  Marvin

  Cash,

  the
• 0:05
  host
• 0:05
  of
• 0:06
  the

• 0:06
  We're

  Ellis,
• 0:10
  how
• 0:10
  are
• 0:10

  Well,
• 0:12
  Marv,
• 0:13
  how
• 0:13
  are
• 0:13
  you?
• 0:13
  As
• 0:14
  always,
• 0:14
  just
• 0:14
  trying
• 0:14
  to
• 0:15
  stay
• 0:15
  out
• 0:15
  of
• 0:15
  trouble.
• 0:15
  And
• 0:16
  I
• 0:17
  think
• 0:17
  we're
• 0:17
  in
• 0:17
  the
• 0:17
  easy
• 0:17
  bake
• 0:18
  for
• 0:18
  the
• 0:18
  rest
• 0:18
  of
• 0:18
  the
• 0:18
  summer.
• 0:19
  What
• 0:19
  are
• 0:19
  you
• 0:19
  seeing
• 0:19
  on
• 0:19
  the
• 0:19
  water?
• 0:22
  Yeah,
• 0:24
  independent
• 0:25
  of
• 0:25
  temperatures
• 0:27
  being
• 0:28
  what
• 0:28
  they
• 0:28
  are,
• 0:30
  which
• 0:30
  is
• 0:30
  for
• 0:31
  the
• 0:31
  uninitiated
• 0:32
  hot,
• 0:33
  the
• 0:33
  humid,
• 0:35
  we're
• 0:35
  getting
• 0:36
  these,
• 0:38
  I
• 0:38
  mean
• 0:38
  it's,
• 0:39
  it's
• 0:39
  been
• 0:39
  this
• 0:40
  for
• 0:40
  the
• 0:40
  last,
• 0:41
  God
• 0:42
  I
• 0:42
  want
• 0:42
  to
• 0:42
  say
• 0:42
  month
• 0:43
  or
• 0:43
  more
• 0:43
  where
• 0:44
  we're
• 0:44
  just
• 0:44
  getting
• 0:46
  wrecked
• 0:47
  like
• 0:48
  three
• 0:48
  or
• 0:48
  four
• 0:48
  nights
• 0:49
  of
• 0:49
  the
• 0:49
  week
• 0:53
  with
• 0:53
  these
• 0:54
  like,
• 0:54
  you
• 0:54
  know,
• 0:55
  30,
• 0:55
  45
• 0:56
  minute
• 0:56
  bursts.
• 0:59
  And
• 0:59
  so
• 1:00
  it's,
• 1:00
  it's
• 1:00
  put
• 1:00
  some
• 1:01
  nice
• 1:01
  color
• 1:01
  in
• 1:01
  the
• 1:01
  water.
• 1:02
  Not
• 1:02
  enough.
• 1:02
  Now
• 1:03
  there's
• 1:03
  been
• 1:03
  some
• 1:03
  days
• 1:04
  where
• 1:04
  it's,
• 1:05
  it's
• 1:05
  a
• 1:05
  little
• 1:05
  blown
• 1:06
  out
• 1:08
  in
• 1:08
  terms
• 1:08
  of
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  clarity,
• 1:10
  but
• 1:11
  it's
• 1:13
  at
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  same
• 1:14
  time
• 1:14
  it's
• 1:14
  not
• 1:14
  enough
• 1:15
  to
• 1:16
  create
• 1:17
  for
• 1:17
  example,
• 1:18
  24
• 1:18
  set
• 1:19
  of
• 1:19
  releases
• 1:20
  on,
• 1:20
  on
• 1:20
  both
• 1:21
  rivers.
• 1:24
  So
• 1:24
  it
• 1:24
  has
• 1:24
  been
• 1:25
  very
• 1:25
  interesting.
• 1:25
  It's
• 1:25
  also
• 1:26
  created
• 1:29
  a
• 1:29
  few
• 1:29
  different
• 1:29
  scenarios
• 1:30
  where
• 1:31
  the
• 1:32
  fish
• 1:32
  are
• 1:32
  just
• 1:32
  going,
• 1:33
  you
• 1:34
  know,
• 1:34
  bugs,
• 1:35
  fish,
• 1:36
  everything's
• 1:37
  just
• 1:37
  so,
• 1:38
  so
• 1:38
  on.
