  life

  a
• 1:15
  little
• 1:15
  harder,

  technical.
• 1:17
  Long

  leaders,
• 1:18
  lighter
• 1:18
  tippets,
• 1:19
  smaller
• 1:19
  flies
• 1:21
  have
• 1:21
  really
• 1:21
  been
• 1:21
  the
• 1:22
  key
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  success
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  past
• 1:23
  couple
• 1:23
  of
• 1:23
  weeks.
• 1:23
  There's

  So

  those
• 1:28
  terrestrials,
• 1:28
  those
• 1:28
  hoppers,
• 1:29
  beetles,

  crickets,
• 1:30
  small

• 1:32
  been
• 1:32
  working
• 1:32
  good.
• 1:33
  Olives
• 1:33
  have
• 1:33
  been
• 1:34
  around.
• 1:34
  There's
• 1:34
  a
• 1:34
  handful
• 1:35
  of
• 1:35
  Tricos
• 1:35
  here
• 1:35
  and
• 1:36
  there
• 1:36
  still
• 1:36
  in
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  morning.
• 1:37
  You
• 1:37
  know,
• 1:37
  they're
• 1:37
  pretty
• 1:37
  spotty
• 1:38
  right
• 1:38
  now.
• 1:39
  ISOs
• 1:39
  and
• 1:39
  October
• 1:40
  Catus
• 1:40
  have
• 1:40
  been
• 1:40
  good
• 1:41
  on
• 1:41
  like
• 1:41
  pens
• 1:41
  in
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  J.
• 1:42
  There's
• 1:42
  plenty
• 1:42
  of
• 1:43
  those
• 1:43
  bugs
• 1:43
  around,
• 1:43
  so
• 1:43
  if
• 1:43
  you
• 1:44
  want
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  get
• 1:44
  some
• 1:44
  bigger
• 1:44
  dry
• 1:44
  fly
• 1:45
  action,
• 1:45
  look
• 1:45
  for
• 1:45
  them
• 1:46
  and
• 1:47
  just
• 1:47
  check
• 1:47
  them.
• 1:47
  You
• 1:47
  know,
• 1:47
  just.
• 1:48
  Just
• 1:48
  work
• 1:48
  those
• 1:48
  deeper
• 1:49
  slots.
• 1:49
  That's
• 1:49
  really
• 1:49
  where
• 1:50
  most
• 1:50
  of
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  fish
• 1:50
  have
• 1:50
  been.
• 1:51
  You
• 1:51
  know,
• 1:51
  anything
• 1:52
  a
• 1:52
  foot,
• 1:52
  foot
• 1:52
  and
• 1:52
  a
• 1:52
  half,
• 1:53
  two
• 1:53
  feet
• 1:53
  deep.
• 1:53
  That's
• 1:54
  where
• 1:54
  a
• 1:54
  lot
• 1:54
  of
• 1:54
  these
• 1:54
  fish
• 1:54
  are
• 1:55
  holding.
• 1:55
  And
• 1:55
  you
• 1:55
  know,
• 1:56
  conditions
• 1:57
  are
• 1:57
  not
• 1:58
  ideal
• 1:59
  because
• 1:59
  it's
• 1:59
  just
• 2:00
  low
• 2:00
  and
• 2:00
  clear,
• 2:00
  but
• 2:00
  the
• 2:01
  temps
• 2:01
  have
• 2:01
  been
• 2:01
  good,
• 2:01
  so
• 2:02
  don't
• 2:02
  have
• 2:02
  any
• 2:02
  Fear
• 2:02
  going
• 2:03
  out
• 2:03
  there
• 2:03
  and
• 2:03
  catching
• 2:03
  some
• 2:03
  fish.
• 2:04
  There
• 2:05
  you
• 2:05
  go.
• 2:05
  And
• 2:05
  you
• 2:05
  know,
• 2:05
  what
• 2:05
  you
• 2:06
  got
• 2:06
  going
• 2:06
  on
• 2:06
  in
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06

• 2:25
  You

  know,
• 2:25
  we're
• 2:25
  not
• 2:25

  Season

• 2:30
  if
