Senate Vote Nullifies Boundary Waters Mineral Withdrawal: What Twin Metals Mine Means for Fly Fishing in Minnesota

Hey folks, gather round the campfire, its your boy here with the latest buzz from the fly fishing world thats got us locals fired up. First off, MidCurrent reports the Senate just squeezed through a 50-49 vote on H.J. Res. 140, nullifying that 20-year mineral withdrawal in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness headwaters. That means Twin Metals copper-nickel mine might finally dig in on the Rainy River, stirring up big debates among us BWCA diehards who live for those pristine trout streams. Keep an eye on President Trumps desk, brothers this could change everything up north.

Down in Florida, same MidCurrent scoop says a settlement tweaked the permit for a rock mine in the Everglades Agricultural Area. It narrows the scope, demands new permits for growth, but the projects alive with Army Corps still reviewing. Us Everglades anglers are watching close, not wanting any silt messing with our bonefish flats or redfish runs.

Shifting gears to the fun stuff, Fly Fishers International has FlyFest locked in for September 24-26 in Redding, California, put on by The Fly Shop. Think three days of casting clinics, gear demos, and swapping lies with top anglers. And MidCurrent dropped the 2026 Fly-Fishing Show schedule kickoff with Denver February 6-8, then Cincy, Bellevue, and more nationwide. Perfect for stocking up on rods from Sage to Winston before hitting the water.

Orvis News chimes in that 2025 marks their 40th year honoring top Endorsed Lodges, Outfitters, and Guides. If youre planning a trip, these spots deliver the real deal from Missouri River dries to saltwater pushes.

Man, these headlines got me itching for my next drift. Thanks for tuning in, locals come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines!