• 1:40
  And
• 1:42
  even
• 1:43
  when
• 1:43
  things
• 1:43
  are
• 1:44
  off
• 1:45
  this
• 1:45
  time
• 1:45
  of
• 1:45
  year,
• 1:46
  it's,
• 1:48
  it's,
• 1:48
  it
• 1:48
  feels
• 1:48
  different.
• 1:49
  Right
• 1:49
  there's,
• 1:50
  you
• 1:50
  get
• 1:51
  these
• 1:51
  bite
• 1:51
  windows
• 1:52
  that
• 1:52
  are,
• 1:52
  that
• 1:53
  are
• 1:53
  just
• 1:53
  so
• 1:54
  spicy
• 1:55
  and
• 1:55
  for
• 1:55
  anyone
• 1:56
  who's
• 1:56
  fished
• 1:56
  for
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  last
• 1:58
  month
• 1:58
  or
• 1:58
  so,
• 2:01
  they
• 2:01
  know
• 2:01
  exactly
• 2:01
  what
• 2:02
  I'm
• 2:02
  talking
• 2:02
  about
• 2:02
  where
• 2:02
  it's
• 2:03
  like
• 2:04
  all
• 2:05
  of
• 2:05
  a
• 2:05
  sudden
• 2:05
  you're
• 2:05
  seeing
• 2:05
  fish
• 2:07
  not
• 2:07
  just
• 2:08
  hitting
• 2:08
  streamers
• 2:09
  every
• 2:09
  other
• 2:09
  cast,
• 2:10
  but
• 2:11
  they're
• 2:11
  rising
• 2:12
  everywhere.
• 2:12
  And,
• 2:13
  and
• 2:15
  you
• 2:15
  know,
• 2:15
  I'm,
• 2:15
  I'm
• 2:16
  having
• 2:16
  to
• 2:16
  make
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  call
• 2:17
  and,
• 2:18
  and
• 2:18
  have
• 2:18
  the
• 2:18
  discussion
• 2:19
  of.
• 2:19
  All
• 2:19
  right,
• 2:19
  well,
• 2:20
  like
• 2:20
  I'm
• 2:20
  going
• 2:20
  to
• 2:21
  have
• 2:21
  to
• 2:21
  row
• 2:21
  us
• 2:21
  out,
• 2:22
  like
• 2:22
  we're
• 2:22
  going
• 2:22
  to
• 2:23
  be
• 2:23
  late
• 2:24
  and,
• 2:25
  but
• 2:26
  we're
• 2:26
  going
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  sit
• 2:26
  here
• 2:27
  and,
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  you
• 2:28
  know,
• 2:29
  hound
• 2:29
  fish
• 2:29
  on
• 2:29
  dry
• 2:30
  pods
• 2:30
  for
• 2:30
  a
• 2:30
  little
• 2:30
  bit.
• 2:31
  So
• 2:31
  that's,
• 2:32
  that
• 2:32
  has
• 2:32
  been
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  case.
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  think
• 2:33
  that,
• 2:34
  that
• 2:36
  the
• 2:37
  emphasized
• 2:39
  these,
• 2:39
  these
• 2:39
  bite
• 2:40
  windows
• 2:40
  with
• 2:41
  exclamation
• 2:41
  points
• 2:42
  are,
• 2:43
  have
• 2:43
  a
• 2:44
  little
• 2:44
  bit
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  do
• 2:44
  with
• 2:44
  that
• 2:44
  barometer
• 2:45
  and
• 2:45
  these,
• 2:47
  these
• 2:47
  really
• 2:49
  powerful
• 2:50
  storms
• 2:50
  that
• 2:51
  come
• 2:51
  through
• 2:52
  that
• 2:52
  don't
• 2:53
  really
• 2:53
  last
• 2:53
  all
• 2:53
  that
• 2:54
  long.
• 2:55
  But
• 2:55
  you
• 2:56
  know,
• 2:56
  same
• 2:56
  deal,
• 2:56
  yellow
• 2:57
  bugs
• 2:57
  most
• 2:58
  of
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  time
• 2:59
  and
• 3:00
  anything
• 3:01
  from
• 3:01
  a
• 3:02
  16
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  22.
• 3:05
  I,
• 3:05
  I
• 3:05
  kind
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  err
• 3:06
  on
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  smaller
• 3:06
  side
• 3:06
  of
• 3:07
  things.
