Hey fly fishing fanatics, got some juicy news from around the country that'll get your blood pumping.First up, New Hampshire is causing quite the stink with their latest regulatory proposal. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department wants to slash fly fishing only waters from 27 ponds down to just 5, opening up those sacred spots to spin tackle with artificial lures. At a recent public meeting, fly anglers came out swinging. Steve Angers from North Country Angler pointed out the economic hit this would cause businesses in the Mount Washington Valley, while another angler called these waters fly fishing sanctuaries that shouldnt be touched. The proposal would also change some catch and release waters to limited take fisheries and shorten seasons on various waterways. Another meeting is scheduled for September in Lancaster where things could get heated again.Meanwhile, out in California, the Golden Trout Guiding Company is painting a different picture for 2025. Their January fishing report shows winter conditions are tough with sustained cold temps and low water flows, but theyre making the best of it. The big news is their 2025 Golden Trout Excursion running July 27th through August 3rd. This bucket list adventure targets pure strain golden trout in the high country, with anglers commonly catching 40 to 100 fish daily, mostly on dry flies. Only 5 spots remain out of 9 total positions, so serious anglers better move fast. The company is also booking summer 2025 trips including golden trout day trips, high elevation lake float tubing, and backcountry horseback adventures.Down in Virginia, Mossy Creek Fly Fishing reported that recent September rains brought just half an inch to an inch of water, barely enough to reset the dry conditions but enough to get smaller streams flowing and bump up the Shenandoah for easier floating. Tricos are still hatching while hoppers, beetles, ants and crickets remain active. They noted bass are starting to stack up in deep winter holes as they migrate from shallow banks and structure.The regulatory scene is shifting nationally with various states proposing changes that could impact access and fishing methods. New Jersey held a Fish Code Changes meeting in January discussing regulation updates, while California continues working through multiple regulatory changes for 2025 and 2026 seasons.Thanks for tuning in folks, come back next week for more fly fishing news and updates from around the country.
