Troutbitten on the Unhooked Podcast

by | May 2, 2021 | 2 comments

I was pleased to be one of Spencer Durrant‘s first guests on his new Unhooked podcast. We talked back in late March, and the conversation is now published and live. (Links are at the end of this article.)

Spencer Durrant is a long time guide and author in the fly fishing industry. I’ve read much of his work through the years, so I happily agreed to the discussion.

It’s a casual conversation of about an hour. We talk about some of the differences between our fishing regions, how and why trout are more selective in certain places, and finding the balance between the pursuit of knowledge vs a pure enjoyment on the river.

You can find Episode 2 of Spencer Durrant: Unhooked at the links below:

Thanks again to Spencer for a great conversation.

Fish hard, friends.

 

Enjoy the day.

Central Pennsylvania

Hi. I’m a father of two young boys, a husband, author, fly fishing guide and a musician. I fish for wild brown trout in the cool limestone waters of Central Pennsylvania year round. This is my home, and I love it. Friends. Family. And the river.

PODCAST: Doing the Opposite – S21, Ep1 (VIDEO and AUDIO)

My friends are here with me to begin season twenty-one with a conversation about doing the opposite. Because if you’re struggling out there on the water, if the net hasn’t been wet in a while and the trout seem to disagree with everything you suggest, then maybe you should do the opposite.

To quote Jerry Seinfeld’s advice to George . . . “If every instinct you have is wrong, the opposite would have to be right.”

UPDATE ON EVENT: The Troutbitten Film Festival

UPDATE ON EVENT: The Troutbitten Film Festival

Troutbitten is hosting a Film Festival at New Trail Brewing Company in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and we want you to be there. We’ll gather to share fishing stories, a few beers and good times. The event will feature door prizes with gear from many of the best companies in the fly fishing world, and we’ll have awards for some of the selected films.

The Troutbitten Film Festival features genuine experiences. It’s about the woods and the water. It’s about wild places. It’s about the friendships and stories we all collect from a life on the water. It’s not about exotic locations. It’s not a big fish contest or a big camera contest. If you’re resourceful, you can create something beautiful and endearing for the Troutbitten Film Festival with your iPhone.

PODCAST: Fighting Big Fish #4 – Planning, Positioning and The Fighting Stance – S20, Ep4 (VIDEO and AUDIO)

Fighting trout in a river, creek or stream is all about the currents. So for this episode of our seven part skills series on fighting big fish, we talk about fighting fish upstream, downstream or across. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each angle? And what about current depth? Should we aim to fight the fish in the lower, middle or top part of the water column? And finally, we talk about the fighting zones in a river, meaning, what types of water are a safe choice for fighting the biggest trout of your life?

What do you think?

  1. Its interesting how upset the WEstern guides get when they experience fishing around other people. That is totally a representative of the population in their areas, and the cause of so many of our crowded streams. You didn’t even get into the water rights issues which affect Easter waters more than in the West. You have to get him fishing in your waters and have the two of you do a follow up show. Of course, you should fish his waters with him also.
