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/
The trout is prized as a gamefish because it's picky. It's selective. Often, it requires a refined presentation to fool a wild trout. And in large part, that's the draw toward fishing for them.In every region, in every stream, trout habits can differ from others in neighboring watersheds. And across the fishing landscape, we find places and even moments when trout are more picky — more choosy — about what, where and how they want to eat their food.We've all seen fishing change in just a few minutes. We've happened upon bite windows, or periods of time with trout feeding more regularly, where we happen to have the right fly and the right presentation to meet the preferences of those fish. Likewise, we've all had a good thing going, where we're catching trout quickly, and it all just shuts down.So there's a lot to this idea of selectivity.And in this episode, we dig into what makes a trout selective. The quick answer is the theory that angler pressure makes trout more picky. There is no doubt about it. For sure, our fishing, our presentations educate the already picky trout what not eat, where and when.But many other reasons for selectivity are natural. Meaning, they have nothing to do with anglers fishing for trout. These factors, like low water, stable water temperatures and the prevalence of one easy food form, can also make an already picky, tough to catch fish, even tougher.This is a good topic.My friends, Matt Grobe, Dr. Trevor Smith and Austin Dando join me for a great discussion.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Angler Pressure ONE - What it Does to the Fish - S7, Ep1PODCAST: Troutbitten | Angler Pressure TWO- What it Does to the Fishing - S7, Ep2READ: Troutbitten | We Don't Want Easy FishingVisitTroutbitten 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/
We spend a lot of time thinking about tactics and working on techniques. We devote our energies toward finding fly patterns, tying up our confidence flies and testing new flies. We research new waters and explore unfinished sections in familiar waters. We spend a lot of time doing fishy things. This is a life on the water.The guys and I have been talking a lot about reading water. It's one of the biggest deficiencies we see while guiding — just choosing the right piece of a river for your next cast. It's about understanding what water should receive the most attention and what water gets gets a pass.As an angler, reading the water really comes down to understanding what a trout needs. We read water for depth, speed and structure, in reference to what a trout prefers. And when we talk about reading water, we're thinking about it all from an angler's perspective. If you're kayaking down a river for recreation, then how you read water will be pretty different.Everyone can pick out hydraulics and learn to read current seams. Those are the elementary building blocks of reading trout water. Then we take that knowledge and combine it with what a trout needs. And we eventually have a truly specific, knowledgeable approach to reading a river. Day to day, across the world, wherever trout live in rivers, creeks and streams, their needs are the same.My friends, Matt Grobe, Bill Dell, Dr. Trevor Smith and Austin Dando join me for a great discussion.ResourcesVIDEO: Troutbitten | Reading Water in Levels, Lanes and SeamsPODCAST: Troutbitten | Reading Water, and Cherry Picking vs Full Coverage S1, Ep6READ: Troutbitten | Reading Water - Finding the Invisible PotholesVisitTroutbitten 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/
Across the country, there are rivers, creeks and streams stocked by the state, often referred to as put and take (they put trout in, you take them out). And especially early in the season, opportunities for stocked trout can be a solid choice. Other places stock fish under catch and release regs or delayed harvest. Also, some rivers, for various reasons, cannot support wild trout populations and they are entirely reliant on hatchery trout. In other places, it's a mix of wild and stocked.Troutbitten has always been primarily focused on fishing for wild trout. Because most anglers would more often choose a wild or natural experience over a manufactured one. So I use the word, experience, because not only are stocked fish produced or raised in a hatchery, once they're in the river, the experience of fishing for stockies is usually pretty different than fishing for wild trout. And that . . . is what we want to talk about in this conversation.In other podcasts, we've already talked a lot about the value differences between wild vs stocked trout. We've gone through the hierarchy of river trout, as we put it.So upon that foundation, in continuation of those discussions, let's talk about how our approach changes when the trout are stocked and not wild. Let's think about water selection, patterns, strategies, and the other things that make fishing for stocked trout more successful. What changes and what is different compared to targeting wild trout?My friends, Matt Grobe, Bill Dell and Trevor Smith, join me for a great discussion.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Wild vs Stocked - The Hierarchy of River TroutREAD: Troutbitten | When Fishing For Stocked Trout, It May Not Pay to Be AmbitiousREAD: Troutbitten | Natural vs Attractive Presentations - Convinced or Curious VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis

