The Wadeoutthere Fly Fishing Podcast

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Rich Strolis from Simsbury Connecticut. Rich always had a love of fishing, but became a more devoted fly angler shortly after starting his career as a state trooper.
He started fly fishing after working the night shift to help him decompress, and eventually was getting over a hundred days a year on the Farmington River. Rich began guiding and tying flies as a second career, until deciding he needed more time with family. Now that he has retired from his job as a trooper, Rich is selling flies and fishing more for himself.
We discuss techniques for tying more durable flies, the Housatonic River, and streamer tactics centered around patterns for reading and fishing different waters.
You can find out more about Rich, pick up some flies for your next fly fishing adventure, or purchase his book "Catching Shadows" at his website:

In this episode we Wadeoutthere with Domenick Swentosky from central Pennsylvania. Domenick is a fly fishing guide and the creator of Troutbitten.
What is Troutbitten? Well, it's a website, with over 800 articles dedicated to helping folks enjoy time on the river and catch more trout. But it's also a podcast, where Domenick and his friends discuss ideas on various fly fishing tactics and philosophies while sharing memories and a laugh. Then again, it's also part YouTube Channel, with beautiful, high quality videography that shows people the howtos of various fly fishing tips and tricks with candor and logic. The truth is Troutbitten is all those things.
Perhaps the simplest answer is Troutbitten is a place for people who love fly fishing for trout. People like those at Wadeoutthere. Maybe that’s why I’m so excited to talk with Domenick as the first ever repeat guest on the Wadeoutthere Podcast. We discuss fly fishing with kids, streamers, and making changes on the river.
Domenick's articles at Troutbitten are an incredible resource. If you want to read more about the tactics that Domenick believes in, or schedule a guided trip, visit:
