• 2025 World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship Lands in Idaho Falls

  If you've been tying flies and planning your next drift, here’s what’s buzzing in the U.S. fly fishing scene this week. First up, Idaho Falls is about to get very lively as the International Sport Fly Fishing Federation picked this riverside town to host the 2025 World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship. According to USAngling, some of the world’s best anglers are headed to the legendary Snake River July 12 through the 19th next year. Not only are we talking dry flies and technical casting, but a showcase of skill, camaraderie, and a bit of that wild-west spirit. It’s not every day that folks from around the globe get to duke it out on runs you fish on a relaxing Saturday.If you’re chasing stripers or popping topwater for smallmouth, the September forecast from Mossy Creek Fly Fishing in Virginia says you’re in for stellar weather: ten days of sunshine, cool nights, and just enough breeze to keep things interesting. Brian from the shop reports that the recent cold mornings are putting the bass on notice, making early morning musky fishing a solid option. There’s still a solid Trico hatch going on for you spring creek heads, and folks are seeing late-season hexagenia mayflies in the evening. Pro tip from the Mossy crew: with water low and clear, cast long and keep your approach stealthy, especially for those spooky river bass.For the saltwater aficionados, big changes are coming for red snapper season. NOAA Fisheries just announced shorter recreational harvest windows for the South Atlantic in 2025. You’ll only get two days—July 11 and 12—to hit it for recreation before the window closes. The red snapper stock is still being rebuilt, so they’re dialing back to 22,797 fish for the rec crowd, which is a tighter limit than some folks hoped for but meant to give the population a fighting chance. Commercial opening begins July 14 and could run to the end of the year unless that quota gets nailed early. It pays to keep an eye on NOAA bulletins if you’re hoping to sneak out for snapper with a fly rod.Before you load the truck for Oregon, guides from Fly Fishers Place are saying the Crooked River’s been producing well, but hatches are down a touch—possibly thanks to some heavy water this spring. Leeches and scuds are strong producers, while smart fly fishers are throwing delicate midges and tiny dries if the trout get picky. Over on the Fall River, early risers are rewarded with morning leech action, but you’ll want to tie on a 7x tippet for those skinny water afternoons. PMDs, BWOs, and beetles are all getting eats, and a Yellow Sally could just save your trip if the hatch is sporadic.That’s the creekside scoop for this week—be sure to swing back next Friday for another dose of fishy news you won’t get from the big outlets.

• "Fly Fishing World Heats Up: From Idaho to Michigan, Exciting News Unfolds"

  Ever notice how fly fishing news only hits the mainstream when someone “catches” a tourist in their backcast? Not this week. Right now, the fly fishing world has some real meat on its bones, and you might want to grab a coffee and sit tight.First up, Idaho Falls is about to be the epicenter of global fly fishing. According to USAngling, the 4th World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship is coming to the legendary Snake River and its neighboring streams next July. That’s right—women from around the globe are packing their vests and prepping their best nymph patterns to chase wild American trout under the Idaho sky. The USA Women’s Fly Fishing Team will host and compete, showing off our local knowledge and world-class casting. If you know those waters, you know this is like inviting the world to your own backyard barbecue, and trust me, everyone wants to taste the brisket.Meanwhile, out in Michigan, the Department of Natural Resources just dropped new sportfishing regs for the 2025 season, and every steelheader should take a beat. Highlights include tweaks to the rainbow trout, aka steelhead, size and possession limits, and new gear restrictions on certain streams. A few rivers lost the classic 20-inch minimum size. That will change how folks approach their favorite runs, especially those who switch from stick to fly during spring runs. Headed to Grand Haven or Muskegon this fall? Check those hook regs—single-point hooks only, and no spearing allowed. Nobody wants their PB steelhead disqualified for a gear violation.On the West Coast, things are shaking up for the white sturgeon crowd. The California Fish and Game Commission made some emergency tweaks given the sturgeon’s endangered species status. Now it’s catch and release only for these old dinosaurs in several spots along the Sacramento—no more heading home with a legal behemoth in the trunk. The move follows some ugly population data and a few eyebrow-raising poaching busts. If you’re a purist who loves the slow burn of a sturgeon run on a heavy fly rig, just know it’s all about the release and the story now, not the fillets.And if you’ve been chasing rumor hatches on the Crooked and Fall Rivers, Jeff from the Fly Fishers Place blog confirmed it’s not your imagination—it’s been a weird bug season. High water this winter likely washed out some hatches, so you might be matching for leeches and scuds more than dainty dries lately. But, as he says, the river’s lesson is clear: we’re not always in charge out there. Bring your Zebra Midges and a sense of humor, because the fall will be different day to day, and anyone who claims predictability is selling something.If you're a fly flinger in college town country, you might get a kick out of this tidbit. Laramie, home of the University of Wyoming, just got ranked number six by Flylords on its list of top college towns for fly fishing. Between wild winds and wild browns, students there are double-hauling their way to Master Angler status before senior year. Apparently if you can cast in Laramie gusts, you can cast anywhere.That wraps it for the latest on fly fishing in the U.S.—thanks for tuning in and wasting a little less time on land with us. Come back next week for more stories that keep you daydreaming about the water. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more of me, check out QuietPlease dot A I.