• 3:08
  And
• 3:08
  then
• 3:11
  streamer
• 3:11
  fishing,
• 3:14
  it's,
• 3:14
  it's
• 3:15
  been,
• 3:17
  it's
• 3:17
  been
• 3:18
  pretty
• 3:18
  consistent
• 3:19
  and
• 3:20
  I,
• 3:20
  I
• 3:20
  have
• 3:20
  had
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  few
• 3:21
  converts
• 3:23
  from
• 3:23
  the.
• 3:26
  Let's
• 3:27
  reliably
• 3:27
  get
• 3:28
  Some
• 3:28
  eats
• 3:29
  on
• 3:30
  flies
• 3:31
  that
• 3:31
  have
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  little
• 3:31
  bit
• 3:31
  of
• 3:32
  weight
• 3:33
  to.
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  will
• 3:35
  admit
• 3:37
  to
• 3:37
  some
• 3:38
  manipulation
• 3:40
  on
• 3:41
  my
• 3:41
  end.
• 3:42
  Just
• 3:42
  getting
• 3:43
  people
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  step
• 3:45
  out
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  comfort
• 3:45
  zone
• 3:47
  and
• 3:48
  fish
• 3:49
  a
• 3:49
  drunk
• 3:49
  and
• 3:49
  fish
• 3:50
  a
• 3:50
  swim
• 3:50
  bug
• 3:51
  and
• 3:51
  fish
• 3:51
  these
• 3:52
  flies
• 3:52
  that
• 3:52
  are
• 3:52
  closer
• 3:53
  to
• 3:53
  the
• 3:53
  surface,
• 3:55
  closer
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  the
• 3:56
  boat
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  open
• 3:57
  water
• 3:58
  and
• 4:00
  watch
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  brown
• 4:01
  come
• 4:03
  hit
• 4:03
  it
• 4:03
  from
• 4:03
  below
• 4:04
  right
• 4:04
  in
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  belly
• 4:07
  and
• 4:07
  look
• 4:07
  back
• 4:08
  at
• 4:08
  me
• 4:08
  and
• 4:08
  say,
• 4:09
  oh
• 4:10
  my
• 4:10
  God,
• 4:12
  you
• 4:13
  were
• 4:13
  right.
• 4:14
  And
• 4:14
  so
• 4:15
  there's,
• 4:16
  I
• 4:17
  don't
• 4:17
  know
• 4:17
  this,
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  whole
• 4:18
  thing
• 4:19
  is.
• 4:20
  And
• 4:20
  we've,
• 4:20
  we've
• 4:21
  talked
• 4:21
  this
• 4:22
  to
• 4:22
  death,
• 4:22
  I
• 4:23
  think
• 4:23
  probably
• 4:23
  before
• 4:23
  and
• 4:24
  during
• 4:24
  podcast.
• 4:24
  But
• 4:26
  the
• 4:27
  whole
• 4:27
  thing
• 4:27
  is
• 4:29
  streamer
• 4:30
  fishing
• 4:30
  in
• 4:30
  general
• 4:30
  is
• 4:31
  kind
• 4:31
  of
• 4:31
  a
• 4:32
  little
• 4:33
  bit
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  a
• 4:33
  journey
• 4:33
  and
• 4:33
  it
• 4:34
  just
• 4:34
  depends
• 4:34
  on
• 4:34
  which
• 4:35
  path
• 4:35
  you
• 4:35
  want
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  take.
• 4:36
  But
• 4:37
  I
• 4:38
  can
• 4:38
  summarize
• 4:38
  that
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  say
• 4:40
  most
• 4:40
  paths
• 4:40
  have
• 4:41
  been
• 4:41
  leading
• 4:41
  to
• 4:42
  good
• 4:42
  sized
• 4:42
  brown
• 4:43
  trout
• 4:43
  eating
• 4:43
  flies
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  occasionally,
• 4:46
  depending
• 4:46
  on
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  hook
• 4:47
  set,
• 4:49
  they
• 4:49
  end
• 4:50
  up
• 4:50
  in
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  net.
• 4:50
  So
• 4:51
  it's
• 4:51
  been
• 4:51
  a
• 4:51
  good
• 4:51
  last
• 4:52
  few
• 4:52
  weeks
• 4:53
  and
• 4:55
  been
• 4:55
  sneaking
• 4:55
  in
• 4:55
  a
• 4:55
  little
• 4:56
  messy
• 4:56
  fishing
• 4:57
  too.
