Podcasts about Trout

Stop burning boat gas! You'd be shocked at how many redfish and trout honey holes you fly right on by as you leave the ramp or marina. Listen in as we share some real-life examples on how to find these spots. Tight lines!

This Troutbitten Skills Series and these platforms are an effort to pass along the idea that fly selection doesn't have to be regimented or complicated. Instead, see flies for what they have in common. Find their similarities rather than their differences. Choose the elements that matter most to you. Find the components of a fly that create enough of a distinction to be the keys to a platform, and build around that idea.I do think some things are undeniable, and almost every angler is going to classify a parachute the same way. That might be true for upright hackles and down wings too.But I'm sure you've noticed that the further we got into this season, the less specific each platform became. And again, that's just because there are only so many things you can put on a dry fly and still have it be successful.Most of the more recent flies designed take their cues from what came before them. Honestly, I assume that will hold true going into the future too.My friends Bill Dell, Austin Dando and Matt Grobe join me for the conclusion of Season 18.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fishing Dry Flies - Dry Fly Skills Series  (S12)VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks 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/

Spring is starting to show up along the Alabama Gulf Coast, and with it comes some of the most exciting seasonal fishing patterns of the year. In this week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry checks in with guides and anglers across the region to break down what's happening on the water right now. Captain Bobby Abruscato of A-Team Fishing reports that speckled trout are beginning their seasonal transition out of the rivers as water temperatures climb into the low 60s. While many fish are staging near the mouths of tidal rivers, some of the biggest trout are still holding farther up the system on shallow flats and channel edges. Over on the beach and pier scene, Sean Lawless of The Lawless Tide shares a strong sheepshead report from Gulf State Park Pier, where anglers are catching fish from shallow sections all the way to the end of the pier. Ghost shrimp on small jigheads have been especially effective, often outperforming traditional baits like fiddler crabs and live shrimp. Captain Ben Knight with Great Southern Fishing Charters adds that the sheepshead spawn is firing up around passes, bridges, and jetties along the coast, with big fish staging on nearshore structure. He also discusses nighttime redfish opportunities around dock lights and bridges, along with a few important reminders about fishing etiquette and responsible harvest during these seasonal congregations. If you're planning a trip to the Alabama coast this week, this episode will help you understand where the fish are moving, what they're eating, and how to take advantage of one of the most dynamic fishing periods of the year.

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya covers a classic March transition with updates from the surf, inshore, offshore, and the boating scene. This episode features Justin Reed on the Pensacola to Navarre surf bite, Jim Cox on The Wharf Boat and Yacht Show in Orange Beach, Capt. Blake Nelson on Destin trout and redfish, and Capt. Tyler Massey on Pensacola offshore action. The common thread is that things are improving, but most fisheries are still just on the edge of their full spring pattern. Joe starts with Justin Reed of Justin Reed Fishing for a surf report focused on pompano. Justin says there were a few better days leading up to the full moon, but the bite has been inconsistent since, with redfish, whiting, and catfish filling in while anglers wait for the real run to kick off. He explains why late March into early April still looks like the better window and shares how he staggers baits across the beach to find where fish are traveling. Next, Joe checks in with Jim Cox for a preview of The Wharf Boat and Yacht Show, set for March 20 through 22 at The Wharf in Orange Beach. Jim breaks down what makes the show special, from in-water boats and yachts to hundreds more on land, along with why boat show season can be a great time to compare models and find real buying incentives. From there, Joe talks with Capt. Blake Nelson of Last Cast Charters in Destin about an inshore bite centered on trout and redfish. Blake explains how fish are using creek mouths, bayous, and nearby flats based on food and conditions, and he shares why popping corks with live shrimp and weedless soft plastics are good tools right now. To wrap, Capt. Tyler Massey of Hot Spots Fishing Charters gives an offshore report centered on vermilion snapper and triggerfish. Tyler explains how to find better triggerfish on smaller structure, how he distinguishes vermilions and triggers on the machine, and why April should bring more Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, and other spring opportunities.

