The Troutbitten guys and I sit down to share a few stories — moments and experiences — from a life on the water.

There’s no layout for this episode and not much direction other than to share some of the remarkable things that have happened to us while fishing — the things we’ve seen, places we’ve been and the stuff that has happened, simply because we were there, on the river, with a fly rod in our hand.

From the beginning, Troutbitten has been about tactics, sure, but also about the experiences. It’s always been a balance between the two, across all the channels, the videos, the podcasts, the website and social media.

It’s the tactics that keep me interested and motivated to get out there day after day. It’s that refinement of technique and the endless problem solving in an ever-changing and shifting game. But sometimes, I catch myself with my head down, tying knots, staring and searching through the surface currents without looking around very much, without breathing deeply and soaking it all in.

But it’s the things that happen while we’re out there that make fly fishing for trout the all-consuming, never ending pursuit that it is for us. And, in truth, all of us need to let that happen. It’s in the choices that we make regarding where we’ll fish, when we’ll fish and who we’ll fish with. Those elements, the locations, the woods, the water and the friendships make all of this special.

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.

Troutbitten On the Orvis Fly Fishing Podcast — Talking About the Mono Rig

It was an honor to once again be a guest with Tom Rosenbauer on the Orvis Fly Fishing Podcast. Back in 2019, Tom and I talked about streamers. This time, Tom asked for a breakdown on the Mono Rig.

It was a fun conversation. Tom and I went deep into the long leaders tactics. We talked about the history, expectations, limitations and misunderstandings regarding the Mono Rig.

PODCAST: Catching Up — Spring 2023

Season Seven will begin on April 10th. But in between seasons, I want to catch you up on a few things that are going on with Troutbitten.

Just a few years ago, Troutbitten was the website only. I wrote and published articles three times a week. Now it’s a multi-media company with many branches — there’s the podcast, the videos, the online shop, hosted events and, of course, the guide business.

Here’s what’s going on in the Troutbitten world . . .

Wavering Confidence

Wavering Confidence

I was resigned to the plan but having a hard time watching it fail.

Why was my confidence so easily shaken? Because a river that was once the most predictable of any that I fish has now become the opposite. It’s a confounding mystery that I keep coming back to, wishing to solve. And I know that with enough time, with an open mind and by running the right experiments, I’ll find the answers . . .

PODCAST: Winter Skills Series, #8: Full Crew Conversation — S6, Ep8

Here we are at the end of Season 6 — the Troutbitten Winter Skills Series. This is episode 8 of the series, with a full crew of friends to wrap things up, to hear some stories and dig into a few more tips for fly fishing in the winter months.

This is a great conversation with my best fishing friends. And this discussion is a nice endcap on a full season dedicated to fly fishing in the winter months.

  1. Very entertaining show today guys. I enjoyed it very much. I can relate to several of stories particularly when camping and fishing in the snow. Or my drift boat ride when I did now what was doing. Thank you so much for the shows. I look forward to them every week

  2. I can relate to nothing in particular in this podcast, but to everything in general. In other words, I loved it, even though the thought of fishing from a drift boat makes my casting arm break out in hives.