• 4:59
  Upper
• 5:00
  French
• 5:00
  Broad
• 5:00
  has
• 5:01
  been
• 5:02
  hovering
• 5:03
  in
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  upper
• 5:03
  60s
• 5:05
  in
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  morning.
• 5:07
  So
• 5:08
  kind
• 5:09
  of
• 5:09
  looking,
• 5:09
  looking
• 5:10
  towards
• 5:10
  that.
• 5:12
  September,
• 5:13
  October,
• 5:14
  November
• 5:15
  and,
• 5:16
  and
• 5:16
  then
• 5:17
  just
• 5:17
  massing
• 5:17
  every
• 5:17
  opportunity
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  can
• 5:18
  get,
• 5:19
  which
• 5:19
  is
• 5:21
  it
• 5:21
  has,
• 5:21
  it's
• 5:21
  been
• 5:21
  productive.
• 5:22
  Kind
• 5:22
  of
• 5:22
  led
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  development
• 5:23
  of
• 5:24
  a
• 5:24
  new
• 5:25
  little
• 5:26
  mouse
• 5:26
  pattern.
• 5:28
  But
• 5:28
  maybe
• 5:29
  we'll
• 5:29
  talk
• 5:29
  about
• 5:29
  that
• 5:29
  next
• 5:30
  time.
• 5:30
  Yeah,
• 5:31
  we'll
• 5:31
  save
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  for
• 5:31
  next
• 5:31
  time.
• 5:32
  I
• 5:32
  do
• 5:32
  have
• 5:32
  one
• 5:32
  fishing
• 5:33
  question
• 5:33
  for
• 5:33
  you
• 5:33
  though.
• 5:33
  So
• 5:34
  like
• 5:34
  with
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  rain
• 5:35
  that
• 5:35
  you're
• 5:35
  getting,
• 5:35
  say
• 5:36
  fishing
• 5:36
  downstream
• 5:37
  before
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  doe
• 5:37
  comes
• 5:38
  into
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  Watauga,
• 5:38
  are
• 5:38
  you
• 5:39
  getting
• 5:39
  like
• 5:39
  a
• 5:39
  really
• 5:40
  nice
• 5:40
  kind
• 5:40
  of
• 5:41
  like
• 5:41
  muddy
• 5:41
  plume
• 5:42
  coming
• 5:42
  out
• 5:42
  of
• 5:42
  the
• 5:42
  doe
• 5:42
  that's
• 5:43
  good
• 5:43
  for
• 5:43
  streamer
• 5:43
  fishing.
• 5:44
  Yeah.
• 5:45
  So
• 5:48
  this
• 5:49
  is,
• 5:51
  we
• 5:51
  are
• 5:52
  jumping
• 5:52
  into
• 5:52
  like
• 5:53
  hyper
• 5:54
  local
• 5:55
  in
• 5:55
  terms
• 5:55
  of
• 5:55
  both
• 5:56
  what
• 5:56
  I'm
• 5:57
  about
• 5:57
  to
• 5:57
  talk
• 5:57
  about
• 5:57
  and
• 5:58
  also
• 5:58
  specifically
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  rainfall.
• 6:00
  We
• 6:01
  can
• 6:01
  get
• 6:02
  dumped
• 6:02
  on
• 6:03
  where
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  little
• 6:04
  ag
• 6:05
  creeks
• 6:05
  are
• 6:05
  putting
• 6:06
  out
• 6:06
  color
• 6:06
  that,
• 6:07
  let's
• 6:08
  say
• 6:08
  I'm
• 6:08
  passing
• 6:08
  like
• 6:08
  the
• 6:09
  lower
• 6:09
  end
• 6:09
  or
• 6:10
  like
• 6:10
  I'm
• 6:10
  picking
• 6:10
  someone
• 6:11
  up
• 6:11
  on
• 6:11
  the,
• 6:12
  on
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  lower
• 6:13
  end
• 6:15
  and
• 6:15
  it's,
• 6:15
  you
• 6:16
  know,
• 6:16
  it's
• 6:16
  off,
• 6:16
  it's,
• 6:17
  it's
• 6:17
  pretty
• 6:17
  colored
• 6:18
  up
• 6:19
  and
• 6:20
  we're
• 6:20
  doing
• 6:20
  a
• 6:20
  big
• 6:20
  run.