I'm joined by Jason Renfro this week. We discuss his start to fishing whilst looking for cheaper hobbies, fishing with his kids, working in a fly shop, the desire to teach and instructing, the benefits of smaller scale communities, friendship, getting more out of the fly fishing journey, not being left handed, and so much more.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by Kirk Olson, to dive into the intricacies of our Driftless trout streams! Kirk is a Wisconsin DNR Inland Waters Fisheries Biologist covering Crawford, La Crosse, Monroe, & Vernon counties. The guys discuss what makes the water quality so good in these streams, why types of data Kirk and his team try to gather and how, how streams are chosen to have restoration work done on them, the importance of conservation groups like Trout Unlimited, biggest fish found while electrofishing and the types of habitat they're found, future trout research projects, and lots more! If you want to learn more about the inner workings of our trout streams, this episode is for you!   Huge thanks to Kirk for coming on the show!

Seth Troutt examines what authentic masculinity looks like and exposes the cultural myth of "toxic masculinity." Through a practical pyramid model, Troutt unpacks the character traits that define genuine manhood, starting with the foundational truth that men are not God. He challenges the prevailing cultural narrative, arguing that what society calls "toxic masculinity" is actually anemic masculinity an absence of true virtue rather than an excess. Learn the biblical framework for male strength, humility, and leadership.

It's time for the big-meal dry fly platform: hoppers and stoneflies.When we open our fly boxes, we're looking for a solution. If trout are sipping tiny olives in a soft tailout, we probably reach for the low-riding, vulnerable look of a Comparadun or a Parachute. And if we see trout slashing at hovering, skittering Grannoms in a riffle, we probably choose an Elk Hair Caddis or similar.But what do we pick when the trout food is bigger — when trout are eating hoppers, stoneflies, cicadas or other big bugs on the surface that are twenty times the size of a Blue Winged Olive? Those trout aren't looking for snacks. They're hunting for dinner — for the main course. And we need a platform or a style to match the moment.The hoppers and stoneflies platform is a major departure from the delicate mayfly imitations we've covered in this series. This platform isn't about perfectly matching the wing of a Hendrickson or the subtle flutter of an October Caddis. It's about presenting a substantial, high-calorie meal that gets attention. Whether it's a Golden stonefly clipping across the hoppy water of a bouldered run, or an unlucky grasshopper blown onto the surface from a grassy bank, these are not subtle bugs. They make a splash. They struggle. And in the best moments, they draw explosive strikes.With this platform, we substitute subtlety for buoyancy. Hackle is traded in for rubber legs, and dubbing is often replaced by closed-cell foam. In this episode, we break down this big-meal platform. We'll look at a parts list, cover some pros and cons about material choices, and look at the particulars of the platform itself.My friend, Matt Grobe, joins me for a detailed look at another of our favorite dry fly platforms.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | What's the Deal With Emergers?

A rare Ian Street match diary from Newport. Not in the happiest circumstances, or with the happiest of match reports, but there's some laughter and joy along the way as we hear from Dave, Iwan, Fin (from Maeve), Jack and Ed about the home loss to Colchester (as well as Dave & Ed's match report on the midweek win over Tranmere).Do check out our shiny new website and drop us a line on the socials if you have anything to tell us, including feedback on our new theme tune (the original 1973 recording of Run Lads, Shoot Lads). Thanks as ever to the Riverside Sports Bar for their support of the pod.Not yet sure of the plan for next weekend. We may have a Barnet match report, or we may offer up some alternative bonus content for a bit of fun... But until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County.

