Is There Really Anything to Figure Out?

from Troutbitten · host Domenick Swentosky

There’s something about fishing that leads us to believe that we can figure out what the fish want to eat that day — at that moment. Really, we want to believe that. And maybe it’s true often enough that trying to figure ‘em out . . . is a smart strategy.But I’m sure you’ve also had the experience of getting back to camp and every one of your friends all caught fish — but they all caught them on different flies and different water types. And you’ve definitely met the guy in the parking lot who’s positive that he has the answer for catching fish that evening. And maybe he’s so sure of it that he’ll make it work, just because he’ll fish it so hard.Is there really anything to figure out?That’s our topic for this episode. We work around the ins and outs of when, why, where and how chasing that goal of figuring things out makes any sense.My good friends Matt Grobe, Josh Darling and Bill Dell join me for this one.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Pattern vs Presentation - Trout Eat Anything, But Sometimes They Eat Another Thing BetterREAD: Troutbitten | It's Not LuckREAD: Troutbitten | Asking the Best Questions to Catch More TroutVisitTroutbitten 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/
