Trout Strike

rce for anglers to continue learning when not on the water. Most of my time on the water is on Central Pennsylvania limestone streams. My mission is to provide fly anglers with a free resource filled high quality content based on my own learning. As I am not an authority on any of the concepts I cover, I will embed posts with resources that helped me to deepen my understanding. Simply put, each post is designed to teach. The best teachers create a classroom environment where students feel free to take risks. As the lead learner of TroutStrike.com, my hope is to create a community of anglers in which we can all learn from one another. Some posts will tell stories and hopefully make you laugh and others will be more straightforward. Either way, the goal of each post is to teach a concept to help anglers have more success on the water. Understanding concepts helps us to adapt and transfer our skills to the many different challenges chasing trout with a fly rod presents. Remember, other than proper handling and releasing of the trout we catch, there is never just one right way to do something when it comes to fly fishing. We all know that time spent on the water is the best teacher of all. But for so many of us, we do not have the opportunity to spend as much time on the water as we would like. In fact, I don’t know anyone who says he or she gets enough time on the water. When you are not on the water, it is my sincere hope that TroutStrike.com becomes a space for you to learn, laugh, and reflect about fly fishing for trout so that your time on the water is more successful and enjoyable. Thank you for your support of TroutStrike.com. Spend more time on the water,
