  • My favorite Podcast

    I love the Troutbitten Podcast and every contributor. Dom is a great guide and friend. I, conservatively, have listened to every one of these podcasts multiple times and have studied the Skill guides. All the episodes are great, but, you absolutely have to make sure you check out the ‘Airing of Grievances’ ones…they are the best thing on the internet when it comes to fly fishing. Seriously, this is the podcast, website and YouTube channel for people that love fly fishing for wild trout.

  • Total game changer!

    The tips, tricks and lessons, heck even the banter between the guys, has been incredibly educating and has seriously upped my fishing game.

    The website has been a constant resource for me, the YouTube videos solidify those lessons and the podcast gets you thinking. I’ve a long way to catch up to the most recent episodes, but I’m loving the journey to it.

    Thank you guys, don’t stop what you’re doing, it really is making a difference.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fly Tying -- Essential Tools and More
Q: Do you have a weight limit that the mono rig can still cast effectively regarding streamers?
The group consensus is that there isn't a strict weight limit; rather, it's about how the streamer behaves on the mono rig and whether it can still cast well.
What Flies Catch Big Trout?
Q: Does the size of flies matter for catching big fish?
Yes, size is often crucial when targeting larger trout.
The Blue Liner's Bible -- Nymphs On Small Streams
Q: Would your techniques change if the small stuff was more open?
The root of what we're talking about wouldn't change; aiming for tight targets and staying stealthy is still important.
Gear Fixes
Q: How much money do you think it takes to get into trout fishing on the fly?
The startup cost could range from $300 to $500, depending on the equipment and whether you're crafty enough to find used gear.
Streamer Presentations #9 -- The Tight Line Dance
Q: How do you fish streamers differently if trout are targeting leeches or crayfish?
While leeches and crayfish are part of the equation, the movements of the streamer can often imitate various baitfish without needing strict imitations, so it's more about the action of the fly than the exact representation.
