The Airing of Grievances 5 | The Troutbitten Podcast (Video) - S19 Ep9

We’re here for our fifth annual Airing of Grievances episode. We do this every June, at the end of the spring seasons of the podcast. We do it to have some fun, and we do it because it’s helpful to call out the bad things and try to make them better. We also do this because Frank Costanza from Seinfeld once said . . . “I gotta lotta problems with you people, and now . . . you’re gonna here about it.” So we’re here to complain about things, to clear the air and to get things off our chests about the fly fishing industry. And that means just about everyone involved, from the big fly fishing companies and brands, to the start ups. From the fly shops to the guides that work for them. From the independent, part-time guide, to the die-hard angler, to the weekend warrior and to the fisherman who has become fly-fishing-curious in the last few months. Everyone. No exceptions. And that starts with our own self-grievances. After a few years of doing this and getting so many replies from other anglers with their own gripes, we decided to open up the grievances episode to YOU, the listeners. We did that for the first time last year, and this year we have more submissions than ever. So we’ve compiled a list of the most common grievances with the fly fishing industry. And no one is safe. Joining me are Austin Dando, Bill Dell, Trevor Smith and Matt Grobe. -- -- -- Troutbitten Recommended Gear Page https://troutbitten.com/recommended-g... -- -- -- GEAR USED ON THE RIVER Rod: https://alnk.to/gp17RzK Reel: https://alnk.to/gzVSQpR Fly Line: https://amzn.to/4codQ7r Mono Rig: https://troutbitten.com/product-categ...
