Hey now!

[@labellasongs]

This might be my favorite single piece of content you’ve put out. So cool seeing how the concepts and tactics you’ve been sharing for years in articles and podcast episodes come together in a single day on the water. Seeing them integrated was so helpful. And I hope you can give yourself a pat on the back for the video quality. P.S. - I hope one day I get a dog as calm and well-behaved as River to take on the water with me. He stole the show.

[@Troutbitten]

Ha. Yeah, I think River will probably make it into most of these. He's a good dog. Glad this format worked for you. This first one was a little longer than I wanted, but I learned a lot in the process. Thanks again.

[@liamkingsbury7438]

What an awesome video, I’m really interested in this style of fishing. What rod are you using in this video? It’s cool that it handles the euro nymphing, dries, and big streamers all super well!

[@Troutbitten]

Thank you! About the rod, there's a lot to that answer. But a lo of four weights between 9-10 will get these jobs done. Check out the gear links in the description of this video. Also, here are a couple direct links to Troutbitten resources that apply.

[@troutstrike]

Hey Dom! I’ve been trying my hand at creating angler perspective content for the past two years. So I have an appreciation for the amount of time and planning that went into this. Fishing is hard enough. Adding the filming aspect makes it even more of a challenge. This was beautifully done.

[@Troutbitten]

THANKS. Very true.

[@martinhodell8465]

Fantastic! So cool to see a morning that showcased the versatility options. I was glad to see a full scale leader change captured on film, too! The subtle text with links to the relevant technique you're demonstrating was a great touch. Beautiful filming & masterful content, Dom

[@Troutbitten]

"The subtle text with links to the relevant technique you're demonstrating was a great touch. " Thank you! I debated about this, but in the end, it just made sense. I can only add five link cards on the right hand side. But Troutbitten is a DEEP resource, with 1200+ articles, 130+ podcasts and all these videos. So a lot of what I'm showing has been covered. I feel like I can show more and talk about other topics that are further down the line by providing prior resources for context. Glad you connect with that. Cheers.

[@toneysisk1585]

Always good stuff. Great to see all your content come together in an excellent vid! Really happy you include the weights of all the different pieces of the flies. And I finally I know how to change out an entire leader. I'd been doing it on land and figured there had to be a better way, like out over the water. Now I'm more motivated to swap leaders more often. Shoot, maybe I'll even put together a harvey leader! Cheers. Toney

[@Troutbitten]

Do it. Cheers.

[@velosim]

Great intro to the new series. Really loved the action and the explanations of what you were thinking when changing up. Sometimes tactical choices and sometimes just to mix it up for your enjoyment. Keep it up!

[@Troutbitten]

Cheers and thanks

[@austindecker8456]

I love all of the videos, but this is my favorite. Being able to watch how you approach different sections of water and hear you explain the process provides a lot of insight.

[@Troutbitten]

Nice. Glad to hear it. That's the goal! Cheers.

[@lapp15]

Wow I got chills watching this- the favorite stretch of my favorite river where I learned how to nymph using the mono rig thanks to reading your articles. Literally shaved years of trial and error off my learning curve and has given me a lifelong pursuit to enjoy with my kids. And to see you work the same stretch of water, not that differently from how I would... amazing. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge. It's a pleasure to read and watch but even more enjoyable to put into practice.

[@Troutbitten]

NICE. That's cool to hear.

[@mikescofield]

Terrific video! If I've learned one thing from you Dom (though I've learned many), it's the importance of the right weight to get down deep, fast - and I wasn't. Thanks!

[@Troutbitten]

For SURE! The current trend of thin to win, lighter and longer is fine when it works. But if trout aren't eating on the drop and/or up and out of the strike zone, then the majority of your drift is just wasted time, as you wait for the fly to finally get to a depth where fish can eat it. Everything works sometimes.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Always a pleasure to watch a pro in action. Bonus points for originality: using the word centigram, and fishing a streamer straight upstream. Very cool.

[@Troutbitten]

Thanks. That's kind. I always say there are no pros. It's just fishing. Glad you like the video, and thank you.

[@Stevetkachuk2]

Dom, such a fantastic 1st go at this ! I love how this video ties in so many of the skills and tactics you write and speak on. It really makes all that you do come full circle! Nicely done ! Heyy Noww! I know im not alone here, but I'm looking forward to the next one !

Really great job Dom. Few quick questions- what waders were using and what was the water temp? Do you like your action cam more than GoPro? Thanks again

[@ryanfawcett9662]

So if you had to pick you would throw split shot versus weighted flies? What distance between the nymph and the split shot? Awesome context!

[@Troutbitten]

Hello and thank you. I use split shot sometimes, and other times I use shot. There are many factors that lead me to the decision. I dropped the title of a relevant article in the video, and I'll try to keep doing that in future Fish and Film videos as well. Here's the best article on Troutbitten about this. There are more . . . troutbitten.com/2017/01/26/split-shot-vs-weighted-flies/ That'll give you a pretty in-depth answer. Cheers.

[@daveschlom4033]

I would love to hear a pod on "fishing with your dog." I am going to try taking Ellie. She's pretty obedient and would never run off but she does think that a trip to the river means plunge right in.

[@Troutbitten]

I've had a lot of requests for that. My hesitation is that I wouldn't encourage most people to take most dogs. A good river dog is pretty rare. Honestly, it starts with the breed.

[@daveschlom4033]

@@Troutbitten That makes total sense.

