On Wednesday June 5th at 8:00 p.m. EST, the next Troutbitten LIVESTREAM Podcasts features Tom Rosenbauer as our guest.  Join us and be part of the conversation. This LIVESTREAM is a conversation around stocked trout and club water.

Here’s a story about the solitude that so many of us seek on the water — how the full experience of planning for a trip, driving before dawn, walking in and exploring a river valley provides a respite from our daily life. It’s a chance for a clear mind and for renewed energy. “The Further You Walk, the More You Leave Behind” is about what we recover when we commit to full days and long distances, and how even after we return, we are changed.

We’re here for a tough conversation. This one’s about fishing the pay-to-play setup of a club. Not all clubs stock fish, and not all clubs are a bad choice. But in short, we believe things can be better.

There’s an intangible quality built into the best anglers. It’s about being comfortable and natural around the water. It’s about having an instinct and a guiding intuition on a river that informs decision without even giving it much thought. It’s an innate knowledge of the environment and what will happen next. Knowledge of the woods, water, weather and the trout comes together with ease and adds up to something that is hard to identify.

From the bottom to the top, when the bugs transform from water born to airborne, meeting the with an emerger often sells the presentation.

Our conversation in this episode covers those emergences . . .
