The Freewheelin’ Troutbitten -- Junk Flies, Spot Burns, Ethics and More

This is our seventh podcast episode in the first season. And we’ve done this enough now to get into a rhythm. If you’ve listened to previous episodes, you know that we’ve kept the topics tightly focused on just one aspect of fly fishing for trout. And before we dig into those topics we always do a question and answer session with my friends.

But in this episode we mix it up. This is the Freewheelin’ Troutbitten, with an hour long question and answer session — just a freeform conversation about trout fishing on a fly rod and  a few other things mixed in.

It's a fun discussion filled with details and tactical takeaways, with some good disagreements, differing opinions and good humor.

We Discuss the Following

• Favorite Pheasant Tails
• Junk Flies
• Most memorable loss of gear
• Can you fish an area so much that it becomes unethical?
• Pet peeves of social media

• If you had one cast to catch a trout . . .
• Displacing trout
• The biggest lies in the fly fishing industry
• What skill most helps anglers get to the next level?
• Favorite months of the year to fish
