Speaker 1: brought to you by Superior Air Repair. Coming up, our

Speaker 1: Clark Eisenhower outdoor edition. We've got animals attacking. You want
1:40
Speaker 1: to stay tuned for that. And coming up at the
1:43
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour, we're going to go to Taos,
1:46
Speaker 1: New Mexico. I'm going to have a telephone conversation with
1:49
Speaker 1: guide extraordinaire Nick Streit of the Taos Fly Shop. I've
1:56
Speaker 1: fished with him this summer and almost every summer. His dad, Taylor,
2:00
Speaker 1: is a Hall of Famer in the fly fishing industry.
2:04
Speaker 1: Nick is right there with him and excited to catch
2:07
Speaker 1: up with him. We were with him back in July. Hopefully,
2:11
Speaker 1: they've gotten a little rain up there since then because
2:15
Speaker 1: it was horrible. Don't forget that tomorrow, Ryan and Caleb
2:22
Speaker 1: are in. I'll be visiting with Tony Catalina and Kirk
2:26
Speaker 1: Bowles as we do Every Friday, Monday, we will have
2:30
Speaker 1: the Writers' Roundtable. Before we get into the outdoor portion
2:38
Speaker 1: of our show, we want to hear from the new
2:42
Speaker 1: Arkansas coach, Ryan Silverfield from Memphis. The Piggy people, of course,
2:53
Speaker 1: in town Saturday for a 6 o'clock kickoff. Hogs are 2-2.
3:01
Speaker 1: They're coming off a win over Tulsa, which is a
3:05
Speaker 1: very perplexing team. But that's neither here nor there. Let's
3:10
Speaker 1: hear from Ryan Silverfield a portion of his news conference
3:16
Speaker 1: earlier this week.
3:19
Speaker 6: Looking back on Saturday night, obviously, let me start by
3:22
Speaker 6: saying what a tremendous atmosphere it was. So appreciative of
3:25
Speaker 6: our fans that showed up. the students were great. People
3:29
Speaker 6: sat through the rain, but just a terrific environment and
3:32
Speaker 6: couldn't be more pleased with it. Obviously, the lights and
3:35
Speaker 6: all the things that came along with it just made
3:37
Speaker 6: it for a fun, fun evening.
3:39
Speaker 7: Good, bad, and ugly from the game. Obviously, some growth.
3:43
Speaker 6: I think we continue to show steady improvements every week.
3:47
Speaker 6: But in all three phases, got to see some good stuff.
3:49
Speaker 6: But things certainly, certainly they got to get fixed and
3:52
Speaker 6: get corrected this week.
3:52
Speaker 7: So pleased with that. Obviously, we know we have.
3:54
Speaker 6: A tremendous challenge going on the road and playing at
3:57
Speaker 6: Texas A & M. It's going to be a heck
3:59
Speaker 6: of an environment there. Night game in the SEC is
4:03
Speaker 6: always tough, but there's a reason they were the top
4:05
Speaker 6: 10 in the country preseason. They're one of the most
4:09
Speaker 6: talented teams that we'll see.
4:11
Speaker 7: They got a lot of things.
4:12
Speaker 6: Their head coach has done a tremendous job. They have
4:15
Speaker 6: a three-year starting quarterback. They've got a defense that's first
4:18
Speaker 6: seven takeaways.
4:19
Speaker 7: So we're going to have to have a great week
4:20
Speaker 7: of prep, but excited about the opportunity this Saturday.
4:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, Coach, what does.
4:27
Speaker 1: A win do for you guys in terms of momentum
4:30
Speaker 1: and stuff?
4:33
Speaker 6: Well, I think, you know, more than anything, the way
4:36
Speaker 6: the two previous games occurred, it's like, like I said,
4:39
Speaker 6: you know, even post-game Saturday, we got kicked in the teeth.
4:42
Speaker 6: Those were tough ones. You never want to lose, and
4:44
Speaker 6: those are hard. But like I said, we learned from those,
4:48
Speaker 6: and no different than a win. You learn, you take
4:50
Speaker 6: the rear view mirror, you throw it out the door,
4:51
Speaker 6: and you keep progressing. And more than anything, it's for
4:55
Speaker 6: me to the team, right? As we continue to try
4:57
Speaker 6: these things that are unique, not only to some of
5:00
Speaker 6: the guys that were part of last year's roster, guys
5:02
Speaker 6: that are transferred in, people that have been a part
5:04
Speaker 6: of this program for a.
5:05
Speaker 7: Long time, right?
5:06
Speaker 6: Hey, this is why we do morning practices. This is
5:09
Speaker 6: why we do this film study. This is why we
5:11
Speaker 6: eat the way we, this is why we train. So
5:14
Speaker 6: more than anything, you just want it to be a
5:15
Speaker 6: little bit of the fruits of the labor. Hey guys,
5:17
Speaker 6: this is the reasoning, just trusting this process. And so
5:20
Speaker 6: whether you win by one point or win by plenty,
5:23
Speaker 6: it's just more people, okay, yeah, you know what? Even
5:26
Speaker 6: when things were looking bleak and people were telling us
5:29
Speaker 6: we stunk, you know, five days ago, we just stuck
5:33
Speaker 6: with it.
5:34
Speaker 7: We showed up. We went to class. We did all
5:35
Speaker 7: the things you've asked us to do. We've been bought in.
5:38
Speaker 6: Oh, it results in a win. Okay, now maybe I'll
5:41
Speaker 6: show up five more minutes earlier, take care of my body,
5:43
Speaker 6: do those things. So that's where I look at it.
5:45
Speaker 6: You know, it's not necessarily motivation. Hey, we're still playing
5:49
Speaker 6: for this.
5:49
Speaker 7: Play for that. the guys show up every week, but
5:51
Speaker 7: I think it just gives more some internal.
5:53
Speaker 8: Yeah.
5:54
Speaker 7: That's why we do it. That's why we've done these things.
5:57
Speaker 9: I know you probably saw some good and some bad
5:58
Speaker 9: on the offensive line.
5:59
Speaker 4: I was wondering, I know that there was in game
6:02
Speaker 4: a change at right tackle. Is there anything you.
6:04
Speaker 1: Look at as far as shifting things around, having the
6:06
Speaker 1: competition at that spot?
6:08
Speaker 7: Yeah. You know, listen, I think in game, that was
6:12
Speaker 7: the right decision to make at the right tackle spot.
6:14
Speaker 6: And, you know, we got great faith that Brian's going
6:17
Speaker 6: to continue to progress and, He's one of those guys that's,
6:20
Speaker 6: you know, there's some good and some things that he
6:22
Speaker 6: continues to do. Adam Hawks gave us a decent spell,
6:26
Speaker 6: and there's some things he'd look back and say, I
6:28
Speaker 6: got to get this done better.
6:30
Speaker 7: As much as we can, we'd love.
6:31
Speaker 6: To keep the five guys that originally started the season
6:34
Speaker 6: offensive line as the core group. Because, like you said,
6:37
Speaker 6: there were some positives, some steps in the right direction.
6:40
Speaker 6: It's certainly not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. So,
6:43
Speaker 6: like we tell them every week, and we told the
6:45
Speaker 6: offensive line, like, guys, we've The five guys that started
6:48
Speaker 6: last game, the plan is to start them, but, man,
6:50
Speaker 6: there's got to be some competition. We've got to find
6:52
Speaker 6: ways to continue to improve.