• Fly Fishing Enthusiasts: Gear Up for the 2025 World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship in Idaho Falls

  Alright y’all, grab a cup of coffee and let’s take a walk through some of the biggest fly fishing stories making news right now—a little locals-only talk to keep things interesting as we ride out the late summer hatches.Kicking things off, the big buzz in the fly fishing world is headed to Idaho Falls in July 2025, as the US is set to host the World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship right on the hallowed waters of the Snake River. According to USAngling, this is the 4th time the global competition lands stateside, and just seeing the top female anglers from around the world gather to duel it out over native trouts is enough to get even the crustiest guide a little fired up. If you’re local or just want to cheer on Team USA—led by Lindsay Szofran and Melissa Smith—put those dates on your calendar, because the afterparty stories alone will be worth it.Now, for something a little policy-driven: the South Atlantic red snapper fishery, a favorite winter story-swap among fly folks lucky enough to travel south, is seeing significant changes. NOAA Fisheries just hammered out a new management plan that kicks in July and sets very specific annual limits for both recreational and commercial anglers. That means tighter restrictions—especially if you’re chasing these snapper with an 8-weight and a crazy pink streamer. The whole plan is to stave off overfishing and keep the stocks healthy for generations; seems like a pain now, but everyone agrees it beats the alternative.Speaking of regulations, the Minnesota DNR just laid out a fresh round of fishing law updates for the 2025-26 season—and if you love targeting trout or sneaking out for a late summer multi-species slam, you’ll want to read up. For example, they’ve untangled the limits for channel and flathead catfish, so it’s easier to know where you stand with your keepers. Trout nuts should also note that next year’s stream trout opener is set for April 11, not April 1 as previously printed. There’s also new information about exotic species like American eel, but let’s be honest, unless you got skunked by rainbows all day, you’re probably not swinging flies for eels.Finally, for the gearheads and hometown heroes, MidCurrent spotlighted the upcoming Carp Slam XIX put on by Denver Trout Unlimited next weekend. Urban angling doesn’t get much more fun than watching fly rodders go toe-to-toe with golden ghosts in the heart of Denver. It’s part tournament, part party, all heart, raising money to restore and protect local fisheries. Plus, Ross Reels just announced their Machinist Edition limited run—a beautiful piece, if you appreciate Colorado craftsmanship and want to throw some bling on your rig.That wraps it up for this week’s local fly fishing news—thanks for tuning in and swapping stories with me. Be sure to come back next week for more updates, tips, and a little bit of fishy gossip. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

• "Fly Fishing World Championship Comes to Idaho in 2025"

