I think building confidence while fly fishing can be tricky, whether it be trying new flies, new techniques, or even new spots. I think the important thing is to remember what you already know and then build from there.

In this I give away coordinates to an excellent fishing spot 33.076391, 104.369524 if you are in that area. Plus we talk about the art of deception that many of fishermen have master over the years and how it isn't super likely that the spot I gave you is legit....haha Trout Magic https://www.amazon.com/Trout-Magic-Robert-Traver/dp/0671661949/ref=asc_df_0671661949/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312151423430&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6764981353351060594&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021322&hvtargid=pla-569411864288&psc=1

Whitefish often get a bad rap. So here is a good rap about these awesome fish! Album in the making!

What is fishing without banter? Shouting at your buddies and telling them how much better you are than them is all a part of fun. I share some of my favorite memories when it comes to this subject.

Jig Hooks or Standard Hooks Which are better? I did a little experiment comparing the two when it comes to swinging nymphs. The results are actually quite substantial, but I will let you decide for yourself.

Pocket water is often the most overlooked water types by most anglers, however fish do tend to hold in this water and they are fairly easy to fool too. This can be an excellent way to get away from the crowds and enjoy some peace and good fishing...if you know how to approach it of course! That's what I talk about in this installment of the Book Club! Hyalite Creek Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQlKiCe3OLE

Where are the trout? That's a great question! Book Club 7 is all about how to read water and find fish. With just a couple tips you can improve your water reading ability and put more fish in the net.

In this book club we chat euro nymphing tips. This is not a how to euro nymphing talk, but tips for people who already have some background in euro nymphing. If you would like to hear a how to talk please comment and let me know!

Now this is a debate that can get heated sometimes! Though I do think there is a time and a place for both fly fishing methods, if you want to be successful trout fishing. In this book club I break down the pros and the cons of each method and when I prefer to use each.

Fly fishing gear is not a one size fits all approach, so you have to figure out what works for you based on goals, budget, and stuff like that. However, I do think it helps to understand what other people fish with and why, which is why in this book club I break down the gear I use and why. More specifically I talk about the rod, reel, and line combos I use for euro nymphing, indicator nymphing, and dry fly fishing.

Book Club 3 is all about rigging. Different leader setups ups and the pros and cons of both, as well as fly spacing for nymphing rigs. Also, featuring leaders for indicator nymphing, dry/dropper fishing, and dry fly fishing.

In the second book club we talk about adjusting your fly fishing approach to fish density, fish species, and hatch activity. There are a lot of little details in the second half of Chapter One in Tactical Fly Fishing that can have a major impact on your success on the water.

The first book club is here and I break down the first half of chapter one on what adjustments and plans to use when fishing in different water quality situations. I cover water clarity and water temperature and the adjustments Devin recommends for both, as well as some personal knowledge I have acquired over the years.

What are your dreams and goals? Don't ever forget them.

A while back I changed the name of all my socials from Beyond the River to just my name. I did this because I didn't want to front anymore. I didn't want to be something I am not, I just wanted to be me.

Fly color and how often to change a fly are interesting concepts to explore regardless of which technique you are using. On my latest trip I focused on changing fly color often and trying to figure out which color was working that day. Color of the day? Black!

The greatest failure one can make is to shake off a mistake as a fluke situation. Every failure no matter how small has a lesson. Find that lesson and learn it. That is how we grow as people.

Probably the question that might annoy fishermen the most is "Where do you fish?" And the main reason this question is so annoying is because its truthfully so reason to find a good spot. I break down who to find great spots in little time.

The quest for trophy trout begins! I manage to rangle in a nice brown trout on the Head Banger sculpin. I break down my approach, water type I found fish, and my general thoughts on the days mission. @beyondtheriver98 on all socials (except Twitter) @beyondtheriver9 on Twitter

Fishing in the tribs of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario have been tough as of late. I cover water clarity issues, leave issues, and more.