6:54
Speaker 7: I have a question for you about the green dot.
6:57
Speaker 9: Knowing that Shaw was not going to be in the game,
6:59
Speaker 9: who had it, and can you rig up multiple helmets
7:02
Speaker 9: to switch it off.
7:03
Speaker 7: During the game? So you can. You can rig up
7:05
Speaker 7: multiple helmets. I'll start with that question, but it's got
7:07
Speaker 7: to be announced.
7:08
Speaker 6: We played some teams that have gone out there, even Utah,
7:11
Speaker 6: with multiple quarterbacks.
7:12
Speaker 7: You're like, hey, did they have two green dots? In fact,
7:14
Speaker 7: North Alabama got called. or a penalty the game before
7:18
Speaker 7: us for having two green dots on the field.
7:19
Speaker 6: So it's something you gotta be careful. You also gotta
7:21
Speaker 6: think about special teams, right? Uh, this guy was, you know,
7:24
Speaker 6: Ben Bogle wasn't a starter and linebacker, but all of
7:26
Speaker 6: a sudden started. Well, and he was out there on
7:28
Speaker 6: a special teams unit and then someone.
7:30
Speaker 7: Else had it. You just gotta be careful with those things.
7:32
Speaker 8: Right.
7:33
Speaker 6: Um, But I think Ben, you know, we continue to probably,
7:37
Speaker 6: depending on the starter, if Bradley Shaw's back, we'll have
7:40
Speaker 6: the green dot. Maybe Ben Bogle will this week. Maybe
7:42
Speaker 6: we give it to Quay. But yes, you have the ability.
7:45
Speaker 7: To rotate helmets as long as there's one on the field.
7:48
Speaker 6: There's some teams I've seen that have had it on
7:49
Speaker 6: a linebacker and then change it up middle of the
7:52
Speaker 6: game and put it on safety. But yeah, we take,
7:55
Speaker 6: I'd say, a time without overshooting it, probably six different helmets.
7:58
Speaker 7: For the guys that have the possibility of doing it.
8:00
Speaker 6: And more than anything, a lot of it, right, It's
8:02
Speaker 6: a different way to communicate. Obviously, sometimes we've got three
8:06
Speaker 6: guys singling and none of them are even live. The
8:09
Speaker 6: green dot's giving out the communication.
8:10
Speaker 7: So Bobo had it?
8:12
Speaker 8: Yes. Okay.
8:13
Speaker 7: And how do you think he did.
8:14
Speaker 9: At stepping into that role? I know we asked you
8:17
Speaker 9: to post him, but why him.
8:19
Speaker 7: And how he did in that role? I think he
8:21
Speaker 7: did a fantastic job.
8:23
Speaker 6: I think you got to see the communication in-game, right,
8:25
Speaker 6: with him getting guys lined up, with him getting guys
8:28
Speaker 6: on the same page. He is a fifth-year guy that's
8:32
Speaker 6: shown leadership and shown the ability to go out there
8:34
Speaker 6: and make some plays. You talk about the opening play
8:38
Speaker 6: of the game, the rush and getting the sack. I
8:40
Speaker 6: think that ability and the way he's been playing at
8:43
Speaker 6: a high level allow him the ability to continue to
8:45
Speaker 6: get more reps. I didn't know, even in August, how
8:47
Speaker 6: much is this guy going to play for us? Obviously,
8:50
Speaker 6: you don't want injuries to occur, but we need the
8:51
Speaker 6: next man up, and he's certainly proven that he's capable
8:54
Speaker 6: of doing so.
8:55
Speaker 9: Your red zone offense, Tulsa just came at you. I
9:00
Speaker 9: wonder what are the countermeasures and what do you feel
9:03
Speaker 9: like we need to do to be more effective?
9:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, certainly. Like we discussed post-game, we did have some
9:10
Speaker 7: red zone struggles.
9:11
Speaker 6: You'd like to get down there, but obviously, ultimately, rather
9:14
Speaker 6: than going four for four on field goals, you'd like
9:15
Speaker 6: to maybe kick a couple and then maybe the rest
9:18
Speaker 6: of them you come away with sixes.
9:20
Speaker 7: I think part of that is finding different ways to
9:22
Speaker 7: do it.
9:23
Speaker 6: It was unique. We talked about going into the game
9:25
Speaker 6: even last Monday with Tulsa being a I think 4%
9:31
Speaker 6: pressure team on base downs, and they must have pressured us,
9:35
Speaker 6: excuse me for being incorrect, over 50% of the time
9:38
Speaker 6: on base downs. And we saw more of that in
9:40
Speaker 6: the red zone than they've ever shown. They showed three
9:42
Speaker 6: straight corner blitzes versus Oklahoma State on back-to-back-to-back plays in
9:47
Speaker 6: the red zone.
9:47
Speaker 7: That was the only red zone pressure they have shown.
9:50
Speaker 6: And so you're looking at that now all of a
9:53
Speaker 6: sudden it's a different deal. So again, putting our guys
9:56
Speaker 6: in the best situation, that's on us. There's a couple
9:58
Speaker 6: play calls that Coach Graves and I talked about that
10:00
Speaker 6: maybe we could have had back and that's always going
10:02
Speaker 6: to be the case. And then, you know, finding out
10:05
Speaker 6: again if we can line up and run the ball
10:07
Speaker 6: effectively down there.
10:09
Speaker 7: That's got to be a huge force.
10:10
Speaker 6: And then, you know, there are a couple of things,
10:11
Speaker 6: obviously one of the red zone deficiencies was, you know,
10:14
Speaker 6: the hurry up at the end of the half, you know,
10:16
Speaker 6: making sure the communication piece, all those things go hand
10:18
Speaker 6: in hand, but we'll continue to look for answers like
10:20
Speaker 6: we have in every phase of our game.
10:24
Speaker 1: Now that it's no secret of what all Chris Marshall
10:26
Speaker 1: can do, just what, how does the offense have to
10:28
Speaker 1: adjust to whatever in the passing game to whatever defense
10:31
Speaker 1: is might be going out?
10:32
Speaker 7: Yeah.
10:32
Speaker 6: Andrew, like I said, post game, you know, I, Teams
10:34
Speaker 6: are going to start rolling some coverages and doing some
10:37
Speaker 6: different things. I think that's part of what you're going
10:40
Speaker 6: to start seeing is our team is going to try
10:42
Speaker 6: to put their best corner on, play man-to-man. Are they
10:44
Speaker 6: going to start rolling things that way? We'll see to
10:49
Speaker 6: be determined, but we've got to be great with it.
10:52
Speaker 6: We need other guys to step up. We've got great
10:55
Speaker 6: faith in all the other wide receivers. We need the
10:56
Speaker 6: tight ends to continue to do things to solve problems.
10:58
Speaker 6: you know, the previous game, Todd Lockwood did some really
11:01
Speaker 6: good things. This game, Leon Platt did some good things,
11:04
Speaker 6: but we need a variety of different guys. We threw
11:06
Speaker 6: some checkdowns. We got to continue to find the running back.
11:08
Speaker 6: So find different answers than that. We know how special
11:10
Speaker 6: Chris is.
11:11
Speaker 7: And guess what?
11:12
Speaker 6: Even if he is role coverage to them or their
11:14
Speaker 6: best corner, we need to go out there and make plays.
11:17
Speaker 1: Ryan Silverfield, Arkansas coach, talking a little bit about Chris Marshall,
11:21
Speaker 1: the wide receiver who leads the SEC in receiving of,
11:27
Speaker 1: former Texas A & M player, whom they could use
11:32
Speaker 1: right now. With Bussey out, Ashton Bethel-Roman nicked up and
11:38
Speaker 1: listed as questionable. Mario Craver for Saturday's game. Yeah, you
11:47
Speaker 1: can never have enough running backs. You can never have
11:49
Speaker 1: enough wide receivers. But as Mike Elko was saying earlier
11:54
Speaker 1: in the week, Man, with the transfer portal, depth is
11:57
Speaker 1: hard because the good guys that you would have as depth,
12:01
Speaker 1: they're taking money to play other places. Okay. Let's do this.
12:09
Speaker 8: Can we?
12:10
Speaker 1: A feeding frenzy unfolded frighteningly close. I don't know who
12:16
Speaker 1: wrote this. A feeding frenzy unfolded frighteningly close. See, I
12:21
Speaker 1: can't do it, and I'm a professional. Western Australia.
12:24
Speaker 8: Yeah.
12:24
Speaker 1: This week, multiple sharks, including an estimated 16 to 17
12:30
Speaker 1: foot great white, cruise through the shallows because there was
12:34
Speaker 1: a whale carcass while hundreds of spectators stood on the
12:39
Speaker 1: beach and watched. The carcass washed ashore at City Beach
12:45
Speaker 1: in Perth early Monday morning after surf lifesavers, surf life,
12:52
Speaker 1: I love lifesavers, discovered it. Around 7.30, within roughly an hour,
12:57
Speaker 1: SharkSmart had recorded two whites measuring up to 16 feet,
13:05
Speaker 1: just about 30 feet offshore. That's close. A three and
13:10
Speaker 1: a half meter shark, 10 feet, of unknown species, another
13:15
Speaker 1: measuring two and a half feet, seven feet. Meanwhile, photographer
13:21
Speaker 1: Tom Cavanaugh captured dramatic drone footage showing the sharks moving
13:25
Speaker 1: through shallow water. With spectators gathered nearby, Cavanaugh said the
13:30
Speaker 1: animals were following the scent of the whale and were
13:33
Speaker 1: coming in very close, riding the shallows. Beachgoer Lydia Moss
13:39
Speaker 1: saw the sharks firsthand. They're bigger than I thought they
13:43
Speaker 1: were going to be, she said, describing them as Massive
13:47
Speaker 1: authorities closed the beach and surrounding stretches of the coastline.
13:52
Speaker 1: Cambridge Mayor Gary Mack issued a unequivocal warning. People should
13:57
Speaker 1: not swim in this area at all. And dogs should
14:03
Speaker 1: stay out of the water. The dead whale carcass, of course,
14:08
Speaker 1: an all-you-can-eat buffet for sharks. UWA Oceans Institute researchers Ben
14:14
Speaker 1: D'Antonio called a dead whale basically a pot of gold
14:18
Speaker 1: for a shark, explaining that the lipid-rich meal can attract
14:24
Speaker 1: animals from surrounding ocean. Shark expert Cullen Brown warned that
14:29
Speaker 1: scent from the decomposing whale could linger through several tides
14:34
Speaker 1: even after the carcass is removed. The timing is especially unsettling.
14:41
Speaker 1: Just 10 days earlier, 63-year-old Greg O'Neill was killed by
14:45
Speaker 1: a great white while swimming close to shore at Sorrento Beach,
14:50
Speaker 1: roughly 15 kilometers north. 10 miles, give or take. Authorities
14:57
Speaker 1: issued a rare catch and kill order after that fatal
15:01
Speaker 1: shark attack. Ooh, they wouldn't do that in Florida. Authorities
15:05
Speaker 1: since deployed drumlines to tag sharks gathering around the carcass
15:10
Speaker 1: while beaches remained closed. Meanwhile, a paddle boarding excursion in
15:18
Speaker 1: the Pacific off California turned terrifying for one woman when
15:24
Speaker 1: a sea lion yanked her into the water. Heather Gray
15:30
Speaker 1: told KNTV, I was like, what's happening? It was like
15:34
Speaker 1: a horror movie. She was paddleboarding between Capitol Wharf and
15:39
Speaker 1: Privates Beach near Pleasure Point in California when the marine
15:42
Speaker 1: mammal attacked about 8 a.m.
15:45
Speaker 8: Tuesday.
15:47
Speaker 1: This is in Northern California, by the way. San Jose
15:51
Speaker 1: to Oakland. The sea lion bit her harm hand. and feet.
15:56
Speaker 1: The thing was the most bizarre that it grabbed my hair,
16:00
Speaker 1: she said. After she got back on her board, she
16:03
Speaker 1: paddled on shore, but the lion followed her. A friend
16:06
Speaker 1: drove her to an urgent care facility for treatment. A
16:10
Speaker 1: second reported attack involved a surfer near Santa Cruz. You know,
16:16
Speaker 1: these sea lions, people think they're so cute. They're so furry.
16:23
Speaker 1: Sea lions and fur seals in Monterey Bay have been
16:26
Speaker 1: hit hard by domoic acid poisoning, according to the Marine
16:32
Speaker 1: Mammal Center. These people always have to make excuses for
16:36
Speaker 1: wild animal behavior that attack humans. Domoic acid poisoning is
16:41
Speaker 1: caused by harmful algae blooms. The neurotoxin accumulates in small
16:47
Speaker 1: fish that are eaten by marine animals, including the seals.
16:51
Speaker 1: Wildlife and domainic acid poisoning can act unpredictably. Encourage people
16:57
Speaker 1: to stay 150 feet away from the animals. Well, I
17:01
Speaker 1: would personally stay farther away than that. You know what
17:07
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Like I said, we always have to make
17:13
Speaker 1: excuses for animals who attack people. Animals are always on
17:19
Speaker 1: the the lookout for people. What do we say every week?
17:26
Speaker 1: Get them before they get you. They are after you.
17:33
Speaker 1: They hate you. They want to kill you. They are wild,
17:40
Speaker 1: dangerous animals. Even those furry, cute little seals. You know
17:47
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? They have really large teeth. Our animals
17:53
Speaker 1: attack segment, we're not finished, is brought to you each
17:58
Speaker 1: week by Schulte Roofing Home of the Bulletproof Roof Guarantee.
18:03
Speaker 10: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
18:05
Speaker 10: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
18:08
Speaker 10: I found Schulte Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
18:10
Speaker 10: The folks at Schulte guided me every step of the way.
18:13
Speaker 10: They showed me my options. They told me what my
18:16
Speaker 10: out-of-pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
18:19
Speaker 10: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
18:22
Speaker 10: the damaged roof, put on the new roof, did all
18:24
Speaker 10: the cleanup, and I had my new roof in one day.
18:27
Speaker 9: Schulte Roofing, the home of the bulletproof roofing.
18:34
Speaker 1: It is the Clark Eisenhower Outdoor Edition for a Thursday.
