 As January wraps up, fly fishing chatter is buzzing from Idaho Falls to the high lakes of California and in gear shops across the Rockies. If you’re itching to fool a few trout or curious about what’s changing in the world of fly fishing right now, here’s what you need to know.

First up, the buzz in the Eastern Sierra is all about the announced Spring Clinic, set for April 12th and 13th this year. The crew at Golden Trout Guiding Co. is bringing it back to basics at the Owens River—perfect for anyone who’s spun a fly rod only once or twice or just watched from the eddy while their friends bragged about topwater eats. With only eight spots and several already spoken for, this event promises two full days of hands-on learning and, of course, new fishy friends. Plan ahead if you’re gunning for that legendary golden trout this summer—these backcountry trips into golden trout territory are nearly full. Folks coming back year after year will vouch for catching “40 to 100 fish a day, and mostly on topwater.” It’s old-school dry-fly heaven, but you better be ready to hike a bit and laugh a lot, maybe even over some five-star streamside meals.

Meanwhile, the competition flies are out in Idaho Falls, home of the 2025 Fly Fishing Team USA National Championship. According to a recent YouTube vlog from TroutFliesUtah, the event spanned everything from lakes like Sheridan and Hepkin to classic rivers like Henry’s Fork and the Graze. The energy at these competitions is fierce—while a few anglers are there to just be part of the scene, others are gunning for a shot at Team USA and a golden ticket to fish internationally. Major shoutouts go to Fulling Mill for backing American anglers and helping keep the competitive side of our sport alive and well.

If you’re a gear junkie, you might be noticing something interesting in the shops this year. Angling Trade magazine says the pandemic-era boom is cooling, but the core group—the die-hard regulars—are still buying, still road-tripping, and still getting after it. Local fly shops in Colorado, for example, broke records in July as Texans streamed north to chase summer trout. High-end rods and reels aren’t flying off the shelves quite as fast as last year, but nobody’s stopped inventing or daydreaming about the perfect 9-foot, five-weight. Trends may come and go, but trout remain America’s favorite fish to chase.

To wrap it up, California anglers have a quirk to check in the new fishing regs this year. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife rolled out free fishing days for July 5th and August 30th in 2025. Everyone—yes, everyone—can fish across the state without a license on those days, though you still need those report cards if you’re after steelhead, salmon, or sturgeon. Mark those dates, start prepping those rigs, and get your neighbor off the couch and on the water.
