up for threatened status protection, this season is catch-and-release only—and you can’t suspend sturgeon out of the water by the gills or tail, or drag them across the ground or the deck. For the old timers who grew up chasing sturgeon, this is a big adjustment, but it’s a step toward preserving a fish that’s been part of our rivers for generations. Also, mark your calendars: California’s free fishing days this year are July 5 and August 30, when you can fish without a license—just remember all the other regulations and report cards still apply.

So whether you’re tying up soft hackles for a hatch, studying the latest regulations, following the pros on the world stage, or just looking for an excuse to get outside and hit your favorite local water, there’s more than enough happening this summer to keep every fly fisher talking. See you on the river.