18:40
Speaker 1: And let it rain. All right. We've been dry. And
18:51
Speaker 1: coming up here in 20 minutes or so or less,
18:57
Speaker 1: I'm going to be visiting with Nick Stripe from the
18:59
Speaker 1: Taos Fly Shop in Taos, New Mexico. I think they
19:05
Speaker 1: have gotten some rain. I've been watching because it was
19:08
Speaker 1: so dry up there. The remnants of this hurricane went
19:13
Speaker 1: up there first. We're getting a little of it now.
19:19
Speaker 1: A woman was bitten by a possibly rabid coyote on
19:24
Speaker 1: a hiking trail in Westchester County yesterday. and officials are
19:32
Speaker 1: urging residents to be on the lookout and stay vigilant.
19:38
Speaker 1: This is New York, of course. Westchester County is one
19:41
Speaker 1: of the richest counties in America. The attack unfolded along
19:49
Speaker 1: the Old Croton Aqueduct Path near Warburton Avenue, a heavily
19:55
Speaker 1: wooded strip inside the Aqueduct State Historic Park. Anyone who
20:01
Speaker 1: sees the coyote should not approach the animal, but contact
20:04
Speaker 1: the police immediately, says Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler. Remember
20:11
Speaker 1: when our former governor shot a coyote during one of
20:15
Speaker 1: his runs in Austin? Well, you do that in Houston,
20:20
Speaker 1: even if you're the governor. Well, not the governor. The
20:22
Speaker 1: politicians would be protected. But if you did that in
20:24
Speaker 1: New York, you actually.
20:28
Speaker 8: Even.
20:29
Speaker 1: pretended to shoot a coyote, you know, make that little
20:32
Speaker 1: pistol sign with your fingers, you'd probably spend like four
20:38
Speaker 1: years in prison. She says, make loud noises and slowly
20:43
Speaker 1: back away. Due to its aggressive behavior, the coyote may
20:48
Speaker 1: be rabid. Residents should closely supervise children and pets when outside.
20:54
Speaker 1: The victim undergoing emergency preventive rabies treatment, they said in
20:58
Speaker 1: a statement, and that's painful. Cops in Hastings and Dobbs
21:03
Speaker 1: Ferry along the Greenberg Animal Control officers and the New
21:07
Speaker 1: York State Department of Environmental Conservation Police are scouring the area.
21:14
Speaker 1: Rabbit animals often show erratic and dangerous behavior. including a
21:20
Speaker 1: sudden lack of fear of humans, unprovoked aggression, or extreme lethargy.
21:27
Speaker 1: Which is it? Extreme lethargy or unprovoked aggression? Staggering and
21:34
Speaker 1: foaming at the mouth are classic warning signs. I'm just
21:39
Speaker 1: giving you these helpful hints. Westchester residents who spot stray
21:44
Speaker 1: or wild animals acting strangely urged to report it immediately.
21:50
Speaker 1: All animal bites or contacts with animals suspected of rabies
21:56
Speaker 1: can be reported 24 hours a day. Rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats, ferrets.
22:04
Speaker 1: Do you really need? Never mind. With regular booster shots
22:08
Speaker 1: required by state law. Oh, and I'm sure everyone in
22:13
Speaker 1: the New York City area has their animals vaccinated. Earlier
22:18
Speaker 1: this month, officials warned a rabid fox may have been
22:22
Speaker 1: roaming Staten Island. Troubling city data revealed that rabid raccoons
22:29
Speaker 1: invading the city's outer boroughs have led to 20 total
22:34
Speaker 1: rabies cases, 57% more than last year. By late August,
22:42
Speaker 1: The Big Apple had recorded five cases in Brooklyn, six
22:46
Speaker 1: in Queens, nine at Staten Island, matching the total of
22:51
Speaker 1: all of last year. You know, there's a movie that
22:55
Speaker 1: could be made from this. I mean, you know what
23:00
Speaker 1: I'm saying? And whatever happened to Sharknado? Man, I miss
23:07
Speaker 1: me some Sharknado. I just, I hope. Somebody is working
23:14
Speaker 1: on a script. And we know from past Sharknadoes, it
23:17
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a great script. But I sure
23:22
Speaker 1: miss me some Sharknado. I mean, what is better than
23:29
Speaker 1: murderous huge sharks flying through the air, propelled by hurricanes
23:35
Speaker 1: and tornadoes, biting people in half? Just don't get better
23:41
Speaker 1: than that. A fearless Washington state boy, 12-year-old Robin Westgate,
23:48
Speaker 1: fought off a monstrous mama black bear by gouging its
23:54
Speaker 1: eyes during a terrifying attack that left him battered and bruised.
24:03
Speaker 1: This is in upstate Washington, the People's Republic of Washington.
24:09
Speaker 1: Robin Westgate said while he was retrieving a bowl from
24:12
Speaker 1: his backyard fruit orchard Sunday night, he came face to
24:17
Speaker 1: face with an enraged black bear protecting her cub. The
24:23
Speaker 1: Bellingham youngster said he and the bear startled each other
24:27
Speaker 1: before the beast charged him twice, left puncture wounds on
24:31
Speaker 1: his hip, Westgate said it was fight or die. I
24:37
Speaker 1: didn't really have an option. The bear bit into my
24:39
Speaker 1: wrist and I slammed my hand and thumb into her eye.
24:44
Speaker 1: Black bears are common in the neighborhood, which is near
24:46
Speaker 1: the Canadian border. The twain had already been taught what
24:51
Speaker 1: to do. The mama bear charged a second time toward
24:59
Speaker 1: his father, Noah. Strange as it sounds, the father said,
25:04
Speaker 1: it was a feeling of relief to have her coming
25:07
Speaker 1: at me. Noah Westgate jumped into his self-described code red
25:13
Speaker 1: mode to protect his son the same way the bear
25:17
Speaker 1: was protecting her cub, by clobbering it. She crushes into
25:23
Speaker 1: crunches into my right hand at the moment, and I
25:26
Speaker 1: laid the hardest punch of my life. The dad's right
25:30
Speaker 1: hook scared the bear away. Although Robin Westgate said the
25:36
Speaker 1: encounter was terrifying, it doesn't change anything about the overall
25:41
Speaker 1: danger from bears. The only thing that's changed is now
25:46
Speaker 1: I know I can trust myself. Things could have been worse,
25:51
Speaker 1: said the family, if their daughter, Riverly, That's a good
25:57
Speaker 1: Washington name. Didn't hear her brother's cries for help. I'm
26:02
Speaker 1: glad I was outside and heard him and that the
26:04
Speaker 1: injuries weren't worse, she said. The mama bear has since
26:08
Speaker 1: returned to the area and wildlife workers snapped a photo. Oh,
26:14
Speaker 1: that's good.
26:15
Speaker 8: That's good.
26:15
Speaker 1: Take a picture of it. A trap has been set. Oh, beautiful.
26:23
Speaker 1: From now on, the Westgate family says they will carry
26:26
Speaker 1: bear spray into their backyard. Wildlife officials say attacks in
26:31
Speaker 1: Washington state average less than one per year.
26:35
Speaker 8: Hmm.
26:39
Speaker 1: I'm a proud papa that my 12-year-old son stood his
26:42
Speaker 1: ground against that black bear, said Noah, and we are too.