[@topp51]

I'm sitting in my arm chair with my 4 year old son in my lap. We're eating leftover pizza watching Troutbitten take down some nice browns. My boy says to me, "We should go to that guy's river and catch some trout." We're in MD, so he'll have to settle for, "Yea maybe someday, man." Thanks for the content, Dom

[@Troutbitten]

That's cool. I guess the point of these videos, though, is that you can do all this stuff on any trout river. Nothing special about my water really.

Not gonna lie - River is definitely the star of the film! Thanks, really enjoyed it :)

[@Troutbitten]

He's a lot of fun out there. Thanks for watching!

[@joshrebert4364]

I thought you normally don't look across fish across but that's what it looked like what you did can you explain why and when we should do that

[@Troutbitten]

I think that's just the action cam giving that perspective. I was within the Golden Ratio of nymphing, only one rod length over and a couple up, the whole time I was nymphing. Only exception is the one spot up against the rocks, but I mentioned that I didn't expect them to eat because it wasn't a dead drift. Remember, the rest of the footage is dry flies and streamers, and I most definitely fish up and across and at all kinds of angles with those flies. Make sense?

[@joshrebert4364]

Thanks for taking the time to clarify that I really enjoy watching your videos and podcasts keep'em coming and tight lines

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Nice one Dom, good job with the filming and editing too. :)

[@Troutbitten]

Thank you. Very kind.

[@47flyfisher]

Thoughly enjoyable. Well done. I'm intrigued by a rod that can do everything from casting dry flies to heavy streamers and nymph rigs. What length and weight Ultralite LL is that? It looks primarily like a dry fly rod that can also fish nymphs and streamers. Or is it primarily a nymphing rod that can also cast a regular fly line? It's very versatile and you only need to carry one rod. I could use a rod like that. BTW, River is a great fishing dog!

[@Troutbitten]

Thanks. So there's a lot to this topic of rod selection. I've covered it well in a few other resources, and I'll leave links to those below my short answer. A good four or five weight candle do a lot. The Hardy Ultralite or the Hardy Marksman are great tools, and I wouldn't say they are a dry fly rod or a nymphing rod. They are just good fly rods. Same with the Winston Super 10 or the Orvis H3F. All of those are favorites in a ten foot four weight. Ten feet gives me the reach for tight lining, although it's not necessary. Anything longer becomes a handicap when fishing streamers the way I like to. And the truth is that most any good fly rod will cast a dry fly really well, if you have the right leader (Harvey, for example). So I choose a versatile fly rod, then I build my system around it. Most times, when fishing under the water, I choose a Standard Mono Rig. Not a Micro Mono Rig (specialized), but a tool that casts like a fly line and performs very much that way if my casting is good. That's how I get so much versatility out of one rod. You saw me change at about the halfway point of the video to a dry fly leader. It takes a couple minutes. And that Hardy casts everything beautifully, streamers included, but realize that I'm not also casting the weight of a sinking line or something. Resources: troutbitten.com/2021/09/22/the-best-fly-rods-for-the-mono-rig-and-euro-nymphing-my-favorite-rods/ troutbitten.com/recommended-gear/recommended-gear-fly-rods-and-reels/ troutbitten.com/2022/07/03/podcast-the-versatile-angler-s3-ep15/ troutbitten.com/2017/10/15/fifty-fly-fishing-tips-12-use-a-versatile-and-general-fly-rod/ That should help you out. Follow those links and then go down the rabbit hole of all the links contained therein. Have fun out there! Cheers.

[@47flyfisher]

@@Troutbitten Thanks. I appreciate your reply. And I love going down rabbit holes.

[@TroutDaze]

Hey Dom, quick question...were you using a regular fly line for your rod...not a thin euro line? What I've been doing is carrying an extra reel, rigged up with regular floating line and an appropriate leader for dries/streamers/etc. Then just switching the reel if I want to go from tightlining to more traditional. Great video, beautiful pup! Thanks!

[@Troutbitten]

Thanks for your question. I have a lot of thoughts about this. Euro lines are useless to me. They were created for competition, to get as close to a Mono Rig and still be within the rules. I don't care at all about competitions, so I don't fall in line with those limitations. Why limit yourself to a euro line? Use a regular fly line on the reel. Then all you have to do is change the leader and not the whole spool. That's about one minute vs five minutes. Make it easier for yourself so you do it more often. Couple articles/video that apply . . . troutbitten.com/2021/01/04/euro-nymphing-fly-line-vs-the-mono-rig/ troutbitten.com/2022/05/05/lightning-fast-leader-changes-with-video/ I tend to do things a little differently than most. But I fish a lot, and I love versatility. Those links should help you out. Have fun out there.

@@Troutbitten the funny thing is, I think the nature of the video highlights what might be the most important lesson - learn to love rigging. I took my son out this morning and we both get too focused on trying to “make it work” with whatever we have rigged up.

@Troutbitten awesome! I have registered treeing Feist ( squirrel dogs). Their balance Is unreal, but they are high strung. If a bird flies over, they will chase it!

About that time my Mom hooked a nice Brown, and sure enough, here came that lab! It was trying to steal her fish! She was hollering at the dog and trying to land the fish goingback and forth , I couldn't help for laughing! We finally got in in the net and here came that big wet dog ,shaking and jumping on her! It was so funny... Memories like that are never forgotten. Take good care of River, my friend, and give him a big hug from me. He's so beautiful!
