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.
This is the first video in the new Fish and Film series on Troutbitten. It's been a long time coming. It has taken me over two years of learning and preparing to get here, because I always wanted to be able to shoot and edit these myself. This video series features solo fishing trips -- just me and a camera (and River, my Australian Shepherd). I editing these videos myself, because I want to create images from my own perspective, and I love the process of building something that will last.
Fishing is about 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.
Fish hard, friends.