26:45
Speaker 1: And again, this is the People's Republic of Washington, so
26:50
Speaker 1: there's no guns available. Even if you had one stored
26:58
Speaker 1: legally and pulled it out to shoot the bear, oh, baby,
27:03
Speaker 1: you'd just as soon the bear kill you because you're
27:06
Speaker 1: going to spend time in prison in the People's Republic
27:11
Speaker 1: of Washington. God help you if you killed a black
27:16
Speaker 1: bear that was attacking your son because we all know
27:20
Speaker 1: the bears are much more valuable than people. And we
27:24
Speaker 1: all know that guns are evil, especially in the state
27:28
Speaker 1: of Washington. You know, next door in Oregon, they're holding
27:32
Speaker 1: a referendum not to be able to shoot any wild
27:35
Speaker 1: animals at all, to outlaw hunting. You think I'm kidding.
27:40
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. And if you think there are no
27:45
Speaker 1: people within sound of my voice right now that approve
27:48
Speaker 1: of that, you're fooling yourself. There are plenty of people
27:58
Speaker 1: within the sound of my voice saying, well, what's wrong
28:01
Speaker 1: with banning hunting? It's a despicable way to harm animals.
28:09
Speaker 1: Get them before they get you. Oh, the animals, not
28:15
Speaker 1: the people. A couple's beloved French bulldog died saving its owners.
28:24
Speaker 1: As a bear attacked them in the backyard of their
28:27
Speaker 1: rural North Carolina home. Now, I'm going to think the
28:33
Speaker 1: people of California are going to do something about this.
28:36
Speaker 1: Not because a person died in the bear attack, but
28:38
Speaker 1: because a dog died. Jeff and Mallory Wilson were in
28:41
Speaker 1: their home in Trinity County Saturday when their dog Cassie barked.
28:46
Speaker 1: The late night disturbance prompted Jeff to go outside and
28:49
Speaker 1: check the backyard. As soon as he opened the door,
28:51
Speaker 1: Cassie stepped off the deck and a cinnamon brown bear
28:55
Speaker 1: emerged from behind the patio furniture and attacked and knocked
28:59
Speaker 1: Jeff to the floor. Mallory woke up to the loud noises,
29:04
Speaker 1: went outside to check. The bear attacked her, leaving her
29:07
Speaker 1: with grave injuries to her face and body. At some point,
29:12
Speaker 1: the bear grabbed Cassie with its mouth and started to
29:15
Speaker 1: run away. Mallory threw a chair at the bear, causing
29:19
Speaker 1: it to drop Cassie. Jeff shoved a patio heater into
29:23
Speaker 1: the bear, and it finally ran off. The couple believes
29:27
Speaker 1: the bear panicked after getting cornered between the house's small
29:31
Speaker 1: fence and the open gate. I think the bear was
29:34
Speaker 1: startled by us as much as we were startled by it,
29:37
Speaker 1: said Jeff. The couple rushed Cassie into emergency surgery. Now
29:43
Speaker 1: let's not be confused. Cassie is the dog, not the wife.
29:47
Speaker 1: The couple rushed Cassie into emergency surgery to treat multiple
29:51
Speaker 1: bite wounds and deep cuts. When she started walking and
29:56
Speaker 1: drinking water on her own two days later, They had
29:59
Speaker 1: a hope for her recovery, but tragically, Cassie died. According
30:07
Speaker 1: to GoFundMe page set up by the couple's friend, Rachel Moscone,
30:13
Speaker 1: Jeff suffered two broken ribs and numerous bite and claw wounds.
30:18
Speaker 1: Mallory had serious, we're talking about the dog now, okay?
30:23
Speaker 1: Now we can talk about the people. Jeff had serious injuries.
30:28
Speaker 1: Mallory had injuries to her head and face, a broken hand,
30:33
Speaker 1: and bite and puncture wounds. We're talking about practice. Cassie
30:40
Speaker 1: threw herself between Jeff and the bear in an effort
30:42
Speaker 1: to protect him. Seven-and-a-half-year-old Bulldog was a beloved member of
30:47
Speaker 1: the family. The little dog courageously put herself between him
30:52
Speaker 1: and a bear. And again, this is California. There's no guns.
30:57
Speaker 1: She was never meant to be a hero. She was
30:59
Speaker 1: not our guard dog. She was just our sweet indoor
31:02
Speaker 1: lap baby, said Mallory, who was, I guess, well enough
31:06
Speaker 1: to talk about her dog. The couple said this was
31:14
Speaker 1: an unprovoked and extraordinarily unusual encounter that none of us
31:18
Speaker 1: could have anticipated. We're devastated by what happened while still,
31:23
Speaker 1: listen to me, respecting the wild animals that belong in
31:27
Speaker 1: these places. These are Californians, people. There is nothing we
31:31
Speaker 1: can do to change their mind. They're on the left
31:36
Speaker 1: coast where animals are valued more than people. Get them
31:44
Speaker 1: before they get you. Hey, I want to tell you

Speaker 8: AM and 93.7 FM.
36:05
Speaker 15: Hey, right now we're going to jump out to the
36:14
Speaker 15: Polaris Fun Center phone line and visit with the owner
36:18
Speaker 15: and proprietor of the Taos Fly Shop in Taos, New Mexico.
36:22
Speaker 1: He is Nick Streit. Nick and I fished. in July
36:26
Speaker 1: together as we try to do most Julys, and man,
36:30
Speaker 1: it was dry. The only real water was in the
36:34
Speaker 1: Rio Grande, which is where we fish, Nick, but you've
36:37
Speaker 1: told me since then you've gotten a little rain.
36:41
Speaker 8: We've gotten a lot of rain. I mean, I'm sitting
36:43
Speaker 8: at my house looking out at this creek I got
36:45
Speaker 8: in my backyard that was dang near dried up a
36:49
Speaker 8: week ago, and we've had two big storms. We've had
36:52
Speaker 8: like As much as six or seven inches of rain
36:56
Speaker 8: in parts of the state right here in northern New
36:57
Speaker 8: Mexico we've had in the last 10 days, I'd say
37:00
Speaker 8: four to five inches of rain, which is a lot
37:04
Speaker 8: for us. And it's come at a nice pace. It
37:06
Speaker 8: hasn't caused any flooding or anything. The rivers are up
37:09
Speaker 8: and muddy right now. But, you know, they're going to
37:11
Speaker 8: come down here soon, and I'm expecting the rest of
37:13
Speaker 8: the fall to fish really good. And this moisture was
37:15
Speaker 8: exactly what we needed.
37:16
Speaker 1: So it will also cool things down as well and
37:21
Speaker 1: probably get a little better flow in the places where
37:24
Speaker 1: you fish, right?
37:26
Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean, you know, it's definitely fall here. The
37:28
Speaker 8: trees are changing. They're all yellow. And we got out
37:30
Speaker 8: of this storm, we got what looks like about a
37:32
Speaker 8: foot of snow up in the high country. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah.
37:36
Speaker 8: It's a far cry from the... you know, the conditions
37:39
Speaker 8: that we had when you guys.
37:41
Speaker 1: You know, the whole state was on fire and then
37:45
Speaker 1: we went to Colorado and it was probably worse than
37:48
Speaker 1: it was in New Mexico, Nick. I mean, it was just,
37:50
Speaker 1: you know, all over that area was just brutal.
37:54
Speaker 8: Yeah. You know, it was a tough season for, for
37:56
Speaker 8: us all in the Southern Rockies. Um, it was dry, basically,
38:00
Speaker 8: you know, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, um, even North
38:05
Speaker 8: of there wasn't great. Um, But we took it, you know,
38:08
Speaker 8: it was tough. I don't know any other way to
38:11
Speaker 8: say it. It was about the toughest season I've had
38:13
Speaker 8: down here.
