On March 11, join the Troutbitten crew from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at New Trail Brewing Company in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

We’re proud to announce a collaboration we’ve been working on for a while. This is a fly tying event and general hangout with the guys from the Troutbitten Podcast. Included in your ticket price is the New Trail X Troutbitten Collaboration T-shirt ahead of its public release. And your first beer is on the house at New Trail.

Here’s the Plan

Bring your fly tying vise, tools and some thread spools.  I (Dom) will tie the Half Pint Streamer and the Bread-n-Butter nymph. We’ll walk through the steps and the specifics of each pattern together, as you tie along and watch on the big screen. Hooks, materials and Troutbitten stickers are included. Prizes will be drawn throughout the event.

If you aren’t a fly tyer, you’re more than welcome to attend without fly tying tools in hand.

More than anything, we’re all looking forward to meeting you, putting faces to names and talking shop. So, after the tying session, let’s share a beer and swap fishing stories.

We’ll see you at the brewery. (Photo by Bill Dell)

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: Why Do We Catch Trout In Patches? — S13, Ep1

Why do we catch trout in patches? Because when we get to the end of the day, we often look back to remember catching three trout in one spot, then nothing for a while. Maybe we missed two and landed five in another spot. We had three at the best undercut bank and another handful at the tailout . . . but in between, there were often long periods of inactivity. Why is that?

The flies matter. But more than anything, it’s about matching the moment, the water type, the lifecycle of the bug – and even the wind conditions. For us, those conditions — those situations — dictate our next fly choice.

We don’t guess on patterns. Instead, we think about things, develop a theory and test it with the next fly choice and (hopefully) a great presentation.

Ten and two. Acceleration and crisp stops between two points. Pause and allow turnover to happen. Feel the rod load and watch it all happen with the fly line in the air. Once you have that timing, your baseline is set, and you can take that same stroke to any rod angle, punching the fly around and laying things out just how you want them with a few adjustments.

Good mending is setup by good casting. Put the two together, and you can feed slack to a dry fly for perfect drag free drifts.

  1. Hey guys, I would love to attend this but am out west in Utah and won’t be able to make it. I’m really hoping you’ll record and share on your YouTube channel or on the Podcast. Anyway, thanks for all the excellent content you put out!

    • Brett,

      I am with you, down in southwestern VA. I hope to be able to see some footage from the event and wish I could be there. Thankful that I have a date on the calendar this summer to fish with Dom to keep me going.

  3. Even though I don’t tie flies it sounds like a cool event. I’ve been a fan of New Trail for years and was thinking of starting to tie. The t shirt alone is worth the trip. Looking forward to it.