In this second part of the Night Fishing for Trout Skills Series on Troutbitten, we consider light. First the naturals, like moonlight and starlight, then we discuss city lights and other artificials, like our own flashlights and headlamps. Lastly, we'll discuss the use of glow-in-the-dark stuff, like fly lines, indicators and more.I'm joined by my night fishing friends, Austin Dando, Trevor Smith and Josh Darling.Night fishing always comes down to what we can see and what we can't. Of course we use our other senses. And yes, those senses are heightened, and we often rely on feel more than our limited sight in the relative darkness.But it is not pitch black out there, especially when we attain and then preserve good night vision. So we navigate the evening from shadows and outlines, pitching unseen flies beyond the visible perimeter and tracking those flies through the feel of a line in our hand, by sensing the load on our rod tip and by sometimes following something that glows in the dark.Light affects the fishing, but it also affects the fish. And while trout seem to prefer darker nights, they might also feed better with a few stars in the sky for a nightlight.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | Night FishingREAD: Troutbitten | Night Fishing for Trout -- Moonlight, Starlight and City LightREAD: Troutbitten | Night Fishing for Trout -- Headlamps, Flashlights and Glow in the Dark StuffPODCAST: Troutbitten | An Introduction to Night Fishing for Trout -- S3, Ep14VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis

This is our full crew review of dry dropper styles. And it wraps up this Troutbitten Skills Series on dry dropper fishing. Because, as we've seen, what seems like a pretty simple thing — just adding a nymph under a dry fly -- actually creates some complex situations.You can absolutely fish a dry dropper and keep your life easy. Fly fishing does not have to be complicated. So dangling a nymph from a buoyant dry and casting it to the river without much thought will catch trout.But for many of us, the complexities are what keep us interested. Solving problems, seeking answers, understanding a system and tweaking it for the moment is fun. Because those tweaks, those adjustments, make a difference. And when we start catching more trout, when the opportunities increase, we take notice. We learn what good drifts look like — on both the nymph and the dry fly. Then we improve. And that . . . is the simple joy of fishing.My friends, Austin Dando, Bill Dell, Trevor Smith and Josh Darling join me for the fifth and final installment of this Troutbitten Skills Series on dry dropper styles.So remember, the next time someone mentions fishing dry dropper, ask them what style . . . because there's a lot of room for variety.-- -- -- In 2019, I published a full series on these Three Styles of Dry Dropper on the Troutbitten Website. You can find them here:READ: Troutbitten | Three Styles of Dry DropperREAD: Troutbitten | Three Styles of Dry Dropper -- Light Dry DropperREAD: Troutbitten | Three Styles of Dry Dropper -- Standard Dry DropperREAD: Troutbitten | Three Styles of Dry Dropper -- Tight Line Dry DropperThis podcast series is an excellent companion for the article series.Because “fishing dry dropper” can really mean a lot of things.

Versatility is a Troutbitten mantra. It's the way we fish. In fact, it's why we fish a fly rod, because whatever way the trout wish to feed, we can show them flies that represent that food form.And while some anglers hit the river with one thing in mind, with one fly box and one set of tools, it's our ability to adapt, to adjust and modify our approach, that makes a lifetime on the water so interesting. Sure, we focus on our favorite tactics, and we may spend the next half a year just perfecting our dry fly game in tight cover. But once these skills are learned, then knowing that we can throw anything at any time, having a full set of skills at the ready, is a rewarding and enjoyable approach to fly fishing for trout.Pursuing this kind of versatility also keeps us in the game for a lifetime. We are forever working on the next idea, refining new casts and another approach. Eventually, we develop such a facility with these skills that we begin to combine them, breaking free from the common and standard approach and landing on new ways to get a dead drift or move a streamer. Creation becomes the goal. Design becomes our drive. And experimentation leads to more answers that lead to more questions.All of it is our reward for being a versatile angler.But of course, nothing comes easy either. The beginning angler should probably refrain from branching out too much at first. Because too much versatility becomes confusing. It leads to frustration. There are stages. There are tools. There are systems for being versatile on the water. And there's a time for all of it.So that's what we're here to talk about tonight. Here for our season three finale is a full house: Austin Dando, Trevor Smith, Josh Darling, Bill Dell and Matt Grobe.We Cover the FollowingIs versatility the opposite of specialization?Learn it all, then use it allThe fly rod is supremely versatileDo you need a lot of gear to be versatile?What is a versatile fly rodCarrying systemsKnowing when to changeFinding a good reason to changeHave a plan and test itVersatility within one styleHow versatility solves the daily mysteryResourcesREAD Troutbitten | Fly Shop Fluorocarbon Too Expensive?

