Cheers and thank you. Glad you enjoy the visual side of it too. The fishing is coming this summer, in a new series called Fish Along. It'll be fun.

Nice

Thanks, man.

Ha. Josh catches me on the outtakes every time. And this time he caught me skipping in the intro. Lol. I'll get him back some day.

Sure thing.

@@Troutbitten One quick question if you don't mind. Is it ok to have sighter go in the water? You mentioned not to change tippet all the time. So do you fish the sighter partially in the water at times?

@@steelhead6368 Almost never do I put the sighter under the water. One of the things that provides the tight line advantage in the first place is having just one diameter of material under the water. So unless my sighter is about 5x, it will cause drag, at least to some level. Couple Troutbitten articles for you . . . troutbitten.com/2021/04/05/the-tight-line-advantage-across-fly-fishing-styles/ troutbitten.com/2017/05/31/tight-line-nymphing-sighter/ Those will help you out, I think. And be sure to follow the linked articles within. Any text in orange is a link to an applicable article. Have fun out there.

@@Troutbitten Thank you so much for the reply, this will soooo much help me get started. You're videos are amazing and helpful. I will definitely be checking out your website.

My pleasure. That's very kind, Paul.

Hi Rick. Simms G3. Here's the full review: troutbitten.com/2021/01/12/100-day-gear-review-simms-g3-guide-vest/ No front vis issues.

Good question. I set things up a little differently when we are filming, mostly so we can see the line and sighter better. Here is my Standard Mono Rig setup. troutbitten.com/2021/03/14/design-and-function-of-the-troutbitten-standard-mono-rig/ .

You need the Backing Barrel article link. It's here: troutbitten.com/2021/10/08/the-backing-barrel-might-be-the-best-sighter-ever/ Detailed answers to your questions are there. Cheers.

Yes. That's a fair substitution.

My go-to nymphs are here, in this article: Troutbitten Fly Box -- Seventeen Confidence Nymphs troutbitten.com/2019/09/29/troutbitten-confidence-flies-seventeen-nymphs/ I fish that set, year round. Those nymphs cover everything you can encounter on a trout stream. There are about five in that set that could cover a Tan Caddis. Try the Walt's, Pheasant Tail and Bread -Butter. Cheers.

Thank you. And that's a fair request. Look back through, because many of the videos do have fishing sequences in them, but this one does not. It was simply getting too long already, for what we were shooting for. In the last ten months or so, I've been building something here on KZfaq, as a companion to the website and the podcasts, and it may not follow the formula that many expect -- meaning, these videos may be a little different than what else is out there. We started with the Mono Rig series, then the Troutbitten Tips Series, then the Troutbitten Fly Box series. My big (too big) winter project is a Fish Along series, and in that, you'll get exactly what you are asking for. The focus in the Fish Along series will be catching trout. I'm producing those myself, so learning video filming and editing has been a years long process. But it's fun. And I'm excited to get the Fish Along video series kicked off in the springtime. Step by step, right? One thing I learned long ago -- you simply cannot put everything in one article/video/podcast. Thanks again for your support. Cheers.

Haha well after reading every single one of your blog posts and all your videos I know without a doubt you have a good reason for everything you do both on the stream and in your content, much appreciated- and can’t wait for a fish along series!

Right on. Thanks again for your support.

Right on. That's a Simms G3. Can't beat it. Here's my 100 Day Gear Review on Troutbitten: troutbitten.com/2021/01/12/100-day-gear-review-simms-g3-guide-vest/

Thanks for the fast reply and great article, well written. I have always used hip and sling packs and never considered a vest until watching your videos.

Ha. With my Pittsburgh accent?

@@Troutbittenit’s so relaxing
