Fishing Angles - Upstream or Downstream?

from Troutbitten · host Domenick Swentosky

We’re here to talk about fishing angles. Are you wading upstream or down? And are you casting upstream or down? What’s your preference? Why do you make that decision? When, if ever does it change? And does your casting direction always follow your wading direction?Sometimes, these preferences seem regional, while other times it’s specifically about the tactic -- meaning that swinging wet flies, for example, suits a downstream approach best. But sometimes, angle choice seems more like tradition, and many anglers simply fish a certain way because their Dad did.Most of us at Troutbitten look at things objectively. We all went through a period of time where we tore everything down that we thought we knew and rebuilt the database from the ground up. We want to know what really works best.My good friends Matt Grobe and Bill Dell join me to answer these questions.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | The Downstream Fisher Yields to the Upstream FisherVIDEO: Troutbitten | Riverside: Fishing Direction - Should You Work Upstream or Downstream?READ: Troutbitten | Face Upstream, Fish UpstreamREAD: Troutbitten | The Advantages of Working UpstreamVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/
