The Troutbitten Fish and Film series continues with Josh and Trevor on a night fishing trip. It's hard to find good fishing buddies, and it's even harder to find ones that will fish at night. But these guys have logged more night hours together than most anglers will put in over a lifetime.
Night fishing around here is tough. There are no freebies, and nothing comes easy. So it's good to see a couple large fish come to the net for this video.
Enjoy this short film with good fishing friends. Also, check it out to see the recipe for the Bad Mother Night Fly.

Great timing releasing this. Now I'm even more hyped for tonight. In an hour and a half the kids are going down to bed. Then I am heading up my to vice to tie up a couple flies inspired by your stuff, then I'm heading down to the river. I'll be wet wading so I don't sweat half to death like Trevor though. Also, thanks for inspiring me to get a backpack kid carrier to take my toddlers fishing with me. It just showed up today. Next day that I have off that isn't too hot for the tykes, I'm taking one out with me.

[@Troutbitten]

Ha. Nice. Water is too cold around here, with about 55-60 air temps too. I can't handle it, so I never wet wade at night. I also like that extra feeling of protection against the unseen. Trevor was probably just wearing wool. Ha. Good luck out there.

[@muddlerminnow]

@@Troutbitten I am a creature of cold. Once the water temp starts with a 5 and the air temp starts with a 6, I'm good and the waders get hung up until around Halloween. It's great because my waders last forever.

Wonderfully produced video, start to finish. I loved the mid-video punch out to Dom for a brief explanation of what the fellas are using and how to tie it. The Troutbitten products (podcasts, videos, and web content) are truly separating you guys from the “pack”. Can’t wait for season 8 to learn a lot more about what I just watched.

[@Troutbitten]

Thanks, Rob. Very kind.

[@timbotrout]

"buttery brown, toad, pig of a fish". All I kept thinking was the quote, "You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain." Bahahaha, great video guys, you represent PA well.

[@Troutbitten]

Nice

[@blueridgeflyguy9551]

Wow! Way to go guys. My wife just asked me if I ever wanted to go night fishing and I showed her this video!

[@Troutbitten]

Hey now

[@martinhodell8465]

wow your wife is hardcore

[@scottpetiet4046]

Great video guys! Definitely peaked my interest in night fishing some local streams.

[@Troutbitten]

Do it.

[@Dream-season]

Sweet video! Thanks for posting!

[@Troutbitten]

Hey now

[@samhalbrock]

Thanks for the video, Great stuff!

[@Troutbitten]

Right on

[@80horse54]

I feel like I just watched a Christopher Nolan movie 🔥🔥

[@Troutbitten]

There ya go

[@Jon626]

Loved this one. Nothing like the feeling of dissappointment that the sun will be up in a few hours...

[@Troutbitten]

Ha. Right on.

[@jshada58]

Another fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. Professionally done and entertaining.

[@Troutbitten]

Thanks.

[@joelbender4089]

That was awesome! Great video!

[@Troutbitten]

Thank you

[@mesanomad55]

First ever flyfishing horror film. Well done.

[@Troutbitten]

Lol. That's right

[@kerrygubits6427]

Damn! What a fine little film.

[@Troutbitten]

Thank you

[@kriskohanjr.8695]

Awesome video. Been listening to the podcast on repeat and love all the Seinfeld references. Hope you guys continue the fish and film episodes. Hope to see some more “sweet buttery browns.”🤣🤣🤣

[@Troutbitten]

Ha. Yup

[@richardfleming4850]

Very cool gents!

[@Troutbitten]

Cheers

[@Fatolleechflyfishing]

awesome video! keep the good work up.👍

[@Troutbitten]

Thank you

[@pahuntnut]

Great video, great podcast

[@Troutbitten]

Much appreciated!

[@kvzaustin]

Saw that Josh carries chameleon and amnesia on a tippet holder. Are you rebuilding leaders that often? Super curious about that gear decision. Nice fish! Love seeing a night fishing video.

[@wildsmedia]

The terminal section of our rigs on most of these night outings is between 10-15lb. The amnesia was a substitute for my 10lb chameleon which I was out of at the time. 🤙🏼 wouldn’t necessarily recommend the amnesia for that purpose.

[@martinhodell8465]

good eyes- I had the exact same question

[@Troutbitten]

Josh got it. Cheers.

[@danielnapenas2157]

@troutbitten. Great job as usual. Love the dim intermission. Like Ringo Starr in shining time station.

[@Troutbitten]

Love it

[@danielnapenas2157]

@@Troutbitten I misspelled *Dom. And I think it’s Richard starkey

[@TheNorthwestWind]

nice nice

[@Troutbitten]

Cheers.

[@markleone6700]

Such a good video, guys. Well done. Question: Would you say one needs to be at a higher-than-average skill level with regard to traditional day fishing BEFORE attempting night fishing, or not necessarily? You're probably going to answer this in the night fishing episode ...

[@Troutbitten]

Yes. Definitely need to have your act together before trying to take it into the dark.

[@theattic159]

id be good with just getting these videos forever. if there was an AI fishing companion I think darling would be who it was made after. dude is a gem

[@Troutbitten]

He's a front ender.; Don't let him tell you any different. ;-)

[@southplatteangler]

0:20 what brand rod holder do you have in your truck?

[@Troutbitten]

Smith Creek Rod Rack. Full review is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXa3nYeHopWMma8 Cheers.

[@Jkannen]

At what point do you break out the flask if you don’t catch any whiskeys? Haha

[@Troutbitten]

Ha. Some nights, pretty quickly.

[@fudd126]

Awesome fish will a Red lens light not spook fish? Going to try to get out this weekend

[@Troutbitten]

Hi there. Yeah red light sold them too, but not as much. We use red light to preserve night vision, or even we have to get around or tie knots. Here's a full article on the subject: troutbitten.com/2018/07/22/night-fishing-for-trout-chapter-three-headlamps-flashlights-and-glow-in-the-dark-stuff/

[@Airsoftbonnybridge]

Wish my state allowed fishing at night!

[@Troutbitten]

Yeah that sucks

[@thomastero4662]

Were those big fish caught on the Bad Mother?

[@martinhodell8465]

I'd bet there were some Pendragon caught fish that night

[@Troutbitten]

I know at least one was.

[@Troutbitten]

Right on

[@jhoffman81]

Sheetz food is disgusting but if it's the only option you gotta do what needs to be done!

[@Troutbitten]

Fully agree with that.

[@scottlowe3355]

Would you guys ever consider night guided trips?

[@Troutbitten]

I did night trips for a couple years but I don't anymore.

[@bigsummitfishing4962]

What camera did you use to film this? Awesome video!

[@Troutbitten]

I think Josh uses an R5

[@wildsmedia]

Yes, Canon R5. Thanks for watching!

[@coreylabarge126]

That's not the mono rig??

[@Troutbitten]

No! Ha. Glow in the dark fly line and a seven foot leader. Here's an article about that: troutbitten.com/2018/07/22/night-fishing-for-trout-chapter-three-headlamps-flashlights-and-glow-in-the-dark-stuff/