• 6:21
  Go
• 6:21
  up
• 6:21
  above
• 6:21
  the
• 6:22
  dough.
• 6:22
  We
• 6:22
  come
• 6:22
  by
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  dough
• 6:24
  and
• 6:24
  it's
• 6:24
  low
• 6:24
  and
• 6:25
  clear.
• 6:26
  And
• 6:26
  so
• 6:27
  other
• 6:27
  times
• 6:28
  it's
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  opposite.
• 6:28
  The
• 6:29
  little
• 6:29
  ant
• 6:29
  creeks,
• 6:30
  the
• 6:30
  little
• 6:30
  streams
• 6:30
  that
• 6:30
  are
• 6:31
  around
• 6:31
  here
• 6:32
  are,
• 6:34
  are,
• 6:35
  are
• 6:35
  clear
• 6:36
  and
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  dough
• 6:36
  is
• 6:37
  just
• 6:38
  shoe
• 6:38
  scene.
• 6:38
  And
• 6:39
  it's,
• 6:39
  it's
• 6:40
  that
• 6:41
  fully
• 6:41
  frothed
• 6:42
  latte
• 6:43
  brown
• 6:45
  that
• 6:47
  I
• 6:47
  love
• 6:48
  for
• 6:50
  both
• 6:50
  for
• 6:50
  streamer
• 6:51
  fishing,
• 6:51
  for
• 6:52
  browns
• 6:52
  and,
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  for
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  prospect
• 6:53
  of
• 6:54
  catching
• 6:54
  stripers.
• 6:57
  I
• 6:57
  don't
• 6:58
  like
• 6:58
  it
• 6:58
  for
• 6:58
  mousing.
• 6:59
  So
• 7:00
  it's.
• 7:01
  I
• 7:02
  just.
• 7:02
  I
• 7:02
  want
• 7:02
  my.
• 7:03
  To
• 7:03
  have
• 7:03
  my
• 7:03
  cake
• 7:04
  in
• 7:04
  here
• 7:04
  too.
• 7:05
  But
• 7:05
  yeah,
• 7:05
  Short
• 7:06
  answer
• 7:06
  is
• 7:06
  yes.
• 7:06
  There's
• 7:07
  been.
• 7:08
  There's.
• 7:08
  There
• 7:09
  continues
• 7:09
  to
• 7:10
  be
• 7:10
  a
• 7:10
  good
• 7:10
  amount
• 7:10
  of
• 7:10
  color
• 7:11
  in
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  water,
• 7:11
  so
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  browns
• 7:14
  respond
• 7:15
  positively
• 7:15
  to
• 7:16
  that.
• 7:16
  Well,
• 7:17
  there
• 7:17
  you
• 7:17
  go.
• 7:17
  Well,
• 7:17
  we've
• 7:17
  got
• 7:17
  a
• 7:17
  question
• 7:18
  from
• 7:18
  Rodrigo
• 7:19
  and
• 7:19
  he.
• 7:20
  He
• 7:20
  listens
• 7:20
  to
• 7:20
  a
• 7:20
  lot
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  our
• 7:21
  stuff
• 7:21
  and
• 7:22
  he
• 7:22
  wanted
• 7:22
  to
• 7:22
  have
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  explain
• 7:24
  how
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  grade
• 7:25
  your
• 7:25
  bucktails.
• 7:28
  Yeah.
• 7:29
  So
• 7:32
  this
• 7:32
  has
• 7:33
  been
• 7:33
  like
• 7:33
  everything
• 7:34
  else
• 7:36
  that
• 7:36
  there's
• 7:36
  been
• 7:37
  sort
• 7:37
  of
• 7:37
  an
• 7:38
  evolution
• 7:38
  in
• 7:38
  the
• 7:39
  process.
• 7:40
  And
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  short
• 7:43
  answer
• 7:43
  is
• 7:46
  how
• 7:46
  rude
• 7:46
  of
• 7:47
  me.
• 7:49
  The
• 7:49
  short
• 7:49
  answer
• 7:50
  is
• 7:52
  there
• 7:53
  are
• 7:53
  five
• 7:53
  grades.
• 7:56
  Grade
• 7:56
  5
• 7:57
  is
• 8:01
  all.
