# Fly Fishing This Week: What's Happening Now

Hey folks, it's your fly fishing roundup for November 2025, and there's some solid stuff happening out there worth talking about.

First up, if you've been itching to get back on the water after summer slowdown, fall is absolutely reviving the scene right now. The Confluence Fly Shop is reporting that cooler nights and early mountain snowmelt are bringing lower water temperatures that have fish way more active than they were through those hot months. This is classic stuff – the fish know something's changing, and they're feeding like they mean it. If you haven't gotten out there yet this fall, quit procrastinating.

Over on the West Coast, California made some moves that locals have been waiting for. Back in August, the Fish and Game Commission opened up all-depth groundfish fishing again after years of restrictions. They finally determined that quillback rockfish stocks are healthy, which means ocean anglers can get back to fishing depths they'd been locked out of. There are some new rules – canary rockfish has a two-fish sub-bag limit now, and vermilion and sunset rockfish get managed together – but the bottom line is access is back. That's a huge win for saltwater fly fishing in California.

Then there's the big international news that doesn't get enough attention in your average fly shop. The 4th FIPS Mouche World Ladies Fly Fishing Championship went down in Idaho Falls this past July, and the USA team hosted it on the legendary Snake River. The International Sport Fly Fishing Federation brought women's fly fishing talent from all over the world to compete in some absolutely beautiful water. This is the kind of thing that elevates the sport beyond just the guys standing waist-deep in their favorite creek. Representation matters, and this championship proved the women's side of fly fishing is legit.

Finally, if you're thinking about gear, the spring 2025 roundup showed some serious innovation in fly fishing equipment. Scientific Angler launched new striper lines for saltwater work – including a two-size heavy line that loads quickly and a full-sink head with a braided monofilament core for serious distance. The gear game keeps evolving, which means more options for you to dial in your setup exactly how you want it.