The home healthcare industry continues to grow fast as baby boomers age and people prefer to stay in their own homes as long as they can. Keeping up with demand is putting a strain on providers, but mobile devices can help. In this podcast Samsung's Trevor Smith explains how.
I've been building the Night Fishing for Trout Series here on Troutbitten for many years. It's an ongoing series of chapters that cover some of what I've learned about trout after dark.But I'm careful with that word “learned.” Sure, I've come a long way in the fifteen years or so that I've spent night fishing. And time on the water has taught me things both by fish in the net and through repeated failure. I've gone through a period of time where I dedicated a few years to night fishing as my primary motivation, fishing after dark at least once a week, even through the winter months, and spending a lot more than that under the dark summer sky.What I've learned is often very different than the stuff that's supposed to work. And then again, some of it matches up pretty well.Then, after over a decade of night fishing as a solitary endeavor I met my friends Josh Darling and Trevor Smith, who join me on this podcast episode. These guys somehow found that same rare drive to search and discover after dark, and it's more than just a passing fad for them. They've dug deeper into the shadows than anyone else I've met. I Iearn from them. They are my trusted fishing friends. Their experience becomes my own. Their reports, their observations, are nearly as valuable as having my own boots in the water. These guys night fish, and they fish hard.So for this podcast episode, our goal is to provide an overview, some kind of path down the lonely, dark and wonderfully mysterious road that is night fishing.We Cover the FollowingMotivationPlacesPlanningMoonlight, Starlight and City LightHeadlights, Flashlights and Glow-in-the-Dark stuffThe tactics of drifting and swingingWater TypesFly TypesBig Trout and Finding the Right LocationsFighting FearAccepting the MysteryThe Rods and LinesResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | Night FishingREAD: Troutbitten | Night Fishing for Trout -- People, Places and ThingsREAD: Troutbitten | Night Fishing for Trout -- Moonlight, Starlight and City LightREAD: Troutbitten | Night Fishing for Trout -- You're Gonna Need a Bigger RopeREAD: Troutbitten | Night Fishing for Trout -- SpacesREAD: Troutbitten | Hell-Hot Sun and the Strawberry MoonVisit:Troutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:AvidmaxUse code TROUT10 for 10% off your cart at AvidmaxandOrvis
So, you know how you see something from far away and it looks really great? It's almost perfect. But if you look a little closer, even from a long distance, you might start to find a few things that aren't quite right. But it's good . . . it's still pretty good.When you get even closer, you notice more problems. And when you've been around it for a long time, you can't help but see many, many things that could be better.Well . . . that's the fly fishing industry.And I don't just mean the companies and the big names either. I mean the whole thing: the full scale, from Instagram hashtags and big internet groups to the few anglers that hang out at your local bar. The industry trends, these habits, these practices — some of them just seem wrong. And the gear, the ads, videos and articles, — a lot of it kind of steers people in the wrong direction.So we thought we'd have a little fun with this and call out as many issues as we can fit into one podcast.Yes, we're here to criticize and complain a bit. But it's all in good fun. And quite honestly, I think most of the things we'll bring up could certainly benefit from a fair dose of constructive criticism. Think of this as a cleansing.

What might commonly be referred to as a junk fly makes its way to the end of my line pretty often. And for certain times of the year, through the summer and through the winter, I lean on junk flies as my go-to staples.But my understanding of junk flies has evolved over time. I get it now. You can't just put any kind of bright, flashy materials on a hook and fool trout. There's a reason why trout eat these flies. And there's a reason why these patterns shine for so long and then fall off at the end of a season. There's also a huge difference between the way stocked trout respond to some junk flies vs the way wild trout respond.We fish junk flies because they are fun. Because trout move to them more than other flies, sometimes. And because we can often see the fly in the water, allowing us to sight fish and learn something different. What is a junk fly? Why and when do they work? These are the questions for this podcast. I'm joined by the Troutbitten crew: Matt Grobe, Josh Darling, Trevor Smith, Bill Dell and Austin Dando.

