  started
• 0:19
  recording
• 0:20

• 0:20
  I

• 0:20
  in
• 0:21
  your
• 0:21
  neck
• 0:21
  of
• 0:21
  the
• 0:21
  woods,
• 0:22
  you
• 0:22
  know,
• 0:23
  at
• 0:23
  least
• 0:23
  from
• 0:23
  a
• 0:23
  fishing
• 0:24
  perspective,
• 0:24
  things
• 0:25
  have
• 0:25
  started
• 0:25
  to
• 0:25
  kind
• 0:25
  of
• 0:25
  normalize
• 0:26
  post
• 0:27
  hurricane.
• 0:29
  Oh,
• 0:29
  yeah,
• 0:30
  we
• 0:31
  have.
• 0:31
  We've
• 0:31
  been
• 0:32
  musky
• 0:32
  fishing
• 0:32
  on
• 0:33
  the
• 0:33
  new
• 0:34
  for
• 0:34
  a
• 0:34
  couple
• 0:35
  of
• 0:35
  weeks
• 0:35
  now.
• 0:37
  The
• 0:38
  kind
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  dirty
• 0:39
  water
• 0:40
  coming
• 0:40
  out
• 0:40
  of
• 0:40
  Crater
• 0:41
  Lake
• 0:41
  is
• 0:42
  now
• 0:42
  in
• 0:42
  the
• 0:43
  past.
• 0:45
  Like
• 0:46
  97%
• 0:47
  of
• 0:47
  the
• 0:47
  boat
• 0:47
  ramps
• 0:48
  and
• 0:48
  access
• 0:48
  points
• 0:49
  on
• 0:49
  the
• 0:50
  system
• 0:50
  are
• 0:50
  back
• 0:51
  in
• 0:51
  usable
• 0:52
  shape.
• 0:54
  Especially,
• 0:55
  you
• 0:55
  know,
• 0:55
  if
• 0:56
  you've
• 0:56
  got
• 0:56
  a,
• 0:56
  a
• 0:57
  raft
• 0:57
  or
• 0:57
  something.
• 0:58
  You
• 0:58
  can,
• 0:58
  you
• 0:59
  can
• 1:00
  not
• 1:00
  necessarily
• 1:01
  have
• 1:01
  to
• 1:01
  back
• 1:02
  all
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  way
• 1:02
  to
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  river.
• 1:04
  So,
• 1:05
  yeah,
• 1:05
  we're,
• 1:05
  we're
• 1:05
  kind
• 1:06
  of
• 1:06
  in
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  swing
• 1:07
  of
• 1:07
  things
• 1:07
  now.
• 1:08
  It's
• 1:08
  been
• 1:08
  nice.
• 1:09
  Yeah.
• 1:09
  And
• 1:09
  you
• 1:10
  were
• 1:10
  telling
• 1:10
  me
• 1:10
  that
• 1:11
  below
• 1:11
  Clater
• 1:12
  Lake
• 1:12
  that
• 1:12
  you
• 1:12
  actually
• 1:12
  got
• 1:13
  a
• 1:13
  little
• 1:13
  bit
• 1:13
  of
• 1:13
  stain
• 1:13
  in
• 1:13
  the
• 1:14
  water,
• 1:14
  so
• 1:14
  it's
• 1:14
  actually
• 1:14
  making
• 1:15
  things
• 1:15
  a
• 1:15
  little
• 1:15
  bit
• 1:15
  more
• 1:15
  productive
• 1:16
  than
• 1:16
  normal.
• 1:18
  Yeah,
• 1:18
  it's,
• 1:18
  I
• 1:19
  mean,
• 1:19
  it's,
• 1:19
  it's
• 1:20
  slowly
• 1:20
  becoming
• 1:21
  less
• 1:21
  and
• 1:21
  less
• 1:21
  stain,
• 1:22
  but
• 1:22
  it's,
• 1:23
  you
• 1:23
  know,
• 1:23
  it's
• 1:23
  not
• 1:23
  the
• 1:24
  gin
• 1:25
  clarity
• 1:26
  that
• 1:26
  we
• 1:27
  would
• 1:27
  normally
• 1:28
  have
• 1:28
  with
• 1:28
  the
• 1:29
  amount
• 1:29
  of
• 1:29
  rainfall
• 1:29
  we've
• 1:30
  had
• 1:30
  in
• 1:30
  the
• 1:30
  last
• 1:32
  month
• 1:32
  and
• 1:34
  you
• 1:34
  know,
• 1:35
  low
• 1:35
  water
• 1:35
  this
• 1:36
  time
• 1:36
  of
• 1:36
  year.
