  you?
• 0:16
  And
• 0:16
  as
• 0:16
  always,
• 0:16
  I'm
• 0:17
  just
• 0:17
  trying
• 0:17
  to
• 0:17
  stay
• 0:17
  out
• 0:17
  of
• 0:17
  trouble.
• 0:18
  And
• 0:18
  all
• 0:19
  joking
• 0:19
  aside,
• 0:20
  you
• 0:20
  guys
• 0:20
  are
• 0:20
  firmly
• 0:21
  in
• 0:21
  pumpkin
• 0:21
  spice
• 0:22
  latte
• 0:22
  land
• 0:22
  now
• 0:22
  in
• 0:23
  State
• 0:23
  College.
• 0:23
  Oh,
• 0:24
  very
• 0:24
  much
• 0:24
  so.
• 0:25
  I've
• 0:25
  got
• 0:25
  my
• 0:25
  turtleneck
• 0:26
  on
• 0:26
  and
• 0:26
  everything.
• 0:26
  It
• 0:27
  is,
• 0:27
  it
• 0:27
  is
• 0:28
  fall.
• 0:28
  Our
• 0:28
  temps
• 0:29
  are
• 0:29
  dropping.
• 0:30
  We
• 0:30
  had
• 0:30
  the
• 0:31
  first
• 0:31
  little
• 0:31
  frost
• 0:31
  of
• 0:32
  the
• 0:32
  year
• 0:32
  out
• 0:32
  here
• 0:32
  in
• 0:33
  the
• 0:33
  State
• 0:33
  College
• 0:33
  area
• 0:34
  last
• 0:34
  night.
• 0:34
  So
• 0:34
  temps
• 0:35
  are
• 0:35
  dropping
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  it
• 0:38
  is,
• 0:38
  it
• 0:38
  is
• 0:38
  officially
• 0:39
  fall.
• 0:40
  Water
• 0:40
  is
• 0:41
  still
• 0:41
  low
• 0:41
  and
• 0:42
  clear.
• 0:42
  We
• 0:43
  haven't
• 0:43
  gotten
• 0:43
  a
• 0:43
  good
• 0:43
  push
• 0:44
  of
• 0:44
  fall
• 0:44
  rain
• 0:44
  yet.
• 0:45
  We
• 0:45
  are
• 0:45
  slated
• 0:46
  to
• 0:46
  get
• 0:46
  a
• 0:46
  little
• 0:46
  bit
• 0:47
  Sunday
• 0:47
  into
• 0:47
  Monday.
• 0:48
  You
• 0:49
  know,
• 0:49
  went
• 0:49
  from
• 0:49
  an
• 0:49
  inch
• 0:50
  forecast
• 0:50
  yesterday
• 0:51
  to
• 0:51
  about
• 0:51
  a
• 0:52
  half
• 0:52
  inch
• 0:52
  now,
• 0:52
  so
• 0:53
  I
• 0:53
  guess
• 0:53
  we'll
• 0:53
  take
• 0:53
  what
• 0:53
  we
• 0:54
  can
• 0:54
  get.
• 0:55
  Levels
• 0:55
  are
• 0:56
  seasonal.
• 0:56
  They're
• 0:56
  just
• 0:57
  kind
• 0:57
  of
• 0:57
  below
• 0:57
  seasonal
• 0:58
  averages
• 0:58
  right
• 0:58
  now.
• 0:59
  So
• 0:59
  we're
• 0:59
  not
• 1:00
  that
• 1:00
  far
• 1:00
  off.
• 1:00
  But
• 1:01
  rain
• 1:01
  would
• 1:01
  be
• 1:01
  a
• 1:01
  good
• 1:01
  thing.
• 1:03
  Fishing
• 1:03
  on
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  fishing
• 1:04
  front,
• 1:04
  you
• 1:04
  know,
• 1:04
  we're
• 1:05
  still
• 1:05
  seeing
• 1:05
  some
• 1:06
  terrestrials
• 1:06
  work
• 1:06
  in
• 1:06
  the
• 1:07
  late
• 1:07
  afternoons,
• 1:07
  ants
• 1:08
  hoppers
• 1:09
  when
• 1:09
  it
• 1:09
  warms
• 1:09
  up
• 1:09
  a
• 1:09
  bit.
• 1:10
  But
• 1:10
  I
• 1:10
  think
• 1:10
  with
• 1:10
  this
• 1:10
  cold
• 1:11
  weather
• 1:11
  that's
• 1:11
  probably
• 1:12
  going
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  shut
• 1:12
  that
• 1:12
  down.
• 1:13
  There's
• 1:13
  still
• 1:13
  some
• 1:14
  Octobers
• 1:14
  around,
• 1:15
  Some
• 1:15
  olives
• 1:15
  have
• 1:16
  been
• 1:16
  around.
