  • Airing of Grievances?

    C’mon Dom, how can you not temporarily rebrand to Troutbitchin’ for the Airing of Grievances episodes? If you are a fly fisher and are not currently subscribing to this crew’s podcast, you’re missing out. Legit.

  • Love Becky on Intermission Blog

    Loved you and Becky chatting through Season 15 Intermission. Made the entire Troutbitten so real, anchored by a clearly positive working partnership that for me transported Troutbitten from a bunch a fishing buddies to a real Family and a real Family business. Loved your discussion. Of Family matters, kids, history of Troutbitten activity and plans for the future. Thanks for opening up to this close up look of the Troutbitten Family!

  • Politics podcast or fishing?

    Quite sad this turned into a politic podcast and less about fishing. By ‘disliking’ President Trump you lose 51% of your audience.

  • Awesome Podcast

    Listening to this podcast is like talking to your fishing buddies at a camp fire or at the bar over some drinks. I really enjoy the combination of tips/techniques and then general discussion/fishing stories in the different podcast series/seasons. Every episode gives me a new tip or technique to try next time I’m out on the river and a couple really good laughs. Thanks guys for the awesome podcast and keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Streamer Presentations #9 -- The Tight Line Dance
Q: What should I consider when casting upstream as opposed to downstream when streamers look natural?
Bait fish face upstream in their natural state, but an injured fish or one trying to escape would move downstream, so the key is to imitate vulnerability rather than strict realism.
Streamer Presentations #8 -- The Crossover Technique
Q: What do you think about the importance of adapting your strategy based on conditions?
Adapting strategies is crucial since each new fish and piece of water can change preferences; successful anglers find trends in feeding behavior even if adjustments are necessary.
