Everything you get as a MidCurrent Plus member—and why it matters.
Personalized Monthly Fishing Guides
Every month, we publish detailed guides covering what’s fishing well right now in your favorite fishing region—hatches, fly recommendations, proven techniques, and destination ideas. But here’s the difference: Standard members don’t get a generic overview. You get guides tailored to the species you fish and the region you call home.
What’s inside each guide:
- Current hatch charts and emergence timing
- Fly patterns that are producing, and tips on presentation
- Techniques matched to seasonal and regional conditions
- Water recommendations and destination ideas
- Gear and presentation considerations for the month ahead
Free members receive one combined overview guide covering all regions.
Standard members receive up to four personalized guides each month based on your selected species and region—Trout, Saltwater, Warmwater, or Salmon & Steelhead.
Guides are released on the 1st of each month and available for download in your account.
Personalized Weekly Newsletters
Your inbox is already crowded. We don’t want to add to the noise—we want to cut through it.
Every Thursday, MidCurrent Plus members receive a newsletter built around your interests. If you fish trout in the Rockies, you won’t see articles about bonefish in the Keys (unless you want to). If you’re chasing steelhead in the Pacific Northwest, we’ll surface the content that actually helps you.
What’s in each newsletter:
- Feature articles matched to your species and region
- New gear and fly pattern reviews relevant to your fishing
- Technique deep-dives at your skill level
- Destination ideas for your part of the world
- Quick links to the week’s best content
Free members receive a curated weekly newsletter with highlights from across MidCurrent.
Standard members receive a fully personalized newsletter matched to your species, region, and experience level.

Free members can submit 1 question per month.
Standard members can submit up to 3 questions per month.
Most questions are answered within 24–48 hours. Follow-up questions on the same topic don’t count against your limit.
Members-Only Gear Discounts
Every month, we partner with a different fly fishing brand to offer Standard members an exclusive discount—typically 15–30% off retail.
Past partners have included leaders in rods, reels, waders, flies, packs, and accessories. The discount alone can pay for your membership several times over.
How it works:
- We announce the monthly discount in your newsletter and account dashboard
- You get a unique code to use at checkout on the partner’s site
- Save 15–30% on gear you were already considering
