The Airing of Grievances 3: The Troutbitten Podcast -- S11, Ep9

(From June 16, 2024) The third annual Airing of Grievances on the Troutbitten Podcast has arrived. Some of this is playful and some is serious.
Complaining’s not a bad thing if it accomplishes something productive -- or if it’s kinda fun. Or if it draws attention to some of the absurdities around you.
Some things need to change. Because there are plenty of influences and influencers leading us all down a road to nowhere, or really, to a place that loses the depth of this fishing experience - of what we love about the woods and the water in the first place.
So let’s be a voice for that stuff too. Let’s complain a little more against those things that are pulling us all in the wrong direction. Keep fishing fun. Keep it pure. Keep it a simple match between fish and a fisherman, surrounded by mystery and embedded with the wild, unpredictable nature of the outdoors and everything it holds for us.
Whatever you believe, take a stand for it. That’s what we try to do here with the Airing of Grievances.

No one hates fly fishers more than fly fishers. When did we become so unfriendly? If someone high holes me I’m happy to go start a conversation with them. 99% of the time they are completely new to fly fishing or new to the area. They are eager to learn and happy to hear any feedback you might have. Win friends and influence people.

Good life lesson for an ideal situation there. Cheers.
