Welcome to the fourth annual Airing of Grievances on the Troutbitten Podcast. Buckle up. Because it's time to clear the air about a few things, to complain about some other things and get all the frustrations out in the open.We look forward to this episode every year, because honestly, it's a lot of fun. I know that listeners anticipate this one as well, and just like last year, we have a bunch of guest grievances to add to the mix.We're here to complain. Why? Because acknowledging the absurdity of some stuff in the fly fishing world can do a lot of good. And because it's fun and probably healthy to get things out in the open once in a while. And we start to realize that the stuff that bothers us, seems to bother a lot of other people too. The truth is, we've seen a lot of good changes in our industry in the last few years as well. And some of that is about topics that made it into our grievances podcasts three or four years ago. Most people really are being more discreet about spot burning, for example. I think the message is out there, that hey, spot burning isn't cool, and it kind of shows your inexperience if you do it. I honestly see better angler etiquette out there as well — all the way around. Sure . . . I know, not everywhere. But overall, I think the messages about giving other anglers space, about how to hold a trout and other ethical guidelines are starting to hit home. Good things are beginning to stick. This is the best part of social media and the large community of anglers. The truth is, most people really want to do the right things — or at least, they don't want to harm others or ruin another angler's fishing experience. And a podcast like this can really help to give voice to some of the supposedly unspoken or unwritten rules of fly fishing.So yeah, we think that airing of grievances really is beneficial to the overall scene.This all started because most of us are big Seinfeld fans. And part of Frank Costanza's Festivus holiday is what he calls the airing of grievances, where the whole family sits around the dinner table and lists what they don't like about one another. “I gotta lotta problems with you people, and now . . . you're gonna hear about it . . ."VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/

What do you do when you run into a fish that just refuses EVERYTHING you throw at it? You get a bunch of good drifts, you assume you're using the right fly, but the fish just ignores your bugs, and acts like you're not even there. What's the next step in a situation like that? Well, this week on Untangled, Spencer Durrant walks you through the steps he uses to troubleshoot those days on the water that go beyond getting skunked. They feel like the fish took your dignity! And if you want to avoid that, you'll need to hear the three steps he shares in today's show.  In the show's Q&A section, you'll also learn about:  How to pick the right fly rod for carp and pike fishing How to pick the right fly rod for fishing on small streams Why the 9' 5-weight is such a versatile fly rod How to tell emergers, cripples, and "regular" dry flies apart without memorizing the names of patterns  LINKS FROM THE SHOW Get the FREE Year-Round Hatch Chart - CHECK IT OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE VIDEO - The Right Fly Formula - CHECK IT OUT GEAR - Shop the Fly Flinger - CHECK IT OUT  

#771 Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/771B Presented by: Visit Idaho  In this episode, we have Jess Westbrook, an expert in the world of youth fly fishing and giving back in a big way. From mentoring foster kids to helping lead one of the most dominant youth teams in fly fishing. This conversation is full of inspiration, tactical tips and techniques.  Find out why top anglers adapt quickly to changing conditions.

We talk a lot about our frame of reference in fly fishing. Wherever you get into the game, a lot of your baseline is set by whatever is popular or widely accepted at that moment in time. My friend, Matt Mickey, recently argued that Gen X anglers are uniquely positioned, that this generation has experienced development and had a wide variety of influences that will never be duplicated.We've learned through every form of media. We grew up in a time where good information was sparse, and most of us are largely self-taught. So it makes me wonder, will that kind of experience ever happen again? Meaning, fifty years from now, when the twenty-somethings are seventy-something, will they have the same depth of experience? Sure, they'll have time on the water, but will they be missing some important things? And if, let's say, modern anglers new to the game are missing some things, is it possible to go back and get them?That's what this episode is all about.My friends, Trevor Smith and Matt Mickey join me for a great discussion.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | How To Stay in the Fly Fishing Game for a LifetimeREAD: Troutbitten | Life On the WaterVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/

This season we've heard about the disastrous spring salmon run and there hasn't been much to report yet for the grilse run – all in all, our worst fears about salmon numbers seem to be coming true – and not just in Ireland. One of the worst culprits of course is aquaculture and the effects that sea lice from salmon farms has on migrating salmon, which the industry – and the Government via the State body, the Marine Institute – try to lessen by quoting from a dubious scientific paper. However, the hugely respected fishery scientist, Paddy Gargan, has led and released what's been called a landmark study which shows that, contrary to the Marine Institute and salmon farming's stance, sea lice does have a major and significant effect on the mortality of salmon. This paper has just been released and its implications will be far reaching. Plus, staying with salmon, we also speak to John Murphy, from Salmon Watch Ireland.  John is back from last week's NASCO conference where the stark reality about the future of wild Atlantic salmon was laid bare. For more on Paddy Garagan's sea lice study:https://salmonwatchireland.ie/2025/05/29/issue-number-14-30-may-2025-salmon-watch-ireland/ Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.

