  I

  always
• 0:19
  do,
• 0:20
  took
• 0:20
  a
• 0:20
  quick
• 0:20
  look
• 0:20
  at
• 0:21
  your
• 0:21
  weather
• 0:21
  and,
• 0:21
  you
• 0:21
  know,
• 0:22
  you
• 0:22
  are
• 0:22
  in
• 0:22
  the
• 0:22
  official
• 0:23
  fall
• 0:23
  groove
• 0:24
  in
• 0:24
  central.
• 0:24
  Padded.
• 0:26
  We
• 0:26
  are
• 0:26
  indeed.
• 0:26
  The
• 0:27
  leaves
• 0:27
  are
• 0:27
  turning
• 0:28
  and
• 0:28
  falling.
• 0:29
  We've
• 0:29
  got
• 0:29
  some
• 0:29
  nice
• 0:30
  cool
• 0:30
  weather.
• 0:30
  We
• 0:30
  just
• 0:31
  had
• 0:32
  a
• 0:32
  good
• 0:32
  amount
• 0:32
  of
• 0:32
  rain
• 0:33
  up
• 0:33
  here.
• 0:33
  Not
• 0:33
  as
• 0:33
  much
• 0:33
  as
• 0:34
  those
• 0:34
  poor
• 0:34
  folks
• 0:34
  down
• 0:35
  south,
• 0:35
  but
• 0:35
  our
• 0:36
  stream
• 0:36
  levels
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  really
• 0:37
  good
• 0:38
  right
• 0:38
  now.
• 0:38
  We
• 0:39
  are
• 0:40
  at
• 0:41
  average
• 0:41
  or
• 0:41
  a
• 0:41
  little
• 0:41
  above.
• 0:42
  Everything's
• 0:42
  got
• 0:43
  a
• 0:43
  little
• 0:43
  bit
• 0:43
  of
• 0:43
  color
• 0:43
  to
• 0:44
  it
• 0:44
  and
• 0:44
  flows
• 0:45
  have
• 0:45
  been
• 0:45
  pretty
• 0:46
  good.
• 0:46
  Fishing
• 0:47
  has
• 0:47
  definitely
• 0:47
  picked
• 0:48
  up.
• 0:48
  I
• 0:48
  got
• 0:48
  out
• 0:48
  a
• 0:48
  couple
• 0:48
  of
• 0:49
  days
• 0:49
  ago
• 0:49
  and
• 0:49
  the
• 0:49
  nymphing
• 0:50
  was
• 0:50
  great.
• 0:50
  Streamer
• 0:51
  bite
• 0:51
  is
• 0:51
  starting
• 0:52
  to
• 0:52
  pick
• 0:52
  up.
• 0:52
  We're
• 0:53
  seeing
• 0:53
  some
• 0:53
  olives,
• 0:54
  we're
• 0:54
  seeing
• 0:54
  isos,
• 0:54
  we're
• 0:55
  seeing
• 0:55
  October
• 0:55
  cattus.
• 0:56
  We
• 0:57
  got
• 0:57
  a
• 0:57
  little
• 0:57
  shot
• 0:57
  of
• 0:57
  sun
• 0:58
  again,
• 0:58
  which
• 0:58
  is
• 0:58
  nice.
• 0:59
  So
• 0:59
  terrestrials
• 1:00
  should
• 1:01
  be
• 1:01
  working
• 1:01
  pretty
• 1:01
  good.
• 1:02
  Ants,
• 1:02
  beetles,
• 1:03
  crickets,
• 1:03
  things
• 1:04
  like
• 1:04
  that.
• 1:04
  Got
• 1:04
  a
• 1:05
  little
• 1:05
  bit
• 1:05
  of
• 1:05
  the
• 1:05
  warmer,
• 1:06
  sunny
• 1:06
  weather,
• 1:06
  bring
• 1:07
  them
• 1:07
  out.
• 1:08
  So
• 1:08
  fall
• 1:08
  fishing
• 1:09
  is
• 1:09
  really
• 1:09
  picking
• 1:09
  up
• 1:10
  well
• 1:11
  and
• 1:12
  might
• 1:12
  be
• 1:12
  time
• 1:12
  to
• 1:13
  start
• 1:13
  looking
• 1:13
  for
• 1:13
  reds
• 1:13
  in
• 1:14
  the
• 1:14
  next
• 1:14
  couple
• 1:14
  of
• 1:14
  weeks.
• 1:15
  Usually
• 1:15
  spring
• 1:15
  creek,
• 1:16
  we
• 1:16
  start
• 1:16
  seeing
• 1:16