• 1:37
  So
• 1:37
  that,
• 1:38
  that
• 1:38
  has
• 1:38
  been
• 1:38
  nice
• 1:39
  to
• 1:39
  have
• 1:39
  that
• 1:39
  little
• 1:39
  bit
• 1:40
  of
• 1:42
  fail,
• 1:43
  you
• 1:43
  know,
• 1:43
  condition
• 1:44
  in
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  water.
• 1:46
  There's
• 1:47
  lots
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  real
• 1:47
  clear
• 1:48
  water
• 1:48
  in
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  system
• 1:49
  too.
• 1:49
  Just
• 1:50
  depends
• 1:50
  on,
• 1:51
  on,
• 1:51
  on
• 1:51
  where
• 1:52
  you,
• 1:52
  where
• 1:52
  you
• 1:53
  are.
• 1:54
  And
• 1:55
  that's,
• 1:55
  you
• 1:55
  know,
• 1:55
  that's
• 1:55
  not
• 1:55
  necessarily
• 1:56
  a
• 1:56
  bad
• 1:56
  thing.
• 1:56
  I
• 1:57
  feel
• 1:57
  like
• 1:57
  every
• 1:57
  year,
• 1:57
  this
• 1:58
  time
• 1:58
  of
• 1:58
  year
• 1:58
  we're
• 1:58
  talking
• 1:59
  about
• 1:59
  low,
• 2:00
  clear
• 2:00
  water
• 2:00
  and
• 2:01
  how
• 2:01
  it
• 2:01
  makes
• 2:01
  fishing
• 2:02
  really
• 2:02
  tough,
• 2:02
  but
• 2:03
  it's
• 2:04
  not
• 2:04
  always
• 2:04
  the
• 2:05
  case.
• 2:05
  And
• 2:06
  I
• 2:06
  mean,
• 2:06
  you've
• 2:06
  had
• 2:07
  a
• 2:07
  fair
• 2:08
  number
• 2:08
  of
• 2:08
  boat
• 2:09
  side
• 2:09
  eats
• 2:10
  in
• 2:10
  the
• 2:10
  last
• 2:11
  week
• 2:11
  or
• 2:11
  two,
• 2:12
  even
• 2:13
  in
• 2:13
  really,
• 2:14
  really
• 2:14
  clear
• 2:14
  water
• 2:15
  and
• 2:15
  sunny
• 2:15
  days.
• 2:16
  So
• 2:17
  just
• 2:18
  about
• 2:19
  fishing
• 2:19
  your
• 2:20
  conditions
• 2:20
  and,
• 2:22
  you
• 2:22
  know,
• 2:23
  putting
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  reps
• 2:24
  in
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  trying
• 2:24
  to
• 2:25
  do
• 2:25
  everything
• 2:25
  right
• 2:25
  when
• 2:26
  it
• 2:26
  counts.
• 2:26
  Yeah.
• 2:27
  And
• 2:27
  you
• 2:27
  know,
• 2:27
  hopefully
• 2:28
  it'll
• 2:28
  cool
• 2:28
  off
• 2:28
  at
• 2:29
  some
• 2:29
  point.
• 2:29
  Right?
• 2:30
  Yeah,
• 2:31
  we're,
• 2:31
  we're
• 2:32
  getting
• 2:32
  there.
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  mean,
• 2:33
  we've
• 2:33
  got
• 2:34
  low
• 2:34
  to
• 2:35
  mid-60s,
• 2:36
  depending
• 2:36
  on
• 2:36
  where
• 2:37
  you
• 2:37
  are,
• 2:38
  water
• 2:38
  temps
• 2:39
  and
• 2:40
  parts
• 2:40
  of
• 2:40
  the
• 2:41
  region.
