THANK YOU!

(Your transaction is complete, and a receipt for your purchase has been emailed. Details for your order appear at the bottom of this page.)

Allow me to sincerely thank you for supporting Troutbitten. Your purchase helps to further this endeavor.

I’m a full time author and fly fishing guide. There are now over nine-hundred articles on Troubitten, and I’ve chosen the model of self-publishing because I reach the widest audience. As an author, I enjoy the freedom, and I like having control over my own creative material. All of this is a labor of love.

This Troutbitten Shop is new — a work in progress. So please tell me about your experience. If you have troubles, let me know. (Use the contact form at the bottom of the author page.)

Also, did you find the design you were hoping for on a particular product? If not, perhaps I can add it. Let me know what you’d like to see here in the shop.

And thanks again for your support.

(VIDEO) The Fly Rod Dip and Swish — A Useful Trick You Might Have Missed

What do you do when the fly line to leader connection comes back through your rod guides? How do you get to fly line back out there? And if you’re using a long leader system or a tight line nymphing system, and the butt section of your leader wraps around your rod tip, how do you get it unwrapped?

The fly rod dip and swish. That’s the answer you do. It’s a really useful tool that solves a lot of problems . . .

You Don’t Have to Match the Hatch

You Don’t Have to Match the Hatch

One by one they came back to the gravel lot, all of them pleasantly water-weary and uniquely satisfied. Each had caught lots of trout — that part of the story was the same. But the hot flies were all different. Trout had come to dries, streamers and a variety of nymphs. All of the Troutbitten crew had found success, but each had come to it in a different way.

. . . I’m not suggesting to ignore the hatches. I’m saying that you could ignore the hatches and probably catch just as many trout as the next guy . . .

Slipping Contact — Tight Line and Euro Nymphing

Slipping Contact — Tight Line and Euro Nymphing

Slipping contact is the intermixing of influence and autonomy. Take the fly somewhere — help it glide along. Then surrender it to the current, and let the river make the decisions. Slip in and out, and find the balance between influence and independence to the fly . . .