  The fly fishing crowd has had a lot to chew on lately, so here’s what’s been buzzing in the local and national news circles. First up, grab your calendar because, in July 2025, Idaho Falls is hosting the 4th World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship. USAngling and the International Sport Fly Fishing Federation are pulling out all the stops as women from all corners of the globe descend on the Snake River and a boatload of other legendary Idaho spots for a week-long throwdown. If you’re local, you already know the Snake’s magic, but expect a real spectacle—a lot of world-class anglers, some serious camaraderie, and maybe a few new tricks to pick up if you wander down to watch.Now, on the policy side of things, NOAA Fisheries just rolled out fresh regs on South Atlantic red snapper. If you get the itch to travel and bend a rod in salty water, pay attention. The new rules, part of Amendment 59, put hard numbers on how many red snapper can be caught each year—509,000 fish across all anglers, with only 22,797 fish reserved for recreational folks. It’s a direct response to new population data and a push to keep things sustainable, so expect tighter check-ins and a lot more chatter about conservation when you’re at the marina.Back here in the local creeks, Jeff from Fly Fishers Place dropped a recent report on how Oregon’s Crooked River and Fall River are fishing. The Crooked is giving up fish, but if you’re looking for dry fly action you might have to time it right or try switching to leeches and scuds. Summer nymphs like Zebra Midges and Rainbow Warriors are the bread and butter now, but don’t be afraid to tie on a Purple Haze or Sparkle Dun for those picky risers. Over on the Fall River, it’s the early birds who are winning—leech patterns under an indicator do the trick at first light, and the afternoon brings good rising fish willing to take PMDs, BWOs, and the trusty Yellow Sally. If you like tiny tippet, Jeff says 7X is your best friend now.And in gear news, MidCurrent has the scoop on Ross Reels dropping their new Machinist Edition reel. This one’s for the folks who appreciate a finely crafted tool—machined, hand-finished, and assembled in Colorado, with a nod to all the machinists who make the sport tick behind the scenes. If you’re in the market for something new for your setup, or you’re just a fan of gear that’s made close to home, this might be one to put on your radar.That does it for this week’s roundup. Thanks for tuning in and soaking up the latest on all things fly fishing. Don’t forget to come back next week for more.

• "Fly Fishing Frenzy: Youth Team USA Dominates World Championship, California Regulations Shift"

  If you’ve been tying on tippet lately, you know that US fly fishing news is thicker than a salmon fly hatch after a spring melt. For starters, let’s tip our hat to the young guns—Team USA Youth Fly Fishing just absolutely smoked the field at the 2025 World Youth Fly Fishing Championship. Idaho Falls played host to the international showdown and the Americans brought the gold back home, showing just how deep the new generation runs. These kids aren’t just casting well; they’re carrying on the torch with a focus on conservation and camaraderie. There’s even going to be regional clinics this year, so if you got a young one itching to trade Fortnite for fly rods, keep your ears up.Now, if you’re more of a regs-and-rules kinda angler, there’s plenty bubbling below the surface. The California Fish and Game Commission just finalized some key regulatory moves for salmon season and white sturgeon catch and release. Salmon regs are now officially synced up with the new federal standards for the 2025–2026 ocean season. And sturgeon? That bite is catch-and-release only for now, thanks to emergency protections triggered by dwindling numbers. Folks will need to adjust, but most river rats around here say it’s a small price to pay for keeping the future alive.On the fly shop grapevine, the Crooked and Fall rivers are getting plenty of chatter. According to Jeff’s Fishing Reports, the Crooked is putting up numbers, though bug hatches have been quirky—maybe all that high water earlier in the year shuffled things around. Leeches and scud patterns are a good bet. The Fall is spottier—some mornings, it’s lights out and other afternoons, the risers are sipping PMDs and BWOs like it’s happy hour. If you’re into technical dries and love outsmarting picky trout, these waters still have the juice, but you’ll need 7x and nerves of steel most days.And for gear heads, there’s fresh buzz from the tradeshow circuit. Even though the legendary Fly Tackle Dealer Show is toast, fly innovation is still alive at ICAST. Ross Reels just dropped their Machinist Edition—a slick, limited-run reel machined and finished in Colorado, meant to tip the cap to the hometown heroes building your gear. Word on the street is you’ll want to keep both hands on your wallet at the shop.Before I wrap up, if you want to see the clash of big ideas and big fish, check out the Carp Slam coming up in Denver. Trout Unlimited’s urban showdown tosses the delicate midge playbook for something rougher and rowdier. All proceeds go to keeping the South Platte fishy—plus, it’s pure grassroots community, the way fly fishing should be.Alright, that’s your pulse check for what’s running hot on the US fly fishing scene. Thanks for tuning in, and swing back next week for more local news, tales, and updates. This has been a Quiet Please production—check out QuietPlease Dot A I for more.
