These shows are the perfect excuse to drool over new gear, pick the brains of seasoned pros, and swap fish tales with like-minded anglers.

High-tech materials are making fly rods lighter and stronger than ever before. Keep an eye out for standout models like the Thomas & Thomas Paradigm and G.Loomis NRX Plus - they're setting new standards for performance and durability. But it's not just about catching more fish; sustainability is becoming a major focus too. We're seeing biodegradable fishing lines and lures, plus plant-based plastics for tackle boxes and tools.

There's a bit of controversy brewing in New Hampshire that's got fly anglers up in arms. The state is proposing to cut the number of "fly fishing only" trout ponds from 27 to 5, opening them up to spin tackle with artificial lures. Local fly anglers are worried about the impact on trophy trout waters and the hit to local businesses. It's a reminder that we need to stay engaged and speak up for our sport and our waters.So there you have it, folks - the latest buzz from the fly fishing world.
