I think building confidence while fly fishing can be tricky, whether it be trying new flies, new techniques, or even new spots. I think the important thing is to remember what you already know and then build from there.

In this I give away coordinates to an excellent fishing spot

33.076391, 104.369524

Whitefish often get a bad rap. So here is a good rap about these awesome fish!

Album in the making!

What is fishing without banter? Shouting at your buddies and telling them how much better you are than them is all a part of fun. I share some of my favorite memories when it comes to this subject.

Jig Hooks or Standard Hooks Which are better? I did a little experiment comparing the two when it comes to swinging nymphs. The results are actually quite substantial, but I will let you decide for yourself.

Pocket water is often the most overlooked water types by most anglers, however fish do tend to hold in this water and they are fairly easy to fool too. This can be an excellent way to get away from the crowds and enjoy some peace and good fishing...if you know how to approach it of course! That's what I talk about in this installment of the Book Club!

Where are the trout? That's a great question!

Book Club 7 is all about how to read water and find fish. With just a couple tips you can improve your water reading ability and put more fish in the net.

In this book club we chat euro nymphing tips. This is not a how to euro nymphing talk, but tips for people who already have some background in euro nymphing. If you would like to hear a how to talk please comment and let me know!

Now this is a debate that can get heated sometimes! Though I do think there is a time and a place for both fly fishing methods, if you want to be successful trout fishing. In this book club I break down the pros and the cons of each method and when I prefer to use each.

Fly fishing gear is not a one size fits all approach, so you have to figure out what works for you based on goals, budget, and stuff like that. However, I do think it helps to understand what other people fish with and why, which is why in this book club I break down the gear I use and why. More specifically I talk about the rod, reel, and line combos I use for euro nymphing, indicator nymphing, and dry fly fishing.