• 2:42
  And
• 2:42
  Tom,
• 2:43
  you
• 2:43
  know,
• 2:43
  that's
• 2:44
  thanks
• 2:44
  to,
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  know,
• 2:45
  lows
• 2:46
  in
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  40s
• 2:47
  and
• 2:47
  50s
• 2:47
  and
• 2:48
  highs
• 2:48
  close
• 2:48
  to
• 2:49
  80
• 2:49
  for
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  last
• 2:50
  couple
• 2:50
  of
• 2:51
  weeks.
• 2:51
  Lots
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  sun,
• 2:52
  not
• 2:53
  a
• 2:53
  lot
• 2:53
  of
• 2:53
  clouds,
• 2:54
  but
• 2:55
  that's
• 2:55
  that's
• 2:56
  change.
• 2:56
  It's
• 2:57
  changed
• 2:57
  in
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  last
• 2:58
  couple
• 2:58
  days
• 2:58
  and
• 2:58
  it's
• 2:58
  fixing
• 2:59
  to
• 2:59
  change
• 2:59
  even
• 3:00
  more.
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  think
• 3:00
  tonight.
• 3:03
  It's
• 3:03
  been
• 3:03
  fairly
• 3:04
  breezy
• 3:04
  this
• 3:04
  week.
• 3:05
  It's
• 3:05
  pushing
• 3:05
  in
• 3:05
  some,
• 3:07
  some
• 3:07
  cooler
• 3:07
  weather.
• 3:08
  We're
• 3:09
  supposed
• 3:09
  to
• 3:09
  have
• 3:09
  lows
• 3:10
  in
• 3:10
  the,
• 3:10
  around
• 3:11
  freezing
• 3:12
  a
• 3:12
  little
• 3:12
  above
• 3:13
  and
• 3:14
  you
• 3:14
  know,
• 3:14
  highs
• 3:15
  in
• 3:15
  the
• 3:16
  40s
• 3:16
  and
• 3:17
  50s
• 3:17
  and
• 3:17
  that,
• 3:18
  that's
• 3:18
  going
• 3:18
  to
• 3:18
  stick
• 3:19
  around
• 3:19
  at
• 3:19
  least,
• 3:20
  you
• 3:20
  know,
• 3:20
  for
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  extended
• 3:21
  forecast.
• 3:22
  So
• 3:23
  I
• 3:23
  kind
• 3:23
  of
• 3:23
  like
• 3:24
  that.
• 3:24
  You
• 3:24
  know,
• 3:24
  I
• 3:24
  generally
• 3:25
  like
• 3:25
  things
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  be
• 3:26
  seasonal
• 3:27
  and
• 3:27
  that'll,
• 3:27
  that'll
• 3:28
  align
• 3:28
  us
• 3:29
  fairly
• 3:29
  well.
• 3:31
  I
• 3:31
  usually
• 3:31
  look
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  have
• 3:32
  like
• 3:32
  mid-40s
• 3:34
  dumps
• 3:35
  by
• 3:35
  the
• 3:36
  end
• 3:36
  of
• 3:36
  Thanksgiving
• 3:37
  pretty
• 3:37
  typically,
• 3:39
  so
• 3:39
  hopefully
• 3:40
  that
• 3:40
  gets
• 3:40
  us
• 3:40
  on
• 3:40
  track
• 3:41
  there.
• 3:42
  Yeah,
• 3:42
  and
• 3:42
  got
• 3:42
  an
• 3:43
  interesting
• 3:43
  question
• 3:43
  for
• 3:43
  you
• 3:44
  too.
• 3:45
  Got
• 3:45
  a
• 3:45
  bunch
• 3:45
  the
• 3:46
  last
• 3:46
  time,
• 3:46
  as
• 3:46
  I
• 3:46
  told
• 3:46
  you.
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  think
• 3:47
  when
• 3:47
  we
• 3:47
  start
• 3:47
  putting
• 3:47
  out
• 3:48
  musky
• 3:48
  pictures,
• 3:48
  people
• 3:49
  get
• 3:49
  excited
• 3:49
  and
• 3:49
  they
• 3:50
  respond
• 3:50
  better.