Jamieson, Ted, Wyatt, and Andrew gather around the old oak table once more to tackle some tough topics—like Crocs, educational electrocutions, and other near-death encounters. The crew discusses recent and firsthand experiences with Mosquito Lagoon's low water levels and how they may impact skiff travel. Ted shares stories from a recent tarpon expedition in the Florida Keys, and there's a healthy dose of group “shoe talk.” They also review the day's events, including some pre-fishing ahead of “Larrypalooza” and the meetup at the “Wedding Bar.” Plus, we get a glimpse into Wyatt's origin story and the early days of his fly fishing journey while spending a summer working in Alaska.

There's no such thing as a "magic fly" that works 100% of the time. BUT - the Adams dry fly might be the closest we'll ever get to that kind of silver bullet.  So, what is it about the Adams that makes this fly so effective? It's been around for over 100 yeaers, and anglers today love it as much as they did back in 1922.  This week on Untangled, you'll learn all about how the Adams was developed, how it's changed over the years, and why it's still such an effective fly.  You'll also learn about:  What makes a fly rod good for throwing dry flies How to tie flies so that your materials stay on the top of the hook Whether your flies need to be "Instagram-perfect" in order for fish to eat them  LINKS FROM THE SHOW   Get the FREE Year-Round Hatch Chart - CHECK IT OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE STORY - History of the Adams - CHECK IT OUT GEAR - The VFC Fly Collections - CHECK THEM OUT VIDEO - Right Fly Formula - CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - Fly Rod Action Explained - CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - How to Use the Pinch Wrap - CHECK IT OUT

So . . . how was it? How many did you catch? This is always the question for every fisherman, right? Whether I'm talking to my friends about a fishing trip from last week, or as I walked in the door this evening, my wife asked the same question — how many fish did you catch?It's a fair question. Because that's the goal out there (usually). We go fishing to catch fish. But the answers we give can also reveal a different story.“Well, I caught eight this morning, but I missed another handful underneath. And when I was fishing dry flies, I had a few refusals. While fishing streamers, another three fish slammed my fly but didn't eat it. And I lost the biggest trout of the day when he popped off during the fight.”Every angler has these same kinds of stories.So I think we'd all agree that the primary goal out there — the first and most important goal of fishing — is to fool a fish. To make that trout believe that what you're offering is worthwhile — to trick a trout. Honestly, I think that's a large part of why most of us choose trout fishing in the first place — because as a species, they're picky and hard to fool.So we convince a trout or make them curious enough to eat the fly (or at least almost eat it). But then . . . as we all know, what happens next is variable. Sometimes we're late on the hookset, sometimes trout reject the fly at the last second, or maybe the fish wins a quick battle and spits the fly. But all of those incidentals don't change the fact that we fooled a fish, even though it didn't end up in the net. We achieved that primary goal.I think everyone here counts fish to some extent. But what are we really keeping track of, and why? I like to say that every fisherman counts. I mean, you know if you catch zero, one or two trout, right?I keep track of things as a measurement of what's working and what is not. And to me, the stats are a lot more detailed than just fish to the net. What a trout ate, where he ate it, how he took the fly and how was I fishing the fly when he ate it? Those stats matter too.Long ago, while night fishing, I started keeping track of trout caught, trout lost, and trout missed. I still do this, and as I said a few minutes ago, I think most anglers do this to some extent. The count doesn't need to be perfect or precise. But when we miss a trout, that's good information, because we fooled a fish. And when we lose a trout, we can be even more sure that we gained their interest.So caught, lost and missed. Why do we catch ‘em. And why do we miss or lose some trout? More importantly, what does that tell us, or how does it inform our next change?That's what we're here to talk about tonight.My friends, Matt Grobe, Bill Dell and Josh Darling join me for a great discussion.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Nobody Home, Nobody HungryPODCAST: Troutbitten | Why Do We Miss Fish, and Why Do We Lose Fish on a Fly?