In this Riverside episode, I share an article that I published a few years ago, title, The Order of Everything. I also share some Troutbitten updates about my upcoming book, about the Troutbitten Shop, about the live podcast on March 28th at New Trail Brewing Company and the Troutbitten film festival happening later this year, in October. There's an order to everything to keep this Troutbitten project moving forward, and the work of these first weeks of 2026 had me thinking about one of my favorite concepts for a day on the water . . .A lot goes into a good fishing trip. It's a flexible framework of pieces and parts mixed in with a little fortuitous intuition. That first trout to the net is rarely luck. And when you start to lose count of how many fish have come to hand, you can be sure that luck has had very little to do with it. The overarching principles of how to catch a trout — the headers of the outline — are these:Find TroutDon't spook themHave a Solid PresentationChoose a Reasonable PatternFight Fish FastFor me, when the day is tough, if it's lunchtime and I haven't yet touched a fish, if I'm losing faith in my strategy and I'm wishing more than fishing, I often gather my wits around this checklist of five.Here's the full article:READ: Troutbitten | The Order of EverythingThe LIVE PodcastAlso, Tickets are on sale for the Live Podcast on March 28th at New Trail Brewing in Williamsport, PA.BUY TICKETS HEREVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks 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/

Spring is here, creating great fly fishing opportunities! Well, almost. The forecast calls for a warm up over the next 10 days. Discover The post March Fly Fishing: Appalachian Brook Trout, Smallmouth & Spring Hatches appeared first on The View From Harry's Window - A Fly Fishing Blog.

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya tees up an early spring transition with three quick-hit conversations—plus a reminder on the Emerald Coast Boat & Lifestyle Show in Panama City Beach (March 6–8 at Aaron Bessant Park by Pier Park) for anyone ready to stop guessing and start stepping on boats. Joe starts inshore with Capt. Evan Wheeler of Tall Pines Tight Lines in the Pensacola area to break down "messy middle" fishing: persistent negative tides, low water, and fronts that don't always reset fish into a clean winter pattern. Evan explains what to hunt for on tough days (birds, bait, and depth changes near warming water), why slowing down and changing cadence can flip the switch on trout, and the simple gear approach he leans on in spring—20 lb braid with leader choices that match the lure and strike intensity. Next, Joe checks in with Capt. Harris Scruggs of Triple B Fishing out of Panama City on spring-break nearshore trips targeting triggerfish and vermilion snapper, with better beeliners showing on wreck edges. Harris shares the key triggerfish tip: fish your way down, watch for subtle "slow-down" bites on the drop, and get tight fast—plus when lighter hooks and smaller baits help clients actually stick fish. To wrap, Blake Hunter of Reel30A says pompano are on the cusp, with big fish showing before the schools, and stresses that right now success is about beach structure—especially finding a productive hole or depression and soaking baits in the right water. He points to late March into early April as a prime window for the best odds along the Emerald Coast.   Sponsors: Emerald Coast Boast & Lifestyle Show Dixie Supply and Baker Metal Killerdock Coastal Connection EXP Realty AFTCO SlipSki Solutions Black Buffalo Hilton's Realtime Navigator

A dry fly emerger is one that has part of the fly underneath the surface. It's a highly effective form (meaning tout eat it) because it matches the most vulnerable state of things that trout see.In this episode we cover the dry fly platform of emergers. We look at what they are, how and why to use them and the differences in styles within this platform. We cover some history about how emerger design got to this point and what the future might hold.Once the emerger platform really caught on in the fly fishing world, I'd say it has almost replaced many of the traditional, more high riding patterns as the average flies in the average angler's box. Maybe that's just my perception, but there's no doubt, emergers are more popular than ever, and new ideas and turns of thread keep pushing the concept further.My good friend, Austin Dando, joins me for a thorough look at another of our favorite dry fly platforms.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | What's the Deal With Emergers?

We sit with Indigenous Pueblo angler Norman Maktima. Norman grew up in Pecos, just outside Santa Fe, fishing the Pecos River with his father, a place that shaped both his angling and his identity as a descendant of the Pueblos of San Felipe, Laguna, and Hopi. He's been immersed in fly fishing since childhood, splitting time between the water and the vise, and by 1997 he was already guiding for High Desert Angler and earning a spot on Team USA's Youth Fly Fishing Team. Since then, he's built an elite competitive career with international medals, a U.S. National Championship title, and appearances at world championships across Europe and North America. Today, Norman designs signature flies for Umpqua, runs NMaktima Fly Fishing featuring Pueblo-inspired designs - he guides on the San Juan River, and coaches the U.S. Women's Fly Fishing Team, which recently took Team Gold along with individual Gold and Silver at the World Championships. Beyond competition, he's deeply committed to teaching and sharing knowledge, especially within Indigenous communities, using fly fishing as a way to connect culture, water, and opportunity.