• 8:01
  All
• 8:01
  of
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  tails
• 8:02
  are.
• 8:03
  I
• 8:03
  had
• 8:03
  someone
• 8:03
  ask
• 8:04
  if,
• 8:04
  you
• 8:04
  know,
• 8:04
  if
• 8:04
  there
• 8:05
  should
• 8:05
  be
• 8:06
  some
• 8:06
  sort
• 8:06
  of
• 8:08
  laundering.
• 8:09
  Like
• 8:09
  if
• 8:09
  some
• 8:10
  like
• 8:10
  they
• 8:10
  should.
• 8:11
  They
• 8:11
  wash
• 8:11
  it
• 8:11
  when
• 8:11
  they
• 8:12
  get
• 8:12
  it.
• 8:12
  I
• 8:12
  was
• 8:12
  like,
• 8:13
  dude,
• 8:13
  these
• 8:14
  tails
• 8:14
  are
• 8:15
  clean
• 8:16
  enough
• 8:16
  to
• 8:16
  eat
• 8:17
  off
• 8:17
  of
• 8:17
  when
• 8:17
  you
• 8:18
  get
• 8:18
  them.
• 8:18
  And
• 8:18
  I
• 8:18
  brush
• 8:19
  them
• 8:19
  out
• 8:19
  so
• 8:19
  they're.
• 8:20
  They're
• 8:20
  fun
• 8:21
  to
• 8:21
  tie.
• 8:21
  Like,
• 8:21
  they're
• 8:22
  easy
• 8:22
  to
• 8:22
  tie
• 8:22
  with.
• 8:24
  And
• 8:24
  so
• 8:24
  what
• 8:24
  you
• 8:24
  get
• 8:25
  with
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  grade
• 8:25
  five
• 8:26
  is
• 8:26
  something
• 8:26
  that
• 8:27
  is
• 8:28
  slightly
• 8:29
  cheaper,
• 8:31
  a
• 8:32
  lower
• 8:32
  price
• 8:32
  point
• 8:33
  than
• 8:34
  the.
• 8:36
  The,
• 8:37
  you
• 8:37
  know,
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  large
• 8:38
  distributors
• 8:39
  and
• 8:40
  is.
• 8:41
  Is
• 8:42
  in
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  like
• 8:43
  3.5
• 8:44
  inch
• 8:45
  range.
• 8:45
  I
• 8:45
  have
• 8:45
  so
• 8:45
  many
• 8:46
  tails
• 8:46
  that
• 8:46
  I
• 8:46
  don't
• 8:47
  actually
• 8:48
  price
• 8:49
  for
• 8:49
  sale,
• 8:50
  um,
• 8:51
  just
• 8:51
  because
• 8:51
  they're
• 8:52
  a
• 8:52
  little
• 8:52
  wimpy.
• 8:53
  So
• 8:53
  the
• 8:54
  grade
• 8:54
  fives
• 8:54
  are
• 8:54
  like
• 8:55
  reliably
• 8:57
  A,
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  know,
• 8:59
  3,
• 9:00
  3.5
• 9:00
  inch,
• 9:02
  not
• 9:02
  that
• 9:02
  big
• 9:02
  tail,
• 9:03
  but,
• 9:04
  you
• 9:04
  know,
• 9:05
  you're
• 9:05
  not
• 9:05
  getting
• 9:05
  junk.
• 9:06
  Grand
• 9:07
  four
• 9:07
  is
• 9:10
  it
• 9:10
  basically
• 9:11
  selected
• 9:12
  as
• 9:14
  something
• 9:14
  that's,
• 9:16
  you
• 9:16
  know,
• 9:16
  80,
• 9:17
  20,
• 9:18
  most
• 9:18
  of
• 9:19
  the
• 9:19
  time
• 9:20
  gonna
• 9:20
  be
• 9:20
  better
• 9:21
  than
• 9:21
  what
• 9:21
  you're
• 9:21
  gonna
• 9:22
  get
• 9:22
  in
• 9:22
  the
• 9:23
  shop
• 9:24
  or
• 9:24
  online
• 9:25
  or
• 9:25
  whatever
• 9:26
  for
• 9:27
  the
• 9:27
  same
• 9:27
  price,
• 9:29
  you
• 9:30
  know,
• 9:30
  3.5
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  4
• 9:31
  inch
• 9:31
  fibers
• 9:33
  and
• 9:33
  people
• 9:33
  throw
• 9:34
  around
• 9:34
  numbers
• 9:34
  like
• 9:35
  5
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  6
• 9:35
  inches.