38:14
Speaker 1: Do you lose fish if the water gets too warm?
38:18
Speaker 1: Did it get too warm? I know that in Colorado
38:21
Speaker 1: we quit fishing at noon, and we started early when
38:24
Speaker 1: I was with you just because of that very thing.
38:27
Speaker 1: You know, it was just really hot and dry, and
38:30
Speaker 1: the water temperature just goes up.
38:33
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, we had water temps in the Rio
38:36
Speaker 8: consistently above 70 degrees for months, which, you know, trout
38:42
Speaker 8: can survive in it. But if you catch them and
38:45
Speaker 8: you try to release them and you stress them out,
38:47
Speaker 8: they tend not to make it. we had, we've had
38:50
Speaker 8: a couple of guy trips down there in the last
38:52
Speaker 8: week or so, and they've done really well. So it
38:55
Speaker 8: seems that all of the fish fared, um, no problem.
38:58
Speaker 8: In fact, they're fat and healthy. So, you know, I
39:01
Speaker 8: think we dodged a bullet on the river, at least
39:03
Speaker 8: on the, on the Rio. Yeah. Uh, the smaller Creek,
39:06
Speaker 8: some of them, I mean, some of them got pretty
39:08
Speaker 8: close to dry, if not dried up. And so I'm
39:11
Speaker 8: sure we lost some fish and some Creeks. Um, it's
39:15
Speaker 8: amazing how fast they'll come back. You know, now we're
39:17
Speaker 8: in this wetter cycle and this big super El Nino's
39:20
Speaker 8: headed our way. So I'm, I'm, you know, I'm optimistic
39:23
Speaker 8: about next season. But yeah, I mean, I think we
39:27
Speaker 8: probably lost some fish in some of the small little
39:29
Speaker 8: tiny creeks for sure.
39:30
Speaker 1: You need a really good winter, don't you, to fill
39:33
Speaker 1: up some of these reservoirs especially.
39:36
Speaker 8: We do. We do. I mean, this rain that we're
39:38
Speaker 8: getting is a great start. Like I say, the amount
39:41
Speaker 8: of rain that we got, I've never seen a rainstorm
39:43
Speaker 8: or a period of rain in a week like we've
39:45
Speaker 8: just had. I mean, this has really been something. So,
39:48
Speaker 8: great start going into the fall. You know, if we
39:51
Speaker 8: can just get a winter that's like quote-unquote average, if
39:54
Speaker 8: that exists anymore, we'd be looking great for next year. So, yeah,
40:00
Speaker 8: but all the forecasts look good. So, you know, fingers
40:03
Speaker 8: crossed it's going to be a good season next year.
40:05
Speaker 1: How is the Costilla right now?
40:08
Speaker 8: Costilla, you know, they didn't have any, as you know,
40:11
Speaker 8: they weren't letting any water out of the dam. No,
40:12
Speaker 8: they were not. They just let a little water out
40:17
Speaker 8: with all the rain. The water levels are good. We
40:20
Speaker 8: haven't been fishing it much. The last report I got
40:22
Speaker 8: up there was not great. So, you know, that'll be
40:26
Speaker 8: one where we just, you know, time will tell to
40:28
Speaker 8: see how the fish fare through the low water. I mean,
40:31
Speaker 8: it's high enough elevation. I don't know that water temp's
40:34
Speaker 8: would have gotten so drastic to kill fish. But the
40:36
Speaker 8: low water, it does hurt bug life and fish. It
40:40
Speaker 8: makes it hard for them, that's for sure.
40:42
Speaker 1: So we'll see.
40:43
Speaker 8: I'm optimistic that next season they'll bounce back. And the state,
40:47
Speaker 8: that's part of that Rio Grande cutthroat restoration project, and
40:50
Speaker 8: the state's done a good job of stocking fingerlings up there.
40:53
Speaker 8: So it'll bounce back fast.
40:55
Speaker 1: You helped do that, as a matter of fact, a
40:58
Speaker 1: few years ago, did you not?
41:00
Speaker 8: Well, we played a pretty small part in it. Me
41:03
Speaker 8: and some of the shop crew went up to literally
41:07
Speaker 8: pack some of those little kind of cut boats back
41:10
Speaker 8: into the tributaries up there. That was super fun, yeah.
41:15
Speaker 1: What are the main areas right now that your people
41:18
Speaker 1: are fishing?
41:20
Speaker 8: Well, you know, this is coming into our fall season,
41:24
Speaker 8: which is always all about the Rio Grande. Mm-hmm. You know,
41:28
Speaker 8: with the exception of this probably week where the river
41:31
Speaker 8: is going to be muddy, I mean, the fishing was
41:33
Speaker 8: fantastic a week ago before the river got muddy. I
41:35
Speaker 8: think it's going to be right back there. And this
41:39
Speaker 8: cool off will help, right? Absolutely.
41:41
Speaker 1: It's going to cool.
41:41
Speaker 8: Water temps, and it's going to push a lot of
41:43
Speaker 8: the weed growth that happened in the summer out, making
41:46
Speaker 8: it easier to fish. The river is going to get
41:48
Speaker 8: nice and clear. So we're going to be hitting the Rio.
41:50
Speaker 8: We're going to be hitting the Red, you know, a
41:52
Speaker 8: little bit of fishing on the Conejos for the next
41:54
Speaker 8: couple weeks. But the Rio is going to be our
41:56
Speaker 8: main focus.
41:57
Speaker 1: Ed, what primarily are you using, Nick, when you go
42:03
Speaker 1: on the Rio? What's working?
42:06
Speaker 8: My go-to this time of year, it does depend a
42:08
Speaker 8: little bit on water, you know, visibility, water height. If
42:13
Speaker 8: the river is flowing over about 100 CFS, and that's
42:16
Speaker 8: up in the upper part of the canyon up by Cuesta,
42:19
Speaker 8: I'll tend to go with maybe an indicator and a
42:22
Speaker 8: couple nymphs. If it's around 100 or below, I'll do
42:25
Speaker 8: a dry dropper setup.
42:26
Speaker 1: Okay, still.
42:27
Speaker 8: You know, just any kind of like a tractor dry
42:29
Speaker 8: and then little tungsten jighead, pheasant tails, and bead heads
42:32
Speaker 8: kind of thing.
42:34
Speaker 1: And then what about the lower part where we fished?
42:38
Speaker 8: You know, similar deal. What's really cool is we've seen,
42:42
Speaker 8: you know, with the low water fish, We've had all
42:45
Speaker 8: of this milfoil, which is like a weed. Oh, yeah.
42:49
Speaker 8: We saw it when we were fishing.
42:50
Speaker 1: We did, yeah.
42:51
Speaker 8: And I want to say that when we were fishing,
42:54
Speaker 8: they were rising pretty good in the morning before the
42:57
Speaker 8: sun came up.
42:57
Speaker 1: They were, yes.
42:59
Speaker 8: Yep, yep. So that's continued on. That trico hatch, that
43:04
Speaker 8: trico mayfly hatch, I've never seen it like it's been.
43:06
Speaker 8: So it's like one of the benefits of the low water.
