  • Resumen

  • If you’re a fly fisher anywhere in the States right now, you know spring 2025 is shaping up to be a heck of a season. Here’s what everyone’s talking about along the streams and in the fly shops—and if you’re not in on this yet, you might want to grab your gear and hit the water.

    First off, the big buzz in the Midwest is all about the rainbow trout stocking at Fort McCoy. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just finished dropping more than 15,000 rainbows into the post’s waterways, right in time for opening day. What’s cool is that they’re not just pint-sized stockers—some are lunkers, holdovers from past years that’ve grown fat on all the bug life out there. Word is, they even pulled a beast over 20 inches in a recent survey. The Genoa hatchery folks, who started back in 1932, have this dialed in: the fish get certified healthy before they’re released, and they’re stocking for both catching and conservation. If you’re near Fort McCoy, you’ll want to bring a net big enough for a surprise[4].

    Meanwhile, out West, the Denver Fly Fishing Show this past February felt like a family reunion and gear expo rolled into one. Since AFFTA stopped hosting their trade show, Denver’s become the big get-together for folks in the industry and regular anglers alike. This year’s vibe? Travel, travel, travel. Everyone’s itching to check off those bucket-list rivers after years stuck closer to home. You’ve got outfitters pitching trips everywhere from Alaska to Bolivia, with jungle fishing looking wilder than ever. But fair warning: if you thought Montana was busy last summer, you haven’t seen anything yet—prime season is going to be crowded, so book your days or expect to make some new friends on the riverbank[5].

    Gear junkies, don’t worry—I didn’t forget you. The awards for the hottest new fly fishing gear just dropped, and the 2025 Gear Guide is packed with field-tested rods, reels, and gadgets that’ll make your old stuff look prehistoric. There’s buzz about lighter-weight rods with more backbone, reels with sealed drags smoother than a spring creek eddy, and even some smart gadgets that track your casts (yeah, seriously). If you want a deep dive, pick up a copy of the guide at your local newsstand and geek out[1][3].

    And for those who like to read as much as they fish, the latest issue of Drake Magazine is making the rounds. This spring’s lineup covers Wyoming trout, redfish in Louisiana, and even a spread on chasing bones in Hawaii. Perfect fireside reading to get you dreaming between trips[2].

    So, whether you’re elbow to elbow on the Madison, stalking a homegrown Fort McCoy rainbow, or daydreaming about distant jungles, fly fishing in 2025 is looking anything but boring. Tight lines—and save a spot in the current for the rest of us.