Dr. Beckett responds to criticism he heard on other shows by sharing context from the selection process. He explains the list is tied to the 2026 Topps flagship baseball product and will appear as redemption cards, which influenced a bias toward base/flagship sets and excluded other Topps brands like Bowman, Stadium Club, and Heritage. Beckett notes the panel was made up largely of industry insiders, likely underweighting youth and traditional collectors, and suggests vintage and 1952 Topps were naturally emphasized. He comments on Sy Berger's legacy possibly affecting Willie Mays' ranking, addresses the prominence of the $1M Paul Skenes card as a landmark Fanatics-era marketing moment, explains differing definitions of “iconic,” and argues some stars' most iconic cards aren't Topps (e.g., Griffey, Jeter, Mattingly). He also says the top 12 included 2011 Trout and 1985 McGwire USA, and calls for more transparency in the voting process.   00:45 Why It Ties to 2026 Flagship 01:09 Panel Context and Brand Limits 01:43 Sy Berger and 1952 Topps Bias 02:23 Industry List vs Hobby List 02:53 The Skenes Card Debate 03:29 What Makes a Card Iconic 03:59 Rookie Card Mismatches 04:22 Top 12 Idea and Missing Picks 04:40 Voting Process Transparency

The down wing dry fly style is a perfect match for one of the most ubiquitous insects found in trout rivers across the planet: caddis. The down wing platform is also a first choice for matching many terrestrials, like moths and hoppers, and it finds it's way to stonefly patterns as well.But for this discussion, we cover the down wing and its progression into fly boxes, by looking at three standouts: the Elk Hair Caddis, the X-Caddis and the CDC & Elk. Because the arrival of each of these patterns brought forth major innovations to the world of dry flies. All three of these are down wings, but they are very different players on the water.The down wing, like all of these dry fly platforms, is a structural philosophy. There are reasons for having a wing that lays flat rather than stands up. The down wing is a canvas to be creative with. It starts with a wing that angles back.  Then, materials used for the undercarriage dictate how the fly behaves on the surface, along with where, when and how we expect trout to respond.My good friend, Bill Dell, joins me for a thorough look at another of our favorite fly platforms.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fishing Dry Flies - Dry Fly Skills Series  (S12)VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks 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/

Gore's iconic statue is no longer with-trout a name.The brown trout statue has been proudly leaping in the Southland town since 1989 after being locally designed, built and fundraised. Tess Brunton reports.

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya delivers a winter "real report" across the Panhandle with three key conversations: surf fishing, boat-show season, and a tough-but-producible inshore bay bite. On the surf side, Joe talks with Justin Reed of Justin Reed Fishing about February slowdowns and how to prep for spring—favorite rod lengths (9–10' vs 12'), why he likes 5000-size reels for torque, and must-have surf tackle like Sputnik sinkers, pompano rigs, and sand fleas. They also preview boat season with Jim Cox in an Emerald Coast Boat & Lifestyle Show rundown, covering what to expect at the show, why seeing boats in person matters, and the coastal-lifestyle vendors and seminars that make it a full family event. To wrap, Joe checks in with Justin Leake of Panama City Inshore on winter inshore fishing—focusing on protected bayous and deeper creeks for trout and redfish, using suspending jerkbaits to locate fish, and leaning on live shrimp when the bite gets picky as water temps start creeping toward spring.   Sponsors: Dixie Supply and Baker Metal Killerdock Coastal Connection EXP Realty AFTCO SlipSki Solutions Black Buffalo Hilton's Realtime Navigator

