In this recent story from Dom Swentosky over at Troutbitten, he shares a tip that I first heard from a Boy Scout leader in my early teens. Dom talks about the importance of planning for your hook set, especially when fishing on smaller water. On big, wide-open rivers, you don't necessarily need to plan for the hook set as thoroughly. On water that's...

Chris Dombrowski is one of the most celebrated fly fishing writers in recent memory. He recently sat down with the folks over at Hatch Magazine to talk about his journey to becoming an author, as well as his most recent book, The River You Touch.  You can read the conversation with Dombrowski here.

That's the case for me, and it's the case for countless other anglers, as well. And it's that sense of loss that Dom Swentosky builds on in his latest story over at Troutbitten, about lost fishing...

Fly fishing's evolution over the past 20 years has been intriguing to watch, especially as techniques get refined to chase fish that wouldn't be considered "traditional" quarry on a fly rod. The longnose gar certainly wouldn't fall into the "traditional" category, but there's a growing subset of anglers who have mastered the technique of chasing them on the...

Douglas Paton has an interesting take on a lesser-known technique he says helps catch more fish during the spring season. Spring is a time for growth and rejuvenation, and aquatic insects are no stranger to that period of change. Different bugs behave differently when emerging from their larval state into an adult, and it's this moment of change that Paton...