43:09
Speaker 8: But the dry fly fishing in the mornings has been
43:11
Speaker 8: just crazy good. So we'll fish tricos early, just a
43:14
Speaker 8: single dry. Yes. And then probably like either a nymph
43:17
Speaker 8: rig or even streamers are working. You know, you can
43:21
Speaker 8: kind of mix it up through the day depending on
43:22
Speaker 8: what the fish are doing.
43:23
Speaker 1: So is there any... like theory that because the water
43:29
Speaker 1: was dry, it was warm. You probably didn't have as
43:33
Speaker 1: many fishermen. There wasn't as much pressure as in a
43:36
Speaker 1: normal summer. Do you think?
43:39
Speaker 8: Well, that's 100% the case, right? I mean, we weren't fishing.
43:43
Speaker 8: We didn't do any guide trips. I mean, there was,
43:46
Speaker 8: there was a time there where we were just, you know,
43:48
Speaker 8: like when you came out, we were shutting down fishing
43:50
Speaker 8: early in the morning. Yeah. And then, uh, After, I
43:55
Speaker 8: want to say, Chip, not long after you and I fished,
43:59
Speaker 8: we just stopped taking trips down there altogether. So we
44:02
Speaker 8: didn't put any pressure on the lower river. And, you know,
44:05
Speaker 8: there might have been some members of the public down
44:07
Speaker 8: there fishing, but not many. And so, yeah, I mean,
44:11
Speaker 8: when we had our first guide trip kind of back
44:13
Speaker 8: in there, once the water cooled off, the fishing was
44:15
Speaker 8: really good because it's like it hasn't been fished all year.
44:17
Speaker 1: Nice. So I'm ready to go. Can I come this weekend?
44:21
Speaker 8: Let's go, buddy. Let's go. Get on a plane. Drive
44:24
Speaker 8: out here. Let's do it.
44:24
Speaker 1: You're coming here. I want to mention that while I'm
44:27
Speaker 1: thinking about it. You're going to be in Round Rock, right,
44:30
Speaker 1: on Saturday for a presentation?
44:34
Speaker 8: Yeah, this Saturday I'll be down at the Living Waters
44:37
Speaker 8: Fly Shop.
44:38
Speaker 1: Okay.
44:39
Speaker 8: Chris Johnson there is a good buddy of mine. He
44:41
Speaker 8: invited me to come down and talk about fishing up
44:45
Speaker 8: in this area. So you can go to his website.
44:47
Speaker 8: I think it's, you know, just look up Living Waters
44:50
Speaker 8: Fly Fishing in Texas there, and you'll find it. And
44:52
Speaker 8: it's there under the events page. I want to say
44:54
Speaker 8: it's mid-morning, around 11 a.m., something like that.
44:56
Speaker 1: All right. So if folks want to go over and
45:00
Speaker 1: talk to somebody that knows what they're doing about fly
45:03
Speaker 1: fishing in a lot of different places, this is a
45:06
Speaker 1: great time to do that. You need to build in
45:10
Speaker 1: some extra time so you can come down to the
45:12
Speaker 1: coast and catch a few trout and redfish.
45:15
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I think I'm going to come down
45:17
Speaker 8: again for Trout Fest on the Guadalupe. And what is that?
45:21
Speaker 8: End of February, I think. And I think I'm going
45:23
Speaker 8: to be doing a presentation for that. So maybe, I
45:26
Speaker 8: don't know, maybe that's the time. Is the redfishing going
45:29
Speaker 8: to be good then?
45:30
Speaker 1: The redfishing should be good. You know, obviously in February,
45:34
Speaker 1: that's usually our coldest month. It would depend on the weather.
45:39
Speaker 1: Generally speaking, it would be a good time. Yes, sir.
45:43
Speaker 1: We need to make that happen, by the way.
45:45
Speaker 8: All right. All right. Well, let's talk about it. Okay.
45:48
Speaker 1: We will do that. How long will you book right
45:53
Speaker 1: now in the fall, depending on what the weather typically does, Nick?
45:57
Speaker 1: Between now and when would be a really good time
46:01
Speaker 1: to come up there? Late November? Late November.
46:05
Speaker 8: No, I think, honestly, once the river clears up, the
46:09
Speaker 8: fishing is going to be lights out. And so I
46:12
Speaker 8: would say... you know, what are we, October 1st? I
46:16
Speaker 8: would say 10 days from now, seven days from now
46:19
Speaker 8: is going to be the sweet spot through the end
46:21
Speaker 8: of October.
46:22
Speaker 1: Okay.
46:23
Speaker 8: The fishing can be really good in November weather, depending
46:27
Speaker 8: on the lower river, especially if you want to hike
46:29
Speaker 8: into the Canyon, the next couple of weeks is probably
46:31
Speaker 8: going to be the time to do it. Yeah. And
46:32
Speaker 8: then November, early December for the lower river. And, and look,
46:37
Speaker 8: Every year is different. Absolutely. And if we get a
46:38
Speaker 8: bunch of rain and snow, I don't know. But I
46:40
Speaker 8: tell you, Chip, the fishing up here in the winter
46:43
Speaker 8: the last several years has been phenomenal. And nobody's doing it.
46:48
Speaker 8: And it's been some of the best fishing we have. And,
46:51
Speaker 8: you know, just not a lot of people want to
46:53
Speaker 8: fish in the winter. But I tell you, you get
46:55
Speaker 8: a warm day.
46:55
Speaker 1: Yes.
46:56
Speaker 8: And, you know, we don't have any humidity here. So
46:59
Speaker 8: 45 degrees feels like T-shirt weather.
47:00
Speaker 1: No question.
47:01
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, fishing's been really good in the winter.
47:04
Speaker 8: So if you've got folks that are thinking about coming
47:06
Speaker 8: up to maybe do a ski trip or just wanting
47:09
Speaker 8: to get out of Texas, you know, don't hesitate to
47:12
Speaker 8: throw the fly rod in the car.
47:14
Speaker 1: That is so cool because, you know, I know here
47:18
Speaker 1: when fronts start coming in, just fishing along the coast,
47:21
Speaker 1: I always talk about, hey, two days after the front,
47:24
Speaker 1: you know, things are going to settle down. The water
47:27
Speaker 1: will warm up a little bit for these kind of fish.
47:31
Speaker 1: And that's the time to be there. And I'm guessing
47:34
Speaker 1: the same holds with you. You'll have some storms come through.
47:37
Speaker 1: You'll have some snow being dumped. But then you may
47:41
Speaker 1: have a week of bluebird kind of skies and weather, right?
47:46
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I tell you, like, you can have some
47:48
Speaker 8: really good fishing on those snowy days. Yes. Because you
47:51
Speaker 8: get low light and the trout will come to the
47:53
Speaker 8: surface and rise. Some of our best days of dry
47:55
Speaker 8: fly fishing in the winter are when it's snowing. The
47:58
Speaker 8: trout are a lot more agreeable to these weather conditions
48:02
Speaker 8: than saltwater fish. I mean, saltwater, you know, I've done
48:06
Speaker 8: a fair amount of it. Yes. A cold front, some clouds,
48:09
Speaker 8: some wind, and you're in a tough spot. Trout fishing,
48:13
Speaker 8: you can have success on about any day, you know,
48:17
Speaker 8: given that it's not too extreme. In the winter, it's
48:19
Speaker 8: more about probably comfort level. I mean, if it's real
48:22
Speaker 8: cold and nasty, you just don't want to be out there. But, yeah,
48:24
Speaker 8: I mean, you can have good fishing even on a
48:27
Speaker 8: snowy day. Certainly when you get a warm spell, it
48:31
Speaker 8: is great to be out there.