• 9:36
  That's
• 9:37
  if
• 9:37
  you've
• 9:37
  seen
• 9:38
  a
• 9:38
  tail
• 9:38
  with
• 9:38
  6
• 9:38
  inch
• 9:39
  fiber.
• 9:39
  With
• 9:39
  lots
• 9:40
  of
• 9:40
  6
• 9:40
  inch
• 9:40
  fibers
• 9:41
  that
• 9:41
  aren't
• 9:41
  just
• 9:41
  outliers,
• 9:43
  they
• 9:43
  look
• 9:44
  insane.
• 9:47
  The
• 9:48
  grade
• 9:48
  threes
• 9:49
  are.
• 9:50
  I
• 9:50
  think
• 9:51
  that's
• 9:51
  kind
• 9:51
  of
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  sweet
• 9:51
  spot
• 9:52
  where
• 9:53
  you
• 9:53
  can
• 9:53
  be
• 9:54
  tying
• 9:54
  really
• 9:54
  big
• 9:55
  flies.
• 9:55
  And
• 9:57
  they're,
• 9:58
  you
• 9:58
  know,
• 9:58
  they
• 9:59
  got
• 9:59
  the.
• 9:59
  The
• 9:59
  four
• 10:00
  to
• 10:00
  four
• 10:00
  and
• 10:00
  a
• 10:00
  half,
• 10:01
  maybe
• 10:01
  with
• 10:01
  some
• 10:01
  outliers
• 10:02
  that
• 10:02
  are
• 10:02
  longer.
• 10:04
  They're
• 10:04
  pretty
• 10:05
  full.
• 10:06
  The,
• 10:06
  the
• 10:06
  grade
• 10:07
  two,
• 10:08
  it
• 10:08
  is
• 10:09
  a
• 10:09
  really
• 10:10
  big
• 10:10
  tale
• 10:10
  with
• 10:10
  long
• 10:11
  fibers.
• 10:12
  And
• 10:15
  at
• 10:15
  that
• 10:16
  point,
• 10:16
  it's
• 10:16
  like
• 10:18
  I'm
• 10:19
  pricing
• 10:19
  them
• 10:19
  at
• 10:19
  25
• 10:20
  bucks
• 10:20
  for
• 10:20
  a
• 10:20
  reason.
• 10:21
  If
• 10:21
  the
• 10:21
  supply
• 10:22
  and
• 10:22
  demand
• 10:22
  curve
• 10:23
  actually
• 10:24
  existed
• 10:25
  for
• 10:25
  bucktail
• 10:26
  and
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  tails
• 10:29
  you
• 10:29
  normally
• 10:29
  see
• 10:30
  sell
• 10:30
  for,
• 10:30
  you

  know,

  15,
• 10:31
  16,
• 10:31
  17
• 10:32
  bucks.
• 10:33
  The
• 10:33
  grade
• 10:34
  twos
• 10:34
  on
• 10:35
  that
• 10:35
  supply

  curve
• 10:36
  would
• 10:36
  be
• 10:37
  like
• 10:38
  $200
• 10:38
  or
• 10:39
  more.
• 10:39
  I
• 10:39
  mean,
• 10:39
  it's
• 10:40
  just
• 10:40
  that.
• 10:40
  So
• 10:41
  there
• 10:41
  aren't
• 10:41
  that
• 10:41
  many
• 10:41
  of
• 10:41
  those.
• 10:42
  The
• 10:42
  grade
• 10:42
  ones
• 10:43
  are
• 10:43
  the,
• 10:44
  the
• 10:45
  ones
• 10:45
  that
• 10:45
  you
• 10:45
  just
• 10:46
  don't
• 10:46
  see
• 10:49
  and
• 10:49
  they're
• 10:49
  very
• 10:49
  big.
• 10:50
  And
• 10:50
  so
• 10:50
  those
• 10:51
  I,
• 10:52
  I
• 10:52
  tend
• 10:52
  to
• 10:52
  have,
• 10:53
  you
• 10:53
  know,
• 10:53
  that
• 10:53
  that

• 10:54
  represent
• 10:55
  somewhere
• 10:55
  between
