 If you’ve been on the water lately, you can probably feel it: fly fishing isn’t just having a moment, it’s having a whole new era.

Outdoor Radio Network reports that fly fishing participation in the U.S. jumped about 25% in 2024, and the curve is still pointed up. More people are trading doomscrolling for drifting nymphs, and the industry’s scrambling to keep up: recycled-material rods, eco waders, and apps that tell you when your favorite tailwater is finally dropping into shape. Shops are doubling down on teaching, too—Euro nymphing clinics, women’s casting nights, even “first fish after work” happy-hour trips.

Speaking of women, USAngling says the U.S. women’s fly fishing team just hosted the 4th FIPS-Mouche World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship in Idaho Falls this year, right on the Snake and its feeder waters. Team USA didn’t just hand out swag and smile for photos; they laid it down: team gold plus individual gold and silver. The cool part is their mission isn’t just medals—they’ve mentored dozens of new women anglers and logged hundreds of hours on habitat work. So if you’ve been wondering who’s really pushing the sport forward, it’s not just the old guard in drift boats; it’s these women building community and fixing streams between practice sessions.

On the policy side, the lawyers have waded in—felt soles optional. Outdoor Life and Maine outlet WGME both report on a lawsuit in Maine where a family is challenging “fly-fishing only” regulations on 226 waters. Their argument is that fly-only rules favor wealthier anglers and clash with Maine’s Right to Food amendment, since some of those waters are catch-and-release or restricted to fly gear only. Conservation folks counter that fly-only stretches are one of the tools that kept some of those classic Maine trout ponds from turning into put-and-take mudholes decades ago. However this shakes out, you can bet managers around the country are watching; if Maine’s fly-only lines move, other states might start erasing or redrawing theirs, and that changes where and how all of us get to fish.

Meanwhile, the map itself is getting smarter. The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership reports that the MAPWaters Act has cleared Congress and is headed for the president’s signature. Once that kicks in, federal agencies will have to modernize how they share info on closures, gear restrictions, no-take zones, and all the messy little rules we usually discover on a faded sign at the boat ramp. Think of it as taking all the “Oh, you can’t use barbed hooks here” surprises and putting them in one digital place before you rig up.

So yeah, from record participation to gold-medal women, court battles over who gets to fish what, and a new national map for the rules, fly fishing news this week is anything but boring. It’s a good time to be paying attention—and a better time to have a rod strung up in the truck.
