If you’re into fly fishing and want to know what’s been buzzing lately, grab your gear and listen up because the news out there this week is as fresh as a hatch on the Madison.First things first, the Fly Fishers International crowd is getting ready to hold their big shindig next month in Grand Rapids, Michigan. If you’ve ever wanted to rub elbows—or maybe swap streamer tips—with some real die-hard folks, that’s the place to be. They’re not just talking shop, either; they’re standing strong for better access to federal public lands and pushing conservation like it’s their favorite dry fly. So if you’re near Michigan, this is your sign—pack the rod and head over for the good times.Now, there’s been a pretty bold move in California, especially for the folks who swat bugs out in the Central Valley. The California Fish and Game Commission has signed off on new regs for catch and release white sturgeon fishing. With the species up for endangered status, you now gotta let ‘em go no matter how much that fight made your arm ache. These emergency rules went live in June and are running through early September, and there’s word they plan to keep some form of catch and release on the books for the long haul. So for those who chase dinosaurs on the Delta, check the latest so you aren’t caught off guard.Speaking of regs, there’s talk straight from Fly Fishing Daily about trout pond rules getting the axe in some areas for the 2025 season. Used to be 27 trout ponds would let you fish fly-only—now they’re looking at slashing it all the way down to just 5. That means folks who love the solitude and challenge of a fly-only water might find it a little more crowded with other anglers. If that’s your jam, might be worth fighting to protect those spots or finding a hidden gem somewhere just off the beaten path.For the gear heads out there, Hatch Magazine just dropped their September roundup, and let’s just say it’s a good month to be a rod junkie. Orvis is dropping a fresh batch of two-handed rods that they say dampen vibration and give you that smooth cast we’re all chasing. Made in the USA and built for both forgiving and sharp performance, these rods could make your next steelhead or striper session a whole new level of fun. There’s a mix of freshwater and saltwater up for grabs—so whether you fish the coast or creek, there’s something worth drooling over in the lineup.Alright, that about wraps it for this week’s scroll through the latest fly fishing scene.