• 3:52
  Yeah.
• 3:53
  Well,
• 3:54
  good
• 3:54
  to
• 3:55
  know
• 3:55
  what
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  people
• 3:55
  want.
• 3:56
  Yeah,
• 3:56
  well,
• 3:56
  it's
• 3:56
  a
• 3:57
  good
• 3:57
  top
• 3:57
  secret
• 3:58
  social
• 3:58
  media
• 3:58
  hack,
• 3:59
  right?
• 4:00
  Uh,
• 4:00
  yeah,
• 4:00
  that's
• 4:01
  right.
• 4:01
  So,
• 4:02
  question.
• 4:03
  Um,
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  it
• 4:04
  was
• 4:04
  Ninja
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  I
• 4:04
  can't
• 4:05
  remember
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  other
• 4:05
  part
• 4:05
  of
• 4:05
  his
• 4:06
  Instagram
• 4:06
  handle,
• 4:06
  but
• 4:06
  he
• 4:07
  wanted
• 4:07
  to
• 4:07
  get
• 4:07
  your
• 4:07
  thoughts
• 4:08
  on
• 4:09
  fly
• 4:09
  line
• 4:10
  and
• 4:10
  fly
• 4:10
  choice
• 4:11
  for
• 4:11
  fishing.
• 4:12
  Fall
• 4:12
  low
• 4:13
  water
• 4:13
  when
• 4:13
  you're
• 4:14
  in
• 4:14
  a
• 4:14
  smaller
• 4:14
  river
• 4:15
  system.
• 4:17
  Yeah,
• 4:18
  that's
• 4:18
  a,
• 4:19
  that's
• 4:19
  a,
• 4:19
  that's
• 4:19
  a
• 4:20
  good
• 4:20
  question.
• 4:21
  Um,
• 4:22
  I,
• 4:23
  I'll
• 4:23
  start
• 4:23
  with
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  low
• 4:24
  water
• 4:24
  part.
• 4:26
  There's
• 4:27
  a
• 4:28
  low
• 4:28
  water
• 4:28
  generally
• 4:29
  means
• 4:29
  one,
• 4:30
  you
• 4:30
  know,
• 4:30
  not
• 4:30
  being,
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  know
• 4:33
  this
• 4:33
  is
• 4:34
  obvious,
• 4:34
  but
• 4:36
  it's
• 4:36
  going
• 4:36
  to
• 4:37
  be
• 4:37
  relatively
• 4:38
  shallow
• 4:38
  to
• 4:39
  sort
• 4:40
  of
• 4:40
  what
• 4:40
  is
• 4:40
  typical
• 4:41
  in
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  river
• 4:42
  system.
• 4:43
  It
• 4:43
  also
• 4:43
  generally
• 4:44
  means
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  speed
• 4:45
  of
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  current
• 4:46
  is
• 4:46
  not
• 4:48
  very
• 4:48
  significant,
• 4:49
  which
• 4:50
  just
• 4:50
  means
• 4:50
  that
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  denser
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  line
• 4:52
  you're
• 4:52
  fishing,
• 4:54
  you
• 4:54
  know,
• 4:55
  if
• 4:55
  you're,
• 4:55
  if
• 4:55
  you're
• 4:55
  fishing
• 4:56
  a
• 4:56
  3,
• 4:56
  5,
• 4:57
  7
• 4:57
  or
• 4:57
  a
• 4:58
  tide
• 4:58
  5
• 4:59
  or
• 4:59
  something
• 4:59
  like
• 4:59
  that,
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  maybe
• 5:00
  get
• 5:01
  down
• 5:01
  too
• 5:01
  quickly.
