Fish and Film — Crossover Shifts (VIDEO)

Fishing is a story . . .

On one of the last mornings of summer, I found good action with a Crossover technique, combing the advantages of both streamers and nymphs on a tight line, Mono Rig system. This style was a perfect match for trout that were eager enough, but not in all water types. I covered many different sections and enjoyed fishing some of my favorite wild trout water — big woods and a big river.

In all of these Fish and Film videos, I’ve added over a dozen resources to Troutbitten articles/videos/podcasts in the upper left corner of this film. All of those resources are easily found by using the Troutbitten search page HERE, or by Googling “Troutbitten” and the title. Remember, nothing here stands alone. This video builds upon the foundation that’s been set before it. So dive in and enjoy the process.

Here’s the video . . .

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.

VIDEO: Mono Rig Mods — All the Adjustment for a Versatile, Hybrid System

My friends and I don’t go fishing with our mind set on a certain tactic. We let the trout make those decisions, and we’re ready for anything. The Troutbitten Standard Mono Rig is the perfect tool for such an approach.

. . . It’s a versatile tool. It’s a hybrid system. And to maximize those options, simple adjustments are necessary. This video shows those adjustments in detail . . .

Fish and Film — One Morning For Versatility (VIDEO)

Fishing is a story . . . On a cool morning in August, I visited a favorite stretch of Class A water, with no plan but to see what the trout wanted to eat. In a few hours of fishing for wild trout, I fooled fish with nymphs, dry flies and streamers. This versatile approach is not only enjoyable, it’s often necessary. Because meeting trout on their own terms is the only way to make the most of a river. Cover water. Find feeding fish. Test theories . . . every day.

The Troutbitten Fish and Film series is here. Fishing is a story. It’s the woods and the water. It’s the trout, and the rivers that draw us streamside. And at its best, good fishing is a mystery to be solved with observation, theory and technique.

The new Fish & Film series from Troutbitten aims to tell that story.

This video breaks down all of the important things about hook set direction, hook set distance and hook set timing.

Setting the hooks is the most exciting part of the day. For all the time we spend planning, prepping, wading, tying, casting and drifting, it’s all in anticipation of that brief moment when a trout eats the fly. You fooled a trout. So, don’t screw it up. That’s why the hook set matters most. And planning for the hookset, thinking about how a trout might eat the fly and how we will respond, makes all the difference.

VIDEO: The Dorsey Yarn Indicator — Our Best and Most Versatile Indy Choice — Building It and Fishing It

For over a decade, my Troutbitten friends and I have fished a small yarn indicator that weighs nothing, is extremely sensitive, versatile, cheap, doesn’t affect the cast, and flat out catches more trout than any other indicator we’ve ever used. What we call “the Dorsey” is a daily-use tool that is integral to our nymphing system. We mount it on a tight line rig or a traditional leader with fly line. It floats like crazy. It signals takes and information about the drift like no other indy we’ve ever used, and it’s an unstoppable fish catcher.

  1. Hi Dom,
    Thanks for sharing your time on the water. It was good to see how you adapted and changed tactics (or not) when you encountered different water conditions. after watching you, I was able to be a bit more flexible on the water today, in large part to the confidence I am gaining through sitting in your classroom. I never thought of using a combination of nymphs and streamers before. And, it was also great to see a seasoned angler 30 years my junior have a minor misstep on the water. Sorry about breaking your rod, be grateful it wasn’t your leg. Fishing alone is a great experience but we should all be mindful of solid foot placement and the power of moving water. Once again, thank you for the valuable lessons presented in the video. Hi to Riv! Keep the vids rolling, and stay safe!

  2. Love the new, longer format videos! It’s also nice to see them in almost real time so we get to appreciate the changing colors as the season changes! River is so patient!

    What lanyard/mounting system do you use for the go pro?

    Thx!

  3. You nailed it again,… it’s almost as good as actually being there fishing with you.

    I won’t say word about your header 🙂

  4. Is that a hair tie you use to keep your rod sections together on the walk out?