  them
• 1:16
  by
• 1:17
  mid
• 1:17
  October.
• 1:17
  So
• 1:18
  keep
• 1:18
  your
• 1:19
  eyes
• 1:19
  peeled
• 1:19
  for
• 1:20
  fish
• 1:20
  that
• 1:20
  are
• 1:20
  going
• 1:20
  to
• 1:20
  start
• 1:21
  spawning.
• 1:21
  And
• 1:21
  we
• 1:22
  got
• 1:22
  a
• 1:22
  couple
• 1:22
  nice
• 1:22
  ones
• 1:22
  on
• 1:23
  streamers
• 1:23
  of
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  day
• 1:23
  that
• 1:23
  we're
• 1:24
  definitely
• 1:24
  getting
• 1:24
  their
• 1:24
  fall
• 1:24
  colors
• 1:25
  on.
• 1:25
  So
• 1:26
  fall
• 1:26
  is
• 1:26
  here.
• 1:27
  Yeah.
• 1:27
  And
• 1:27
  so
• 1:28
  for
• 1:28
  folks,
• 1:28
  you
• 1:28
  know,
• 1:29
  we'll.
• 1:29
  We're
• 1:29
  going
• 1:29
  to
• 1:29
  beat
• 1:30
  this
• 1:30
  to
• 1:30
  death
• 1:30
  over
• 1:30
  probably
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  next
• 1:31
  four
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  six
• 1:31
  weeks.
• 1:32
  But
• 1:32
  you
• 1:32
  know,
• 1:33
  you
• 1:33
  can
• 1:33
  recognize
• 1:33
  those
• 1:34
  reds
• 1:34
  because
• 1:34
  it
• 1:34
  literally
• 1:35
  looks
• 1:35
  like
• 1:35
  somebody
• 1:35
  went
• 1:35
  out
• 1:36
  and
• 1:36
  swept
• 1:36
  a
• 1:36
  perfect
• 1:37
  little
• 1:37
  nice
• 1:37
  circle
• 1:38
  in
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  bottom
• 1:38
  of
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  stream
• 1:39
  bed.
• 1:40
  Yeah,
• 1:41
  for
• 1:41
  sure.
• 1:41
  You
• 1:41
  know,
• 1:41
  not
• 1:42
  necessarily
• 1:42
  a
• 1:42
  circle,
• 1:43
  but
• 1:43
  it
• 1:43
  looks
• 1:43
  like
• 1:43
  a
• 1:44
  bunch
• 1:44
  of
• 1:44
  cleared,
• 1:44
  polished
• 1:45
  rocks.
• 1:45
  That's
• 1:45
  what
• 1:45
  you
• 1:45
  want
• 1:46
  to
• 1:46
  look
• 1:46
  out
• 1:46
  for.
• 1:46
  Yeah,
• 1:47
  don't
• 1:47
  tread
• 1:47
  on
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  reds,
• 1:48
  right,
• 1:49
  exactly,
• 1:50
  exactly.
• 1:51
  And
• 1:51
  so
• 1:51
  of
• 1:52
  course,
• 1:52
  as
• 1:52
  it
• 1:52
  gets
• 1:52
  colder,
• 1:53
  it
• 1:53
  also
• 1:53
  means
• 1:54
  good
• 1:54
  drinking
• 1:54
  weather.
• 1:54
  You
• 1:55
  might
• 1:55
  have
• 1:55
  a
• 1:55
  brewing
• 1:55
  bugs
• 1:55
  event
• 1:56
  coming
• 1:56
  up
• 1:56
  too,
• 1:56
  right?
• 1:57
  We
• 1:58
  do
• 1:58
  indeed.
• 1:58
  We've
• 1:59
  got
• 1:59
  our
• 1:59
  steelhead
• 2:00
  brewing
• 2:00
  bugs
• 2:00
  coming
• 2:01
  up
• 2:01

  Steve.
• 2:05
  He's
• 2:06
  a
• 2:06
  outstanding
• 2:07
  steelhead
• 2:07
  fisherman.
• 2:08
  Ties

  to
• 2:08
  mean
• 2:08
  flies.
• 2:09
  So

  that,
• 2:16
  you