• 5:03
  And
• 5:03
  it
• 5:04
  also,
• 5:04
  you
• 5:04
  know,
• 5:04
  anytime
• 5:05
  you're
• 5:05
  muskie
• 5:05
  fishing,
• 5:06
  especially
• 5:07
  if
• 5:07
  you're
• 5:07
  fishing
• 5:08
  sort
• 5:09
  of,
• 5:09
  you
• 5:09
  know,
• 5:10
  Buford
• 5:11
  T
• 5:12
  bone,
• 5:12
  you
• 5:13
  know,
• 5:13
  glider
• 5:14
  kind
• 5:14
  of
• 5:15
  jackknifey
• 5:16
  flies,
• 5:19
  being
• 5:19
  able
• 5:19
  to
• 5:20
  not
• 5:21
  be
• 5:21
  rushed
• 5:22
  on
• 5:22
  your,
• 5:23
  on
• 5:23
  your
• 5:23
  retrieve
• 5:24
  is,
• 5:25
  is
• 5:25
  invaluable.
• 5:26
  You
• 5:26
  know,
• 5:26
  you
• 5:26
  don't
• 5:26
  want
• 5:26
  to
• 5:27
  be.
• 5:27
  It
• 5:28
  pays
• 5:28
  to
• 5:28
  fish
• 5:29
  flies
• 5:29
  fast
• 5:29
  sometimes.
• 5:30
  But
• 5:30
  if
• 5:30
  you
• 5:30
  got
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  fly
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  does
• 5:31
  a
• 5:32
  lot
• 5:32
  of
• 5:32
  dog
• 5:33
  walking
• 5:34
  and
• 5:34
  side
• 5:35
  profile
• 5:35
  showing,
• 5:36
  you
• 5:36
  know,
• 5:37
  it's
• 5:37
  nice
• 5:37
  to
• 5:38
  have
• 5:38
  a
• 5:38
  line
• 5:38
  that's
• 5:38
  matched
• 5:39
  well
• 5:39
  to
• 5:39
  the
• 5:40
  depth
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  speed
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  the
• 5:41
  current
• 5:41
  so
• 5:41
  that
• 5:41
  if
• 5:41
  you
• 5:41
  want
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  pause
• 5:42
  it
• 5:43
  for
• 5:43
  three
• 5:44
  or
• 5:44
  four
• 5:44
  seconds,
• 5:45
  you
• 5:45
  could
• 5:45
  do
• 5:46
  that,
• 5:46
  not
• 5:46
  have
• 5:46
  to
• 5:47
  worry
• 5:47
  about
• 5:47
  it,
• 5:48
  shoot
• 5:48
  to
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  bottom.
• 5:49
  So
• 5:49
  I
• 5:49
  mean
• 5:50
  I
• 5:50
  would
• 5:50
  be
• 5:51
  looking
• 5:51
  at
• 5:52
  basically
• 5:53
  anything
• 5:53
  with
• 5:53
  like
• 5:53
  a.
• 5:54
  And
• 5:54
  again,
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  don't
• 5:55
  know
• 5:55
  where
• 5:55
  you're
• 5:56
  fishing,
• 5:56
  but
• 5:56
  if
• 5:57
  I'm
• 5:57
  thinking
• 5:58
  shallow,
• 5:59
  small
• 5:59
  river,
• 6:00
  you
• 6:00
  know,
• 6:00
  something
• 6:00
  with
• 6:01
  like
• 6:01
  a
• 6:01
  3
• 6:01
  inch
• 6:02
  per
• 6:02
  second
• 6:02
  or
• 6:02
  less
• 6:03
  sink
• 6:04
  rate.
• 6:04
  So
• 6:04
  that
• 6:04
  may
• 6:05
  be
• 6:05
  an
• 6:05
  intermediate,
• 6:07
  that
• 6:07
  may
• 6:08
  be
• 6:08
  like
• 6:08
  an
• 6:08
  i35SA
• 6:11
  triple
• 6:11
  density
• 6:12
  line.
• 6:13
  It
• 6:13
  may
• 6:13
  just
• 6:13
  be
• 6:14
  a
• 6:14
  sink
• 6:14
  tip.
• 6:15
  You
• 6:15
  know,
• 6:15
  you've
• 6:16
  got
• 6:16
  a
• 6:16
  floating
• 6:16
  running
• 6:17
  line
• 6:18
  because
• 6:18
  you're
• 6:18
  probably
• 6:18
  not
• 6:19
  making
• 6:19
  real
• 6:19
  long
• 6:20
  casts
• 6:20
  anyway.
