概要

 Hey folks, gather round the campfire, its your old pal here with the straight scoop on whats shakin in fly fishing news across the US right now. First off, that snow drought hittin the West hard, like Midcurrent reports, means our freestone rivers in Utah, Colorado, and the PNW could see hoot owl restrictions kickin in early this summer. Water temps hittin 73 degrees for three days straight? Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks shuts down fishin from 2pm to midnight, and without snowmelt coolin things off, trout could cook at 77 degrees. Plan your trips smart, boys, or well all be sweatin it.

Over in Wyoming, Wyoming Game and Fish dropped some game-changers for 2026 startin Jan 1. Single-hook artificials only now on the Miracle Mile, Alcova Afterbay, Gray Reef, and Fremont Canyon to cut down on catch-and-release injuries. Pegged attractors banned at Fremont and Gray Reef, fly-lure zone stretched downstream to Government Bridge, and a new spawn closure April 1 to May 15 below Ledge Creek on Gray Reef for them rainbows. But good vibes in Jackson: no more October closure on Jackson Lake, and higher limits on key waters. More time sightin big browns, fellas.

Then theres the drama on Colorados Lower Blue River, where Colorado Parks and Wildlife just dropped their fishery survey. Biologist Jon Ewert calls out pellet-feedin programs for overcrowdin, gill lice, and trout die-offs, sayin it pushes fish past natural limits and spreads disease. Landowners like Blue Valley Ranch are pushin a permit system for floaters, but CPW says angler mortality aint the big bad here, especially on catch-and-release fly-only stretches. Keep an eye on this access fight, its got us all on edge.

And nationwide, the MAPWaters Act just passed the Senate, headin to the prez. Thatll make it dead simple to check if you can float or wade federal rivers from your phone. Plus, Flylab predicts 2026s a banner year with Gen Z tyin bugs like crazy and anglers gettin wise on river temps and PFAS. New gear too, engineered for cold conditions per Midcurrent.

Whew, lots to chew on for your next drift. Thanks for tunin in, come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines!