You can't really learn a river until you've learned to fish. You need some confidence in your skills to cover a section of new water, to fish it well and then walk away with some opinions about what that river holds rather than asking questions about your techniques and decisions.Learning a river comes by dedicating your time. You must give a part of your life to a river to learn it from top to bottom. And yes, it takes seasons on the water just to crack the surface. (And it probably takes a decade or more to crack the code.)But for many of us, for those who live a fly fishing life, who dedicate our free time to pursuing trout and learning the game, the questions that a watershed asks are seductive. Why do you find fewer large trout in the lower island section in the fall? What river conditions are required for trout to move to the shallows and comfortably feed after dark? When should you expect the Sulfur hatch, and are there two sizes or just one?These questions have answers. And the more we fish one waterway, the more details we discover, the more data we enter into a catalog of knowledge about a favorite trout stream.Rivers are an ever-changing, complex ecosystem of life, water and land. They are influenced by weather, surrounding community development and sometimes the anglers themselves. Nothing is static. Nothing is truly predictable. But there's also no denying the habit of trout. And once you spend time wading with these fish, observing their habits and watching how the changes affect their behaviors, then time itself finally stacks in your favor. The observant angler becomes part of that ecosystem. And we begin to predict the paths of trout by instinct.Achieving that level of knowledge is a rare reward. But it is attainable. And the journey toward that knowledge is a respectable pursuit.I'm joined again by the Troutbitten crew, Trevor Smith, Matt Grobe, Bill Dell, and Austin Dando. I can tell you that each of these fishermen know their local waters exhaustively, from to deep to shallow, from bank to bank, winter, spring, summer and fall. They know the rhythms of their waters.

In this episode we Wadeoutthere with Trevor Smith from State College Pennsylvania. Trevor has been fly fishing in Pennsylvania since he was very young. His search for versatility on the river brought him to fly fishing with a hybrid system called the Mono Rig. We discuss the importance of versatility on a trout stream, dry fly fishing with the Mono Rig, and Trevor shares some wonderful insights and stories about the mentors in his fly fishing journey.Trevor joins an experienced and passionate group of anglers in discussions on the Troutbitten Podcast.