• 6:22
  And
• 6:23
  to
• 6:23
  that
• 6:23
  end,
• 6:24
  you
• 6:24
  know,
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  smaller
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  creek
• 6:26
  generally,
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  more
• 6:29
  it
• 6:29
  pays
• 6:29
  to
• 6:29
  have
• 6:30
  a
• 6:30
  kind
• 6:30
  of
• 6:31
  a
• 6:31
  more
• 6:31
  compact
• 6:32
  head
• 6:32
  in
• 6:32
  your
• 6:32
  fly
• 6:33
  line
• 6:33
  so
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  can,
• 6:34
  you
• 6:34
  can,
• 6:35
  you
• 6:35
  know,
• 6:36
  sort
• 6:36
  of
• 6:36
  pull
• 6:36
  your
• 6:36
  fly
• 6:36
  out
• 6:36
  of
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  water
• 6:37
  and
• 6:38
  shoot
• 6:38
  a
• 6:38
  cast
• 6:39
  without
• 6:40
  having
• 6:40
  to
• 6:40
  worry
• 6:40
  about,
• 6:42
  you
• 6:42
  know,
• 6:42
  getting
• 6:43
  a
• 6:43
  big
• 6:43
  head
• 6:43
  out
• 6:43
  of
• 6:44
  your
• 6:44
  rod
• 6:44
  tip.
• 6:46
  So
• 6:46
  those
• 6:46
  are
• 6:47
  considerations.
• 6:49
  Cortland
• 6:49
  makes
• 6:50
  a
• 6:50
  pretty
• 6:50
  good
• 6:51
  intermediate
• 6:53
  line
• 6:55
  as
• 6:55
  well.
• 6:55
  Musky
• 6:56
  line.
• 6:58
  But
• 6:59
  that
• 6:59
  i35
• 7:00
  or
• 7:00
  like
• 7:00
  a
• 7:01
  type
• 7:01
  3
• 7:02
  sink
• 7:02
  tip
• 7:03
  from
• 7:03
  SA
• 7:04
  would
• 7:04
  probably
• 7:05
  be
• 7:06
  what
• 7:06
  I
• 7:06
  would
• 7:06
  recommend
• 7:07
  you
• 7:07
  start
• 7:07
  with.
• 7:08
  You
• 7:08
  know,
• 7:08
  again,
• 7:08
  not
• 7:09
  necessarily
• 7:09
  knowing
• 7:10
  where
• 7:10
  you're
• 7:11
  fishing.
• 7:13
  Another
• 7:13
  thing
• 7:13
  that
• 7:14
  might
• 7:14
  come
• 7:15
  into
• 7:16
  play
• 7:17
  that
• 7:17
  will
• 7:18
  impact
• 7:18
  your
• 7:18
  line
• 7:18
  choice
• 7:19
  is,
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  know,
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  type
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  flyer
• 7:22
  fishing,
• 7:22
  the
• 7:23
  type
• 7:23
  of
• 7:23
  presentation
• 7:23
  you're
• 7:24
  using.
• 7:24
  So
• 7:25
  if
• 7:25
  you're
• 7:25
  not
• 7:26
  fishing
• 7:27
  a
• 7:27
  standard,
• 7:28
  you
• 7:28
  know,
• 7:29
  Buford
• 7:29
  or
• 7:30
  something
• 7:31
  that's
• 7:31
  designed
• 7:31
  to
• 7:32
  kick
• 7:32
  back
• 7:32
  and
• 7:32
  forth
• 7:33
  and
• 7:33
  walk
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  dog,
• 7:34
  maybe
• 7:35
  you're
• 7:35
  fishing
• 7:35
  something,
• 7:37
  you
• 7:37
  know,
• 7:37
  you've
• 7:37
  got
• 7:38
  warm
• 7:38
  water
• 7:38
  in
• 7:38
  the
• 7:39
  60s
• 7:39
  and
• 7:39
  you're
• 7:39
  trying
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  fish
• 7:41
  with
• 7:42
  speed.
