If you’ve been tying up flies at the kitchen table or squinting at water levels on your phone, there’s plenty buzzing in the fly fishing world right now. First off, big congrats are in order: the USA Fly Fishing Team just snagged another bronze at the 2025 World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic, making it two years running on the podium. Even cooler, Michael Bradley from Cherokee, North Carolina took home individual bronze, edging out some heavyweights in competitive angling. Not everyone’s sold on the whole competitive fishing scene, but you can’t knock the skills or the sheer hours these folks put in to get there. It’s the kind of result that puts U.S. fly fishers on the world map and sparks plenty of fish camp bragging rights.

Swinging over to the home front, Michigan just rolled out new fishing regs for the 2025 season, and there’s stuff every trout bum and steelhead junkie needs to know. A bunch of changes hit steelhead rules on certain inland streams—some spots dropped the 20-inch minimum, but you’re still capped at one per day for those chrome rockets. There are also new single-pointed hook rules and bans on spearing gear in popular ports like Grand Haven, Muskegon, and Whitehall/Montague for November, which will change how folks chase big lake-run fish. And muskie fans: both Thornapple Lake and Lake Hudson are now 50-inch minimum water, upping the challenge in some of the state’s prime muskie nurseries. As always, you’ll want to check the latest DNR book or app before you head out, because the details really do matter.

Now for something that’ll get your gear-geek wheels spinning: 2025 has unleashed a flood of new fly rods, reels, boots, lines, and soft goods. The spring gear roundup from Hatch Magazine has just about everything covered, whether you’re looking to splurge on a flagship rod or finally replace those leaky waders. Carp heads can get set for prime-time Snake River Plain action, while anyone itching for warmwater stuff should have their eyes on new lines and lighter rods, perfect for backwater reds or even early season Appalachian brookies. The manufacturers have gone all-in this year, giving anglers a ridiculous menu of options no matter where or what you fish for.

And just in case you’ve been itching to match the hatch, there’s classic action happening out West. The Salmonfly hatch is currently lighting up some legendary rivers, with the usual rumors swirling about which exact bend is packed with two-footers feasting on those big bugs. But don’t sleep on the Green Drakes either—reports from Central Oregon say that hatch is just getting started, with Metolius regulars already swapping stories at the shop about which comparadun or purple-bodied special is fooling the pickiest trout.

Between world-class accolades, new rules that keep everyone guessing, fresh gear to drool over, and hatches that make you wish vacation days grew on trees, it’s a prime time to be part of the fly fishing crowd in the States. Now go check your knots and make sure your license isn’t expired—there’s never been a better reason to sneak in a few casts.