En el programa de hoy, como os prometí, hablaré de casos, en torno a crímenes históricos donde la figura de la víctima, a través de sueños, visiones o presuntas manifestaciones sobrenaturales parece influir decisivamente en el curso de la justicia. I. El caso de Elva Zona Heaster. Condado de Greenbrier, 1897 La primera historia nos traslada a Appalachia, Virginia Occidental, en el año 1897. Elva Zona Heaster, nace aproximadamente entre 1873 y 1876, hija de Mary Jane Heaster, una mujer de carácter firme y profundamente protectora. Zona arrastraba un estigma social considerable: hacia 1895 había dado a luz a un hijo fuera del matrimonio, cuyo padre fue identificado como George Woldridge. En una comunidad rural profundamente conservadora, esa circunstancia la colocaba en una posición social vulnerable. El niño fue dado en adopción o falleció en la infancia, los registros no son concluyentes, pero el peso moral de aquel hecho marcó su reputación. En octubre de 1896, llega al condado un herrero llamado Erasmus Stribbling Shue, apodado “Trout”. Era un hombre con antecedentes inquietantes: un primer matrimonio terminado en abandono, un segundo con Lucy Ann Tritt, fallecida en circunstancias poco claras, y posteriormente una condena por robo de caballos que lo llevó a prisión durante dos años. Apenas semanas después de conocerse,, Zona y Shue contraen matrimonio. La madre de la joven manifiesta un rechazo visceral hacia el nuevo esposo, intuyendo algo oscuro en su carácter. El sábado 23 de enero de 1897, el joven Anderson Jones, de 11 años, encuentra el cuerpo de Zona tendido al pie de las escaleras. Sus ojos abiertos, una mancha de sangre, postura rígida. Cuando el Dr. George W. Knapp examina el cuerpo, observa detalles extraños, pero realiza una inspección superficial. Shue había lavado el cadáver, lo había vestido y había envuelto su cuello con un pañuelo rígido y un velo atado firmemente bajo la barbilla. La causa inicial de muerte se certifica como “desmayo eterno” y luego “complicaciones del embarazo”. El funeral se celebra al día siguiente. Varios testigos notan algo perturbador: la cabeza de Zona parece moverse con excesiva soltura cuando el ataúd es tocado. Durante semanas, Mary Jane Heaster afirma haber sido visitada por la aparición de su hija. Según su testimonio, la joven le describe con precisión la violencia ejercida sobre su cuello y relata una discusión doméstica relacionada con la cena. Convencida, Mary Jane acude al fiscal del condado, John Alfred Preston. En la autopsia, realizada posteriormente se descubre que el cuello estaba dislocado, la tráquea aplastada y los ligamentos desgarrados. Shue es arrestado ese mismo día. II. El Crimen del Granero Rojo – Polstead, Suffolk (1827-1828) La segunda parte nos traslada a Polstead, Suffolk, Inglaterra, en la década de 1820. Maria Marten, nace el 24 de julio de 1801, era hija de Thomas Marten* un humilde cazador de topos. Tras la muerte de su madre Grace, fue criada por su madrastra Ann Marten. Maria era considerada atractiva, pero su belleza no le aseguró estabilidad social. Quedó embarazada de Peter Matthews, quien mantuvo económicamente al hijo, Thomas Henry Marten. A los 25 años, Maria era vista en la aldea como una “mujer caída”, marcada por la ilegitimidad de sus hijos. En 1826, entra en escena William Corder. Desde joven fue considerado problemático y manipulador. Comienza una relación con Maria que promete matrimonio y escape del estigma social. En 1827, la pareja planea huir juntos. William propone encontrarse en el llamado Granero Rojo (Red Barn), una construcción aislada de ladrillo rojizo en las afueras del pueblo. María desaparece. La madrastra de Maria comienza a tener sueños perturbadores en los que ve a la joven enterrada bajo el suelo del Granero Rojo. La insistencia de estos sueños genera inquietud familiar. II. El caso de Frederick Fisher La última historia nos traslada a la colonia penal de Nueva Gales del Sur, en 1826, concretamente a la región rural de Campbelltown. Frederick Fisher era un exconvicto inglés que había sido transportado a Australia por delitos relacionados con falsificación. Tras cumplir su condena, logró establecerse como agricultor en Campbelltown, donde adquirió tierras y ganado. Con el tiempo, se convirtió en un hombre económicamente estable y respetado dentro de la comunidad local. En una colonia donde muchos eran antiguos presidiarios intentando reconstruir su vida, Fisher representaba un ejemplo de reinserción exitosa. No era un hombre especialmente sociable, pero sí trabajador y metódico. Entre sus conocidos más cercanos se encontraba George Worrall, vecino y colaborador en algunos asuntos comerciales. La relación entre ambos es cordial, basada en la confianza práctica propia de una comunidad pequeña donde la cooperación era esencial. En junio de 1826, Fisher desaparece repentinamente. Worrall informa a los vecinos que su amigo había regresado a Inglaterra, o que había sido citado por las autoridades por problemas legales. Lo extraño es que Fisher no había liquidado sus propiedades ni arreglado formalmente sus asuntos financieros. Su ganado y tierras quedaron, de facto, bajo administración de Worrall. Un agricultor local, John Farley, afirma haber visto una figura sentada sobre la baranda de un puente cercano a Campbelltown, conocido como el puente sobre Fisher’s Creek. La figura le resultó reconocible: aseguraba que era Frederick Fisher. Farley no describió una visión difusa o espectral en términos melodramáticos; según el relato recogido, la figura parecía sólida, silenciosa, inmóvil. Lo inquietante era su expresión. En un primer momento, Farley dudó de su propia percepción. Sin embargo, la visión se repitió. La figura parecía señalar o dirigir la atención hacia un punto específico del terreno cercano al arroyo. El magistrado de la zona, Grafton Eliott Smith, tomó en consideración el testimonio. Se organizó una inspección en el área señalada, cerca del arroyo. Worrall fue arrestado y acusado formalmente. El hecho de que la localización del cuerpo estuviera asociada al testimonio de una aparición convirtió el caso en uno de los primeros grandes relatos sobrenaturales documentados en la historia australiana. Con el tiempo, la historia sería conocida como “Fisher’s Ghost”, integrándose en el folclore nacional y dando origen a festivales conmemorativos en Campbelltown. Escúchame en iVoox.