• 7:42
  You
• 7:42
  know,
• 7:43
  two
• 7:43
  hand
• 7:43
  retrieving,
• 7:44
  stuff
• 7:44
  like
• 7:44
  that,
• 7:46
  it,
• 7:46
  it
• 7:47
  does
• 7:47
  pay
• 7:47
  in
• 7:47
  those
• 7:48
  situations.
• 7:48
  Have
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  little
• 7:49
  bit
• 7:49
  more
• 7:49
  density
• 7:49
  in
• 7:49
  your
• 7:50
  line
• 7:50
  because
• 7:51
  if
• 7:51
  you're
• 7:51
  going
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  be
• 7:51
  fishing
• 7:52
  real
• 7:53
  fast,
• 7:53
  you
• 7:53
  know,
• 7:54
  shooting
• 7:54
  a
• 7:55
  fly
• 7:55
  to
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  log
• 7:56
  jam,
• 7:57
  you
• 7:57
  know,
• 7:57
  being
• 7:57
  into
• 7:57
  your
• 7:58
  first
• 7:58
  strip
• 7:58
  by
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  time
• 7:58
  it
• 7:59
  hits
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  water,
• 7:59
  burn
• 8:00
  it
• 8:00
  back
• 8:00
  to
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  boat.
• 8:02
  An
• 8:02
  intermediate
• 8:03
  might
• 8:03
  not
• 8:03
  be
• 8:04
  your
• 8:04
  best
• 8:04
  option
• 8:04
  because
• 8:05
  you're
• 8:05
  going
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  want
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  get
• 8:06
  some
• 8:06
  bite
• 8:07
  in
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  water
• 8:08
  with
• 8:08
  that
• 8:08
  line
• 8:08
  so
• 8:09
  that
• 8:10
  you're
• 8:10
  not
• 8:10
  just
• 8:11
  pulling
• 8:11
  it
• 8:11
  across
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  surface
• 8:12
  and
• 8:13
  it
• 8:13
  can
• 8:13
  get
• 8:13
  down,
• 8:14
  you
• 8:14
  know,
• 8:14
  six
• 8:15
  inches
• 8:15
  or
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  foot
• 8:15
  or
• 8:16
  two.
• 8:17
  So
• 8:17
  in
• 8:18
  that
• 8:18
  situation,
• 8:18
  I
• 8:19
  might
• 8:19
  look
• 8:19
  at
• 8:19
  a
• 8:19
  type
• 8:20
  5
• 8:21
  or
• 8:21
  an
• 8:22
  i35
• 8:23
  or
• 8:23
  something
• 8:24
  like
• 8:24
  that
• 8:24
  that's
• 8:24
  got
• 8:25
  a
• 8:25
  little
• 8:25
  bit
• 8:25
  more
• 8:25
  sink
• 8:26
  rate.
• 8:26
  But
• 8:28
  that
• 8:29
  would
• 8:29
  be.
• 8:30
  I
• 8:30
  don't
• 8:31
  know
• 8:31
  if
• 8:31
  that's
• 8:31
  obvious.
• 8:32
  Those
• 8:33
  would
• 8:33
  be
• 8:33
  my
• 8:33
  suggestions
• 8:35
  in
• 8:36
  terms
• 8:36
  of
• 8:36
  flies.
• 8:37
  I
• 8:37
  mean,
• 8:37
  I
• 8:38
  would
• 8:38
  always
• 8:38
  say
• 8:38
  to
• 8:39
  start
• 8:39
  with,
• 8:42
  you
• 8:42
  know,
• 8:43
  regardless
• 8:44
  of
• 8:45
  size
• 8:45
  and
• 8:46
  color
• 8:47
  and
• 8:47
  all
• 8:47
  that
• 8:47
  stuff,
• 8:48
  you
• 8:48
  know,
• 8:48
  look
• 8:48
  at
• 8:48
  what
• 8:49
  the

  be
• 8:53
  primarily

  hog
• 8:54
  suckers,
• 8:55
  it

  may

  be

  a

• 8:59
  You
• 8:59
  Know
• 8:59
  carp,
• 9:00
  sunfish,
• 9:00
  et
• 9:01

• 9:01
  Figure
• 9:02
  out
• 9:02
  what
• 9:02
  they're
• 9:02
  probably
• 9:03
  eating
• 9:03
  in
• 9:03
  there
• 9:04
  and
• 9:04
  then
• 9:05
  use
• 9:05
  that
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  kind
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  narrow
• 9:06
  down
• 9:07
  your
• 9:07
  size
• 9:08
  and
• 9:08
  profile
• 9:09
  decisions.
