After 5 years and a pair of,823 posts right here at MidCurrent, it’s time for me to show the reins over to somebody new.
I began with MidCurrent again in 2020, earlier than the pandemic. Marshall Cutchin, writer emeritus and then-owner of MidCurrent, employed me because the Information Editor. I used to be accountable for discovering and sharing the goings-on of the fly fishing world.
While you notice simply how small a neighborhood fly fishing is, it’s outstanding that we generate a lot information. Roughly 8 million folks fly-fished in 2023, the final yr for which information is accessible. That features everybody who went on a single-day float whereas on trip, and the trout bums who clock near 300 days a yr on the water. Of these 8 million, let’s say half are invested anglers who repeatedly fly-fish, purchase rods, journey, tie flies, and eat fly fishing content material.
That 4 million persons are so desirous about new gear releases, public land battles, bettering their abilities, tying flies, and conservation, is unbelievable. The variety of jobs our little neighborhood helps is frankly overwhelming, and I’m fortunate to be a part of it.
To all of the readers who repeatedly tuned in to MidCurrent for the previous 5 years—thanks. To everybody who left feedback (even the imply ones, as a result of they’re good for amusing typically), thanks. Thanks for studying what I wrote, supporting the remainder of the MidCurrent group, and serving to us obtain our purpose of being the go-to supply for fly-fishing information.
I’m additionally sincerely grateful for everybody who learn my gear evaluations these previous few years. MidCurrent gave me the prospect to dig into gear greater than ever earlier than, and as a gear junkie with a significant issue, it was incredible.