48:32
Speaker 1: You're killing me, man. I'm just telling you. I'm sitting
48:35
Speaker 1: here looking out at the concrete. You're killing me.
48:38
Speaker 11: Yeah.
48:40
Speaker 1: Did you tell me, did I get this right, did
48:42
Speaker 1: you go to Cuba this last year?
48:45
Speaker 8: No, we have not been to Cuba in a little while.
48:49
Speaker 8: We did some fishing trips to Mexico, which were great.
48:52
Speaker 7: Oh, that's right.
48:53
Speaker 8: We went to Christmas Island.
48:55
Speaker 1: Okay.
48:55
Speaker 8: Yeah. Okay. Yeah, and Argentina. I did a couple trips
48:58
Speaker 8: down to Argentina. Oh, you did? Yeah.
49:00
Speaker 1: Patagonia?
49:01
Speaker 8: Patagonia, and we did northern Argentina for Golden Dorado.
49:07
Speaker 1: Nice.
49:08
Speaker 4: How was that?
49:08
Speaker 7: Fantastic.
49:09
Speaker 9: It was great.
49:10
Speaker 8: It was great. I mean, we've been doing that trip
49:13
Speaker 8: for a long time, and we've got some great friends
49:15
Speaker 8: down there that guide us, and we just have a blast.
49:18
Speaker 8: and we just eat and drink and fish our way
49:21
Speaker 8: across the country. I mean, what else could you ask for?
49:24
Speaker 1: Well, you couldn't. That's awesome. And as we were talking beforehand,
49:30
Speaker 1: this is hunting season, bow hunting season. I guess rifle
49:34
Speaker 1: season starts next week.
49:37
Speaker 8: Yeah, rifle season's getting ready to start, depending on the
49:40
Speaker 8: unit you're in. We just wrapped up archery season. I
49:44
Speaker 8: was lucky enough to get a nice mule deer buck
49:47
Speaker 8: a couple weeks ago with the bow, and my dad's
49:49
Speaker 8: coming up for an elk hunt here next week. So,
49:53
Speaker 8: you know, fingers crossed we get a little more meat
49:55
Speaker 8: in the freezer.
49:56
Speaker 1: For those who haven't done it, Nick, and the opportunities
50:00
Speaker 1: given when starting at the end of this season, when
50:04
Speaker 1: do they start accepting– applications for next year's hunt?
50:09
Speaker 8: Oh, you know, that's a good question. I'm not exactly
50:11
Speaker 8: sure the date, but I want to say it's, it's yeah,
50:14
Speaker 8: probably around the first of the year when the jaw
50:16
Speaker 8: opens January sometime. And, um, typically you got to have
50:20
Speaker 8: your applications in by, uh, don't quote me on this deadline,
50:25
Speaker 8: March 1st or something. And then you find out by,
50:28
Speaker 8: you know, a month later you get, you know, you get,
50:31
Speaker 8: you find out if you got a tag or not.
50:32
Speaker 8: And then, uh, You know, it's not the easiest state
50:35
Speaker 8: to draw a tag for residents and non-residents. Right. But
50:41
Speaker 8: that translates to if you do draw a tag, there's
50:43
Speaker 8: not a lot of other hunters out there.
50:45
Speaker 1: And it's pretty, you know, I.
50:47
Speaker 8: Mean, New Mexico's got some incredible big game. They do.
50:49
Speaker 8: Without a doubt.
50:50
Speaker 1: No question. I think it's kind of underrated, actually, as
50:54
Speaker 1: in my mind is the fishing because people in Texas sometimes,
50:58
Speaker 1: drive through New Mexico to get to Colorado, and I'm
51:01
Speaker 1: just telling you, you're missing out.
51:04
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I mean, Chip, you and I have
51:06
Speaker 8: had a lot of great fishing.
51:08
Speaker 1: We have.
51:08
Speaker 8: Look, you know, sometimes we've had, like, you know, like
51:10
Speaker 8: this year, although we made the most of our day
51:12
Speaker 8: in July.
51:12
Speaker 7: Hey, we did.
51:13
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you, we had a fabulous day.
51:15
Speaker 1: Given the fact that it was 90-something degrees, the water
51:19
Speaker 1: was low, We actually caught trout early. I love catching
51:24
Speaker 1: smallmouth bass. If people haven't done that, those little devils
51:28
Speaker 1: fight like crazy. And you were trying to catch us
51:31
Speaker 1: a big pike. And we had one look, I think,
51:35
Speaker 1: while we were there.
51:36
Speaker 8: It was more than a look. If you recall, I
51:39
Speaker 8: remember now. I remember the exact spot. He ate your
51:42
Speaker 8: streamer and just bit right through the leader.
51:44
Speaker 1: That's right. That's right.
51:47
Speaker 8: Yeah, he nailed it. We just didn't have the right
51:48
Speaker 8: leader on. We were fishing for bass, and I should
51:51
Speaker 8: have had that wire leader on. Well, I've.
51:54
Speaker 1: I've lost a lot more fish than I've caught, as
51:56
Speaker 1: you well know. But this guy, I'm just telling you,
52:01
Speaker 1: he is really good at what he does. If you
52:03
Speaker 1: guys want to go up and fish through the Taos
52:07
Speaker 1: Fly Shop, Nick has tremendous guides. And how many guides
52:11
Speaker 1: will you keep through, quote, the down season during fall
52:16
Speaker 1: and into winter, Nick?
52:18
Speaker 8: You know, things drop off pretty fast around November, and
52:23
Speaker 8: we go down to kind of a small crew of
52:25
Speaker 8: about two to three guides through the winter. Okay. And then,
52:29
Speaker 8: you know, we ramp back up in the spring up
52:31
Speaker 8: to about, you know, 12 guides working through the summer.
52:34
Speaker 1: So, as we've mentioned, if you want to go and
52:37
Speaker 1: have the river virtually by yourself and have good fishing,
52:41
Speaker 1: it's a great time to be on the water.
52:45
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This next... Especially after this storm, I'm
52:50
Speaker 8: really looking forward to the fall fishing. It's beautiful up here.
52:54
Speaker 8: The weather is going to be great. This next six
52:57
Speaker 8: weeks is going to be killer.
52:59
Speaker 1: You're killing me, man. Seriously, you may be hearing from me,
53:04
Speaker 1: but for sure, we're going to try to get together
53:08
Speaker 1: in February when you come back. That sounds good. Nick,
53:13
Speaker 1: what's the best way for folks to get in touch
53:17
Speaker 1: with the Taos Fly Shop and book a trip?
53:21
Speaker 8: Well, you can book online, taosflyshop.com. If you don't mind
53:26
Speaker 8: picking up the phone, 575-751-1312. The nice thing is you
53:33
Speaker 8: get someone at the shop and all of the folks
53:36
Speaker 8: that work the shop also guide. So you get to
53:38
Speaker 8: talk to the people that are actually taking you out.
53:40
Speaker 8: You get to kind of you know, tell us what you're,
53:43
Speaker 8: you know, what you want to do. Like you like