This week on the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, Captain Tanner Deas fills in and checks in offshore with Captain Chris Vecsey for a trip that turned into a serious meat haul. What started as a tuna plan shifted to targeting a strong temp break near the Spur, where they boxed three solid wahoo on deep-diving plugs. After the troll slowed down, they pivoted again and quickly hooked up on swordfish in 1,500-plus feet, landing a 100-pound-class fish and proving the value of reading electronics and staying flexible. Inshore, Captain Richard Rutland breaks down a strange, dry winter that has left fish scattered and inconsistent across Mobile Bay and the rivers. Trout have been keyed in on smaller-profile baits like the Slick Junior, with subtle retrieves and lighter jig heads outperforming bigger, flashier presentations. They also talk about how slick-calm days can make shallow fish spooky, why a little wind can help, and how the bull redfish bite on the south end of the bay has been heating up. From pelagic pivots offshore to fine-tuning winter trout patterns inshore, this episode is all about adjusting on the fly. If you're fishing this warm trend and trying to stay ahead of changing conditions, there's plenty here to sharpen your approach.

Gore's famous giant brown trout statue is angling for an official name. The scuplture, made by a local artist and captured mid-leap, has proudly stood in the so called trout capital of New Zealand for almost 40 years. It's finally getting a name as part of a compeittion to promote the town's "On the fly festival" on the Mataura River. Gore District Council senior events co-ordinator Florine Potts spoke to Lisa Owen.