Carp might not be everyone's first target on a fly rod—but once you hook into one, you'll understand the obsession. In this episode, we're joined once again by Andrew Smalling, partner at Fly South in Nashville and a dedicated carp aficionado. Whether you've only cast to them on a whim or you're looking to pursue them intentionally, this episode is packed with hard-earned insight to help you do it right.We dig into what makes carp such an exciting and challenging species to chase, especially on the fly. Andrew walks us through what to look for when scouting carp water—from shallow creek mouths and muddy flats to warm tailwaters and urban ponds—and how to spot the difference between carp and similar-looking species like buffalo and redhorse. His advice on reading behavior and body language is worth the listen alone.We also get into fly patterns, gear, and tactics. From bread flies and crayfish to San Juan worms and natural-colored nymphs, Andrew shares his favorites and how to fish them. He breaks down his “drag and drop” presentation method, hook preferences, and tips for getting the right weight without spooking fish. It's a full-on crash course in one of the most underappreciated fights in freshwater fly fishing.If you're a trout angler who's ever floated into warmer water and spotted tailing fish—or if you've always wondered what those shadows cruising the flats are up to—this episode will help you take that shot with confidence.Resources:Visit southeasternfly.comSign up for our newsletterProduced by NOVA

When you fish long enough, things break. That's the nature of life, really . . . things fall apart. But if you're resourceful, you put them back together.Sometimes it's out of necessity. Honestly, a couple decades ago, I simply couldn't afford to go through gear as fast as it was wearing down, so I learned to patch waders, fix a fly rod, mend a fly line, resole my boots, sew tears in my fishing vest and fix my landing net.Likewise,  we've all run into those moments on a fishing trip where we need a quick fix for a broken rod tip or a wader patch . . . whatever it is.We all spend a lot of time, money and effort to get to the river and go fishing. But as we all know, even the simplest gear failure can change the day — it can ruin your trip. But by carrying a few things like zip ties, electrical tape, tension straps, Dacron and maybe a sewing kit, field repair or maybe just fifteen minutes spent at the tailgate can save the day.Also, part of a life on the water is the maintenance and preparation — doing what you need to do — to keep your fishing gear stocked, functional and ready to go.Being a versatile angler, like we talk about so much, requires a lot of stuff, and if you don't think it through and keep on top of it, gear failures can hold you back.That's what the guys are here to talk about tonight.My friends, Matt Grobe, Bill Dell, Dr. Trevor Smith and Steve Sawyer join me for a great discussion.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | All the ThingsPODCAST: Troutbitten | Versatile Angler - S3, Ep15VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/

How much is a fish worth? Most anglers would immediately default to answering that question based on what the cost of that fish sells at market. The real answer, however, is much more complex! In this engaging and informative seminar, Dr Ben Meadows of the University of Alabama at Birmingham provides viewers an in-depth look into the economics of catch & release fishing. Using striped bass as a case study, Meadows engages listeners with relatable prose that helps dispel many of the myths of fisheries economics and provides a better understanding of how we should value the fish we all love.

In this guest lecture, Dr. Walt Golet from the University of Maine provided an in-depth exploration of the remarkable physiology and global movements of Atlantic bluefin tuna. Dr. Golet highlighted the species' exceptional adaptations, such as their ability to regulate body temperature and sustain high-speed, long-distance migrations, which contribute to their status as apex ocean predators. The seminar discussed extensive lab research efforts, including the collection and analysis of over 12,000 bluefin tuna samples since 2011, focusing on biological data like age, growth, and stock origin to enhance stock assessments and inform management strategies. Dr. Golet also emphasized the importance of understanding the mixing between eastern and western Atlantic stocks, a factor critical to sustainable fisheries management. As an active contributor to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), Dr. Golet integrates his scientific findings into international policy discussions, aiming to ensure the long-term sustainability of bluefin tuna populations through informed, science-based management practices.

Cutthroat trout are the meanest, nastiest, gnarliest trout that ever roamed planet earth!  Okay, they're not. In fact, they've got a reputation for being kinda easy to catch.  But cutthroat are so much more than just eager dry fly eaters. They're one of the West's native trout, they're hugely important to some of the most unique ecosystems on earth, and catching them in the high country is one of the sport's greatest experiences.  This week on Untangled, you'll learn why so many anglers hold the cutthroat in such high regard. From learning all about their life history and exploring their native range, to tips on how to catch them today, you'll end this episode ready to become part of the cutthroat's epic story.  You'll also learn about:  Tips for picking the right rod to use when teaching little kids how to fly fish Why are there so many dry flies for sale when most of a fish's diet is subsurface?

