 First up, let’s talk about New Hampshire—where if you haven’t heard, there’s a serious buzz in the fly fishing community, and not the good kind. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department wants to shake things up big time, cutting fly-fishing-only ponds from 27 to just 5. That means a bunch of water that’s been sacred ground for us long-rodders could get opened to spin tackle. Fly fishers turned out in force at the last hearing to let the officials know just how rough a deal this would be, with folks calling those fly-only waters "sanctuaries" for a reason. They’re worried this’ll kill the trophy trout fishing vibe and put a dent in the small-town fly fishing economy. Word is, it’s still a proposal, but definitely something to keep your eyes on if you fish the Granite State.

Now, if you’re more in the Midwest groove, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula trout crowd just saw some big rule tweaks. As of October, the Michigan Natural Resources Commission changed the regs on several inland lakes, with some going from special trout rules to more relaxed “Type A” status. That means a lower size minimum—just 10 inches now—and a higher daily limit of five trout on certain lakes. Four lakes even lost their special trout status entirely. The idea here is to open up these spots for multi-species fishing and base the regs on what’s actually living in those waters. Good news or bad, depending on how you feel about competition from the walleye and bass crowd.

Meanwhile, out in the Eastern Sierra, California’s already gearing up for an epic 2025. According to Golden Trout Guiding Company’s January report, this winter’s been cold and dry, but guides are making the best of it—trading snowstorms for sunny days on the Owens. If you’ve always wanted to get into fly fishing or have a newbie friend, their Spring Clinic is set for April 12th and 13th and already taking names for the waitlist. And if you’re dreaming bigger, they’re hyping their Golden Trout Excursion in late July, where folks got on dry flies for 40 to 100 goldens a day last year. Not a typo. That’s classic bucket-list stuff, and apparently the word’s out since half the spots are already gone. Booking is also open for opening day trout season in late April, plus backcountry trips and more.

Finally, on the national scene, Fly Fishers International is heading to Grand Rapids for a live event this August, primed for casting clinics, gear talk, and lots of conservation chatter. Their Southeastern Council just put on a youth event and handed out eight Bronze Fly Casting certificates—which is awesome to see, as the next generation steps up to the plate.

Thanks for tuning in, folks. Stay sharp, keep those knots tight, and circle back next week for more news, rumors, and old-fashioned trout talk. This has been a Quiet Please production, and if you want to find out more or support the show, check out quietplease.ai. See you on the water!