• 9:11
  And
• 9:12
  let's
• 9:13
  see,
• 9:14
  generally
• 9:15
  speaking,
• 9:15
  in
• 9:15
  lower
• 9:16
  clear
• 9:16
  water,
• 9:17
  I'm
• 9:17
  going
• 9:17
  to
• 9:17
  lean
• 9:18
  towards,
• 9:19
  you
• 9:19
  know,
• 9:20
  natural
• 9:20
  colors.
• 9:22
  I
• 9:22
  always
• 9:23
  throw
• 9:23
  black
• 9:23
  in
• 9:23
  there.
• 9:24
  I
• 9:24
  like
• 9:24
  black
• 9:24
  just
• 9:24
  about
• 9:25
  all
• 9:25
  the
• 9:25
  time.
• 9:26
  Natural
• 9:27
  colors
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  going
• 9:28
  a
• 9:28
  little
• 9:28
  smaller,
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  clearer
• 9:30
  things
• 9:30
  are.
• 9:31
  You
• 9:31
  know,
• 9:31
  you
• 9:31
  might
• 9:32
  consider
• 9:32
  going
• 9:32
  a
• 9:32
  little
• 9:33
  lighter
• 9:33
  on
• 9:33
  flash,
• 9:35
  but
• 9:36
  not
• 9:36
  necessarily,
• 9:38
  but
• 9:39
  smaller
• 9:39
  bugs.
• 9:40
  Smaller
• 9:41
  bugs
• 9:41
  are
• 9:41
  also
• 9:42
  a
• 9:42
  little
• 9:42
  easier
• 9:42
  to
• 9:43
  depending
• 9:44
  on
• 9:44
  what
• 9:44
  materials
• 9:45
  are
• 9:45
  tied
• 9:45
  out
• 9:46
  of.
• 9:46
  If
• 9:46
  they're
• 9:47
  made
• 9:47
  out
• 9:47
  of
• 9:48
  deer
• 9:48
  air,
• 9:49
  a
• 9:49
  smaller
• 9:49
  bug
• 9:50
  with
• 9:51
  enough
• 9:52
  density
• 9:52
  in
• 9:52
  your
• 9:53
  line
• 9:53
  will
• 9:54
  be
• 9:54
  pretty
• 9:55
  easy
• 9:55
  to
• 9:55
  cast
• 9:55
  and
• 9:56
  it'll
• 9:56
  get
• 9:56
  down
• 9:57
  pretty
• 9:57
  easily.
• 9:58
  You
• 9:59
  know,
• 9:59
  you
• 9:59
  might
• 9:59
  not
• 10:00
  be
• 10:00
  throwing
• 10:00
  your
• 10:00
  big
• 10:01
  14
• 10:01
  inch
• 10:02
  like
• 10:03
  you
• 10:03
  know,
• 10:04
  glider
• 10:05
  style
• 10:05
  flies
• 10:06
  or
• 10:06
  just
• 10:06
  packed
• 10:07
  to
• 10:07
  the
• 10:07
  brim
• 10:07
  with
• 10:08
  bucktail
• 10:09
  because
• 10:09
  you're
• 10:09
  not
• 10:10
  making
• 10:10
  70
• 10:11
  foot
• 10:11
  casts
• 10:11
  and
• 10:12
  digging
• 10:12
  it
• 10:12
  down
• 10:12
  eight
• 10:13
  feet,
• 10:13
  you
• 10:13
  stripping
• 10:14
  it
• 10:14
  back
• 10:14
  to
• 10:14
  the
• 10:14
  boat.
• 10:17
  So
• 10:18
  those
• 10:19
  would
• 10:19
  be,
• 10:20
  would
• 10:20
  be

  my

  Small

  aren't