We're not talking about the poetry of a fly cast made by Pete Kutzer, but poetry about fly fishing, some of the well known poets who were fly fishers, and why the appeal of poetry and fly fishing have much in common. My guest, Andrew Grace [29:19], is a published poet and professor of English, and he'll read us some of his own work as well as from poets like Jim Harrison and Chris Dombrowski. It's a real departure from our usual subjects and I hope you enjoy it.    In the Fly Box this week, we get more into our typical nitty-gritty subjects like: Is there a rule of thumb for how long it takes a sinking line to get to a particular depth? Can I fish in lakes with a shorter, softer fiberglass rod? How do I elegantly get the fly line out of my rod before I start casting? I catch trout in Alaska when they are eating eggs behind salmon, but at other times of year I can't catch them on dries or nymphs. Are they not in the same places at other times of year? How many different flies are there in the world?  s there a registry of them? And can they be copyrighted or trademarked? If I can't use gel flotant once my fly has gotten wet, why don't I just use the powder right off the bat and forget about the gel? I heard that when you cast a dry fly, you should pull back a bit at the end of the cast to develop some slack. But can this be executed in a smoother fashion? Why empty my wallet for a Helios rod when the Superfines are so good? What will a Helios do for me that a Superfine won't? Where can I find Hungarian partridge to tie smaller flies like size 16s? Is there a way you mark what line is on what reel so you don't have to use a magnifying glass to look at those tiny line markers? Is there a national registry of fly-fishing clubs?

This is a fun one! In this special episode of Waypoints, Jim Klug is joined by longtime friends and  industry legends Brian O'Keefe and Bryan Gregson for a lively and insightful conversation that dives deep into the roots and the history of flyfishing. What started as a late-night, beer-fueled conversation at a recent consumer show gathering in Denver quickly turned into a bigger realization: many of today's younger anglers — even those who live and breathe the sport — have little to no knowledge of the icons and pioneers who laid the foundation for modern flyfishing. So, we decided to do something about it.This episode was created as a tribute and a history lesson — a fun, freewheeling discussion that shines a light on 30 legendary figures who helped shape the sport as we know it. From influential authors and pioneering guides to gear innovators, conservationists, and destination fishing trailblazers, this episode covers a wide spectrum of personalities who left an undeniable mark on flyfishing during the 20th century. Whether you're a seasoned angler or newer to the game, this one is both entertaining and educational — a must-listen for anyone who cares about the history, evolution, and culture of our sport.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions. The work is the guide, and Patagonia never tires of exploring, learning and improving. Built with innovative materials, intuitive features and a refined fit, their Swiftcurrent® Waders are a better wader experience. Repatterned for bulk reduction, reduced seam stress, increased maneuverability and improved repairability, they move better in and out of the water, carry gear more efficiently and keep tools handy.

This episode is all about breakthroughs. For each of us, as a personal account, what have been the biggest changes, or the biggest steps forward, in our fishing?I call these breakthroughs because they're the landmarks or discoveries or changes, along the way of learning, where we can look back and say, “Now that, really made a big difference.”We talk a lot about a life on the water. And really, each of us here at Troutbitten has fished for most of our lives. And the truth is, it's not really been a hobby or a pastime as much as it's been part of our lives for a long, long time. Fishing fills our thoughts and plans. Other fishermen tend to be our closest friends. All of this means a lot to us.I've written articles and the guys and I have talked about how to stay in the fishing game for a lifetime. And we all agreed that the mystery, the problem solving, that active nature of fishing — of making things happen — rather than a passive way of fishing, has been a main driving force behind our long term interest.And precisely because we're always working on improving, we're often looking for that next big breakthrough — the next tactic, the next style, the next fly, maybe a leader, the influence of a friend, some other piece of gear, some knowledge about the trout themselves, maybe a new river . . . whatever. And I know as I look back on my own years of fishing, I can put my finger on a half dozen landmarks — things that, for me, changed everything.I'm also constantly searching for that next breakthrough. And that's where so much of the enjoyment of fishing begins for me.So these landmarks, or these breakthroughs are surely different for everyone. This is another favorite question I ask of new anglers that I meet. I love hearing their stories. So that's what we're here to do with the Troutbitten guys tonight.We're just here to talk. There's no real tactics here, nothing instructional, just a conversation about some moments in time or the discoveries that have kept us fishing and kept us motivated throughout a life on the water.My friends, Matt Grobe, Bill Dell and Josh Darling join me for a great discussion.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | How To Stay in the Fly Fishing Game for a LifetimePODCAST: Troutbitten | Why We Fish - S13, Ep6VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/