• 1:16
  ISOs
• 1:17
  have
• 1:17
  been
• 1:17
  sporadic,
• 1:18
  so
• 1:18
  not
• 1:18
  a
• 1:18
  ton
• 1:19
  on
• 1:19
  top.
• 1:20
  But
• 1:21
  nymphing
• 1:21
  has
• 1:21
  been,
• 1:22
  you
• 1:22
  know,
• 1:22
  small
• 1:23
  stuff,
• 1:23
  light
• 1:23
  tippet,
• 1:25
  long
• 1:25
  leaders.
• 1:25
  That's
• 1:26
  really
• 1:26
  been
• 1:26
  the
• 1:26
  key.
• 1:27
  Right
• 1:27
  now,
• 1:27
  as
• 1:27
  you
• 1:27
  know,
• 1:27
  we're
• 1:28
  down.
• 1:28
  We're
• 1:28
  using
• 1:28
  6,
• 1:29
  7x.
• 1:29
  With
• 1:30
  this
• 1:30
  low
• 1:30
  clear
• 1:30
  water,
• 1:30
  it's
• 1:31
  going
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  be
• 1:31
  way
• 1:32
  more
• 1:32
  productive
• 1:33
  than,
• 1:33
  you
• 1:33
  know,
• 1:34
  some
• 1:34
  thicker
• 1:34
  tippets.
• 1:35
  So
• 1:35
  take
• 1:35
  your
• 1:35
  time,
• 1:35
  work
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  water.
• 1:36
  Well,
• 1:37
  a
• 1:37
  lot
• 1:37
  of
• 1:37
  the
• 1:38
  guides
• 1:38
  have
• 1:38
  been
• 1:38
  reporting
• 1:39
  on.
• 1:39
  I've
• 1:39
  seen
• 1:39
  it
• 1:40
  too.
• 1:40
  The
• 1:40
  past
• 1:40
  couple
• 1:40
  of
• 1:41
  weeks
• 1:41
  just
• 1:41
  bite
• 1:41
  windows
• 1:42
  have
• 1:42
  been,
• 1:42
  you
• 1:42
  know,
• 1:43
  limited.
• 1:43
  You
• 1:43
  get
• 1:43
  a
• 1:43
  two,
• 1:44
  three
• 1:44
  hour
• 1:44
  window
• 1:44
  in
• 1:45
  the
• 1:45
  afternoon
• 1:45
  and
• 1:45
  then
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  fishing's
• 1:46
  just
• 1:46
  been
• 1:46
  kind
• 1:46
  of
• 1:47
  on
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  slow
• 1:47
  end.
• 1:47
  So
• 1:48
  fishing's
• 1:49
  been
• 1:49
  tough,
• 1:49
  it's
• 1:49
  been
• 1:49
  technical,
• 1:50
  but
• 1:50
  with
• 1:51
  this
• 1:51
  cold
• 1:51
  weather,
• 1:51
  the
• 1:52
  fish
• 1:52
  should
• 1:52
  really
• 1:52
  start
• 1:52
  moving.
• 1:53
  Starting
• 1:53
  to
• 1:53
  get
• 1:53
  those
• 1:54
  nice
• 1:54
  full
• 1:54
  colors.
• 1:55
  Hopefully
• 1:56
  a
• 1:56
  little
• 1:56
  push
• 1:56
  of
• 1:57
  water
• 1:57
  is
• 1:57
  going
• 1:57
  to
• 1:57
  turn
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  streamer
• 1:58
  bite
• 1:58
  on
• 1:58
  because
• 1:58
  we
• 1:59
  are
• 1:59
  just
• 1:59
  about
• 1:59
  there.
• 2:00
  Yeah,
• 2:00
  I'd
• 2:01
  say.
• 2:01
  And
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  rain's
• 2:02
  also
• 2:02
  gonna
• 2:02
  turn
• 2:02
  on
• 2:02
  the
• 2:03
  steelhead
• 2:03
  bite,
• 2:03
  right?
• 2:04
  Oh,
• 2:05
  for
• 2:05
  sure,
• 2:05
  for
• 2:05
  sure.
• 2:06
  I
• 2:06
  mean,
• 2:06
  they
• 2:06
  need
• 2:06
  a
• 2:07
  lot
• 2:07
  of
• 2:07
  water
• 2:07
  up
• 2:07
  there
• 2:07
  to
• 2:07
  get
• 2:08
  those
• 2:08
  fish
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  there.
• 2:08
  But
• 2:08
  I
• 2:09
  think,
• 2:09
  you
• 2:09
  know,
• 2:09
  steelhead
• 2:10
  should
• 2:10
  really
• 2:10
  start
• 2:10
  picking
• 2:11
  up
• 2:11
  in
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  Next
• 2:11
  couple
• 2:11
  weeks.
• 2:12
  Yeah,
• 2:12
  and
• 2:13

• 2:13
  always,