Something electric happens when we hook into the fish of the day, the fish of the season or maybe the fish of a lifetime. Our hearts beat faster. The adrenaline pumps because the stakes are raised. This is the fish we've been waiting for, and we don't want to lose the opportunity.And that feeling never fades. Across fishing styles and over the centuries, fishermen are captivated by these big-fish moments. And though the feeling never grows old, our ability to control our response and control the fish using the right moves with the rod, the reel and the line improves. With each loss, we learn the hard way. With each story about the one that got away, we replay our mistakes and plan to avoid the same errors next time.And as we wait, as we hunt for the next big trout, we practice these moves on the average trout. We form good habits for line recovery, for slack management, side pressure, optimal fighting angles and the all-important closing moves of the last ten feet.So, as much as we focus on the intricacies of fly selection, casting technique and drift speed, often, what we remember most is the moment when the biggest trout we've ever seen makes it to our net. It's that conclusion — that happy ending that provides the capstone to so much of our journey.Fighting bigger fish is an equal-parts mix of preparation, instinct and luck. And at least a third of that formula, we're in control of.In this episode, I'm joined by my fishing friends, Trevor Smith, Bill Dell, Austin Dando, Josh Darling and Matt Grobe.We Cover the FollowingThe largest trout we've ever lostForming good habits with smaller troutFighting fish upstreamWorking with a trout and not against itWhere in the water column to fight a troutKnowing the strength of your toolsSide pressureClosing the distance, and the last ten feetResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | Fighting FishREAD: Troutbitten | Category | Big TroutREAD: Troutbitten | Fighting Fish -- The Last Ten FeedREAD: Troutbitten | Fighting Fish -- Work With a Trout and Not Against ItVisit:Troutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:Smith Creekand AvidmaxUse code TROUT10 for 10% off your cart at Avidmax
One of the greatest attractions to fly fishing can also present one of the biggest barriers.It's the bugs.The aquatic insects that make up the bulk of a trout's food base are intriguing, but they're also somewhat mysteriousThe advanced angler explores the nuances of these bugs. Some insects are good swimmers and emerge fast, so a presentation outside of a pure dead-drifted nymph might be the trigger that turns trout on. Likewise, understanding the life cycle of a mayfly helps us realize why seeking out and imitating the spinner stage is one of the best dry fly opportunities on the river.These are the kinds of things to know about trout bugs. This is why we follow the hatches. We pay attention and try to meet the trout on their own terms -- give them more of what they're eating right now.Understanding everything we can about these bugs and how trout respond to them is a big piece of the puzzle that we're trying to solve out there. And sometimes, it's the keystone. Because at certain times, the bug life of a river is the central player in a trout's daily life.In this episode, I'm joined by my fishing friends, Trevor Smith, Bill Dell, Austin Dando, Josh Darling and Matt Grobe.We Cover the FollowingListener question about the sustainability of catch and releaseA walk-through of the major hatches throughout our seasonDifferences from east to west and moreHow mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies and midges differ in their availability to troutWhy spinner falls are such a great opportunityHow the hatches affect our strategy from top to bottomResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | You Don't Have to Match the HatchREAD: Troutbitten | The George Harvey Leader DesignREAD: Troutbitten | Are We Taking the Safety of Trout Too Far?READ: Troutbitten | In Defense of Catching and Counting Fish — Why numbers in the Net MatterVisit:Troutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:Smith Creekand AvidmaxUse code TROUT10 for 10% off your cart at Avidmax
Casting, drifting, swinging and stripping -- everything else is downtime. As Paul said, “Brother, there are no flying fish in Montana” — or anywhere else, for that matter.Flies in the water — that's where we want them. A trout at the end of the line. That's what we're aiming for. But there are seemingly endless tasks required for a fishing trip. And how we approach those chores really defines the way our day will go — simply because our fly is either in the water . . . or it's not.How we prepare the night before, our system for carrying tippet, our strategy for choosing the next fly, and even what we do with the net after releasing a trout — what we do with our time on the water . . . matters. And all of us experience that nagging feeling that something is amiss, that so much more is possible, on those days when we know that we are inefficient.Fly fishing is for the pragmatist. Successful anglers see failure and make the changes to turn it around. And no matter what our natural tendencies — whether we're a neat freak or a slob at home and at work, the river quickly teaches us that the only way forward is through efficiency. So every long term angler that I know becomes efficient, even if they weren't born that way.In this episode, I'm joined tonight by my fishing friends, Trevor Smith, Bill Dell, Austin Dando and Matt Grobe.We Cover the FollowingFinding a system.

Season Three begins with a round-table discussion about fishermen's secrets and what happens when we give up the most sensitive of them -- spot burning.My full panel of fishing buddies is back for this third season: Austin Dando, Trevor Smith, Josh Darling, Bill Dell and now Matt Grobe. We kick off season three with one of the most contentious topics in fly fishing. Holding secrets is human nature. And some of us keep confidential our favorite flies, tactics and more. But when it comes to spots -- locations and where we fish -- discretion is a kindness that we lend to other anglers.Secrets are part of the legacy of fishing. Exploring and locating places that are special to each of us is part of what keeps us coming back. We like to think that we've discovered something that is uncommon or unknown. And we learn that sharing information with the wrong people or in the wrong way can easily destroy a secret by making the uncommon, common.As for spot burning, it's bad because of what it does to other anglers.. Every piece of water is someone else's sweetheart spot. So we refrain from naming names and locations out of respect for everyone else. And if you hear yourself saying, “It's okay because everybody knows about that spot,” think again.That's our take on it.We Cover the FollowingQuestion from a listener regarding knot tying tipsQuestion from a listener regarding the toughest skill in fly tyingTypes of secretsSecret fliesSecret tacticsWhat is spot burningThe negative impact of spot burningNuances of spot burningSharing without sharing too muchThe hypocrisy of secretsRemember, each of these podcasts is always supported by a companion article of the same topic.READ: Troutbitten | Podcast: Secrets and Spot Burning -- S3 Ep1ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | The SecretREAD: Troutbitten | Respect the Spots!