#881 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/881 Presented By: San Juan Rodworks, Fly Fish with me Utah, FishHound Expeditions Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Stillwater fly fishing rewards anglers who focus on presentation, depth, and efficiency rather than constantly changing flies. In this episode, Phil Rowley sits down with England's Howard Croston — former world champion, longtime England team member, Hardy product developer, and Fulling Mill fly designer — to unpack the tactical decisions that consistently put trout in the net. From reading unfamiliar lakes and understanding stocked fish behavior to leader diameter, drift control, and eliminating "myths" about fly color, Howard explains how competition fishing sharpens efficiency and forces anglers to focus only on what truly matters. The result is a practical, systems-based approach any stillwater angler can apply immediately. #881 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/881

The parachute platform is our favorite style of dry fly and the favorite of many other anglers, because of its utility. Because it form is functional. Because it casts well, lands upright and keeps floating, even though heavy water. It fools picky trout and looks enough like an emerger and a spinner that you might get away with one fly, all the way through cycle. It's a great dry-dropper fly, it's easily adaptable. And perhaps its best quality . . . you can see the parachute post.For all of those reasons, the Parachute dry fly platform is close to perfection.My good friend, Austin Dando, joins me for a thorough look into the Parachute.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fishing Dry Flies - Dry Fly Skills Series  (S12)VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks 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/

In this episode of the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry delivers a wide-ranging look at winter fishing conditions along the northern Gulf Coast, touching on everything from offshore tuna runs to inshore redfish, sheepshead, and the ongoing struggle to pattern speckled trout. The show opens with a candid offshore report from Captain Brandon Collier, who details a long run on the Blackjack in pursuit of yellowfin tuna that turned into a battle with heavy boat pressure and overwhelming numbers of sharks. Although tuna were clearly present and feeding early, Collier explains how timing, crowding, and shark activity made landing a fish nearly impossible, forcing a pivot to bottom fishing on natural structure. That plan B paid off with lane snapper, porgies, and tilefish, along with a useful breakdown of how to identify productive bottom using electronics, zoom settings, and life marks before ever dropping bait. The conversation shifts inshore as Collier shares a bright spot in an otherwise tough winter, describing memorable sight-fishing trips for bull redfish and black drum along shallow flats and barrier island shorelines. Using clear water, sunshine, and elevation from kayaks, towers, or even drones, he explains how spotting dark shapes and schools is often more important than worrying about tide or temperature. He also breaks down finesse presentations with buoyant soft plastics that can be dead-sticked in shallow water, triggering bites even when anglers aren't actively working the lure. At the same time, he doesn't sugarcoat the current speckled trout bite, describing a frustrating pattern of short strikes, slaps, and non-committal fish that seem more reactive than hungry, often forcing anglers to rely on jerkbaits and treble-hook lures to convert bites. Later in the episode, Drew Giles checks in with a detailed sheepshead report, focusing on how persistent wind, low tides, and dirty water have pushed anglers to adapt. Giles explains why clean water remains the key ingredient, even if it means fishing outside the Delta or tucking in tight to protected structure near shore. He walks through subtle but important rigging adjustments, like switching from heavy jig heads to split shots and mosquito hooks to reduce hang-ups on oyster bottoms and submerged timber, while still keeping baits in the strike zone. The discussion highlights how current movement, even more than temperature, drives sheepshead feeding behavior, and why anglers should be willing to move frequently rather than grind unproductive spots. The episode wraps with Captain Shane Traylor offering a deep dive into how he's leaning on electronics to stay effective during one of the most confusing trout seasons in recent memory. Trailer explains how side scan and down imaging help him locate bait, structure, and tightly packed "football-shaped" fish marks before making a cast, especially when trout slide into deeper channels during prolonged cold snaps. He breaks down jig weights, fall rates, and bottom-oriented presentations that keep lures in front of lethargic fish, along with how he transitions from trout to redfish and sheepshead around docks, cut banks, and barnacle-covered pilings when trout refuse to cooperate. Altogether, the episode delivers an honest, boots-on-the-deck snapshot of winter fishing on the Gulf Coast, emphasizing adaptability, observation, and having a solid plan B when conditions or fish refuse to play along.

