After 5 years and 2,823 posts here at MidCurrent, it’s time for me to turn the reins over to somebody brand-new.
I began with MidCurrent back in 2020, before the pandemic. Marshall Cutchin, publisher emeritus and then-owner of MidCurrent, employed me as the News Editor. I supervised of finding and sharing the goings-on of the fly fishing world.
When you recognize simply how little a neighborhood fly fishing is, it’s amazing that we produce a lot news. Approximately 8 million individuals fly-fished in 2023, the in 2015 for which information is readily available. That consists of everybody who went on a single-day float while on holiday, and the trout bottoms who clock near to 300 days a year on the water. Of those 8 million, let’s state half are invested anglers who frequently fly-fish, purchase rods, travel, tie flies, and take in fly fishing material.
That 4 million individuals are so thinking about brand-new equipment releases, public land fights, enhancing their abilities, connecting flies, and preservation, is amazing. The variety of tasks our little neighborhood supports is honestly frustrating, and I’m fortunate to be part of it.
To all the readers who frequently tuned in to MidCurrent for the previous 5 years– thank you. To everybody who left remarks (even the mean ones, since they benefit a laugh in some cases), thank you. Thanks for reading what I composed, supporting the remainder of the MidCurrent group, and assisting us accomplish our objective of being the go-to source for fly-fishing news.
