Hey folks, gather round the fly bench, its your old pal here with the latest buzz from the US fly fishing scene thats got us locals grinning ear to ear. Picture this: youre knee-deep in some blue-ribbon trout water when boom, access just opened up like a fresh hatch. MidCurrent reports that over the last few months, fly anglers fought and won big time miles of private water now promising public rods-welcome, a nasty mining scrap around Georgias swamp wrapped with public access on the table, and a fresh federal directive shaking up Interior Department lands to boost hunting and fishing. Thats real water for us, not some guidebook dream.
But hold your horses, not all victories stick. Wyomings push to make corner crossing legal in state law? Dead in the water, says MidCurrent, and Montanas not even teeing it up till 2027. Still, keeps the fire lit for us trespassing traditionalists.
Now, shake off the winter blues cause the expo circuit is firing up hot. The Fly Fishing Show schedule from MidCurrent has Marlborough, Mass, January 16 to 18, Edison, New Jersey the 23rd to 25th, and Denver February 6 to 8 all lined up for 2026. Gear demos, tyers slinging bugs, and that unbeatable shop talk. Dont sleep on the Great Waters Fly Fishing Expo in St. Paul March 13 to 15, their site brags its the biggest in the region with free casting lessons, seminars, and bucks going to Minnesota Trout Unlimited. And Fly Fishers International is hyping the Sowbug Roundup in Mountain Home, Arkansas, March 26 to 28 the premier fly tying bash in the country.
Up in California, The Fly Shop news has me itching for Shasta its a bass bonanza with 30,000 acres of spots, smallies, and largemouth screaming for poppers. Plus, those Klamath dams are finally toast after a century of blocking salmon, opening upper reaches for epic runs.
Locals, these stories scream its a golden time to wet a line or hit the shows. Tie tight, fish hard.