My guest this week is Orvis-endorsed guide Joe Garza [32:54], a guide from JAG Fly Fishing, who explains the intricacies of still water trout fishing. He discusses common mistakes that anglers make, the importance of understanding food sources, and the need for patience in still water environments. Joe shares insights on matching fly profiles and colors to natural food, as well as effective techniques for using indicators. The conversation emphasizes the unique challenges of still water fishing compared to moving water, providing valuable tips for both novice and experienced anglers. He shares his extensive knowledge on fly fishing in still waters, focusing on techniques such as the hand twist retrieve, effective casting, and the importance of proper hook setting. He emphasizes the significance of maintaining tension in the line and understanding fish behavior, particularly in relation to external factors like weather and water temperature.  In the Fly Box this week we have a lot of questions about tackle and winter reading, including: Is "Sinking Gel" for nymph fishing a waste of money? What is the difference between the 7'1/2 foot 3-weight Superfine Graphite and the 7 ½ foot 3-weight Superfine Glass rods? Is there a book you recommend on trout biology? Are there some books you recommend on learning about hatches? Can you explain the differences between your three books:  Reading Trout Streams, Finding Trout, and Prospecting for Trout? How do manufacturers set the line recommendations for their fly reel models? I am 6-feet, 2 inches tall. Does that mean where most people would recommend a 10-foot rod that I should get a 9-foot rod? What three fly lines would you recommend for a wide variety of fish in fresh and salt water? What fly patterns do I need to imitate the gigantic Cantaria beetle in Chile?

Season 18 is a unique look at dry fly styles, through the concept of platforms. By taking a fly shape, a form or a set of materials, we can adapt the elements like color, wing style, tailing material or hackle length to meet the moment. Within the fly platform, we vary its properties to the river conditions or to a specific hatch.In this seven part Skills Series for season 18, we cover these six dry fly platforms:1: Upright Hackles2: Parachutes3. Comparaduns4. Down Wings5. Hoppers and Stoneflies6. EmergersThis first episode looks at the platform of Upright Hackles. A classic Catskill style, like the Adams, is a perfect example of this platform. Both slimmer and beefier versions are common, each of which are adapted to prioritize the selectivity of the trout or the buoyancy of the fly against heavier currents.Upright Hackles are perhaps the most common dry fly style, and many popular patterns fit into this platform.In this episode, we look at the specifics for hook, tail, body, wing and hackle for our first platform in this Skills Series -- the Upright Hackle.This is a great breakdown and a fun conversation with my friend Austin Dando.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fishing Dry Flies - Dry Fly Skills Series  (S12)VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks 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/

In this episode of the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry is joined in the studio by Dylan Kiene and welcomes Gabe Tidmore and Captain Matt Swiggum for a deep dive into the recent Winter Classic tournament and the challenging winter conditions along Alabama's coast. The conversation centers on how rapidly changing weather, strong winds, and dramatic water level swings reshaped fish positioning from one day to the next, forcing anglers to constantly adapt their game plans. Much of the discussion focuses on how trout and redfish behaved during the event, why bites were often subtle or resulted in short strikes, and how pressure and unstable conditions made even well-scouted areas difficult to fish consistently. The group breaks down practical lessons learned on the water, including the importance of slowing presentations, adjusting cadence, and experimenting with lure profiles when fish refuse to fully commit. They compare notes on what worked across different parts of the system, from deeper 10–12 foot holding areas to shallow structure affected by wind-driven current. Lure selection, color confidence, and profile changes all come into play, with anglers explaining how they rotated baits to trigger reaction strikes while avoiding overworking schools during scouting and tournament hours. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to tournament strategy, including managing five-fish bags, knowing when to stay put versus when to move, and how the Winter Classic's staggered flight system added an extra layer of planning to each day. The anglers also share hard-earned insights on electronics use, reading bait behavior, and recognizing when fish are present but simply not feeding. The show wraps with a detailed discussion on fish care and livewell management, highlighting how proper salinity, aeration, and additives can make the difference between losing fish and earning valuable live-fish bonuses. Overall, the episode delivers a candid, experience-driven look at winter tournament fishing and offers plenty of actionable takeaways for anglers dealing with cold fronts, high winds, and finicky coastal fish.
