This Season Ten skills series is about the critical concepts of nymphing. In seven episodes this season, we’re covering the what and the why of nymphing. The techniques we work on are physical skills necessary to get great drifts and fool fish. But these nymphing concepts are about putting a reason behind everything we do.

Why do we make the changes? How do we adapt to meet the preferences of trout for the moment? This is the other side of the coin. And once you put all of this together, you have a full picture of what it takes to regularly catch trout on a nymph.

Importantly, these concepts apply to all nymphing styles, tight line, indicator or otherwise.

My friend Austin Dando joins me this season to walk through these concepts.

Season Ten Topics:

Ep 1. The Three Questions

Ep 2. More Influence or Less?

Ep 3. Suspension Advantages

Ep 4. Three Ways to Dead Drift — Three Zones to Cover

Ep 5. Weight — the Fundamental Factor

Ep 6. Managing Line on the Water and Floating the Sighter

Ep 7. Other Than a Dead Drift

PODCAST: Why We Fish — S13, Ep6

PODCAST: Why We Fish — S13, Ep6

Tonight we’re here to talk about why we fish. It’s a simple question. Why do we commit so much of our free time and efforts, our thoughts and our daydreams . . . to fishing?

It’s the same natural pursuit that brought us all down to the water from the beginning.

PODCAST: Barbed Hooks or Barbless? Does It Really Matter? — S13, Ep5

PODCAST: Barbed Hooks or Barbless? Does It Really Matter? — S13, Ep5

Should we always fish barbless? Maybe not. The answer isn’t that simple. So the Troutbitten guys are here for a conversation and a few thoughts about barbs on hooks.

Each one of us has fished for long enough that we’ve used both barbed and barbless flies. We’ve also used barbs on lures and bait hooks, because we all grew up fishing in different ways. Some anglers who jump right into the fly fishing game — especially for trout — are exposed to a another sentiment. So their reference points are different. And like anything else, what might seem almost outlandish to one person can seem like no big deal to another.

PODCAST: Finding Your Confidence Flies — S13, Ep4

PODCAST: Finding Your Confidence Flies — S13, Ep4

Every angler needs a set of flies to call their own. Among the thousands of patterns, options and choices out there, eventually, we sort out a handful of confidence flies.

Our faith in these flies gives us conviction when choosing them and tying the knot. We’ll fish THIS fly in THIS water. That’s what will catch the next trout. And if it doesn’t, then we’ll change something — maybe the water type, maybe the presentation, maybe the rig. Or maybe we’ll reach for the next confidence fly.

What do you think?

    The why, in my opinion, is even more important than the doing. It’s what fuels the doing! I love the three questions and can’t wait to try them out in NM this weekend on a new river!
