**NOTE**  This is a patch and not a sticker

The wild trout. No other game fish inspires such dedication in an angler. But it’s not just the challenge or the beauty of a trout that lures us — it’s the wild places where the pursuit of those trout take us. That’s how our passion settles in. Fish hard.

This woven patch features the Trout design from Josh Darling of Wilds Media.

It is 2-3/4″ x 1-3/4″, with a thin PVC backing.

Stitch it onto something fishy.

Troutbitten Fly Box — The Blue Collar Worker (with VIDEO)

** NOTE** Video for the Blue Collar Worker appears below. Show up on time, do your job and have a little fun while you’re at it. Then go home and do it all over again tomorrow. That’s a blue collar worker. I grew up in western Pennsylvania — it was coal country, mixed...

How It Started

There was a small shop attached to the house where he tied flies and built fly rods. Everything was a mystery as I opened the screen door, but I recognize the smell of cedar when I walked in. I knew nothing about leaders, tippets, tapers or nymphs. I just knew I...

The Advantages of Working Upstream

When the dead drift took over as a popular approach to fly fishing, the path of navigation through trout streams began to change. While early fly rod tactics focused on swinging wet flies, modern fly fishing styles present dry flies, nymphs and often streamers from...
