WOT 238: Choosing Your River in Pennsylvania and the Pace of Wading with Bill Dell

from The Wadeoutthere Fly Fishing Podcast

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Bill Dell from Western Pennsylvania.  Bill grew up fishing the blue gill pond on his family’s farm in Pennsylvania as a boy, and continued to passionately fish through high school and college.  It was his introduction to steelhead fishing in the Great Lakes that convinced him that his future was in fly fishing.  Bill takes an analytical mind to fly fishing.  Early on, he used his love of numbers to help him organize details about his time on the water, and develop systems for where and how to fish.  Bill also has a passion for photography and has been taking his camera with him in nature from the beginning.  Today Bill continues his photography and interest in fly fishing tactics as a guide and contributor at Troutbitten. We discuss finding the small things that stand out in nature, how to methodically assess which river might be fishing best in Pennsylvania on any given day, and Bill’s thoughts on intentionality in the pace you take while wading a trout stream.Learn More:@billd328Troutbitten.comVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason ShemchukNewsletter Sign-Up . Sign up for emails with new podcast episodes, blog articles, and updates on artwork from Jason.
