  I'm

• 0:15
  you

  it's
• 0:16
  interesting,
• 0:17
  you
• 0:17
  know,
• 0:17
  after
• 0:17
  weeks
• 0:18
  and
• 0:18
  weeks
• 0:18
  of
• 0:18
  you
• 0:18
  getting
• 0:19
  to
• 0:19
  fish
• 0:19
  like
• 0:19
  3,000
• 0:20
  plus
• 0:20
  CFS
• 0:21
  on
• 0:21
  the
• 0:21
  south
• 0:21
  Holston,
• 0:22
  you
• 0:23
  were
• 0:23
  telling
• 0:23
  me
• 0:23
  that
• 0:23
  it's
• 0:24
  down
• 0:24
  to
• 0:24
  a
• 0:24
  very
• 0:24
  tame
• 0:25
  400
• 0:25
  cfs
• 0:26
  now.
• 0:26
  Yeah.
• 0:27
  And
• 0:28
  they're
• 0:28
  still
• 0:29
  generating.
• 0:29
  They're
• 0:30
  doing
• 0:30
  some
• 0:31
  4
• 0:31
  to
• 0:32
  8pm
• 0:32
  pulses,
• 0:33
  which
• 0:34
  thanks
• 0:35
  to
• 0:35
  daylight
• 0:36
  savings
• 0:36
  time
• 0:37
  gives
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  about
• 0:38
  an
• 0:39
  hour
• 0:41
  before
• 0:42
  dark
• 0:42
  there.
• 0:42
  So
• 0:42
  they're,
• 0:43
  they're
• 0:43
  still
• 0:43
  generating
• 0:44
  that
• 0:44
  400
• 0:45
  CFs
• 0:46
  is,
• 0:47
  is
• 0:47
  what
• 0:48
  has
• 0:49
  been
• 0:50
  historically
• 0:51
  10
• 0:52
  CFs.
• 0:53
  And,
• 0:53
  and
• 0:54
  so
• 0:54
  the,
• 0:54
  you
• 0:54
  know
• 0:55
  what
• 0:55
  that
• 0:55
  looks
• 0:55
  like
• 0:55
  on
• 0:56
  a.
• 0:58
  You
• 0:58
  know
• 0:58
  what
• 0:58
  a
• 0:58
  day
• 0:59
  looks
• 0:59
  like
• 0:59
  is
• 1:01
  historically
• 1:02
  10
• 1:03
  CFs
• 1:04
  as
• 1:04
  it's
• 1:05
  reported.
• 1:05
  There's
• 1:05
  not
• 1:05
  many
• 1:06
  creeks
• 1:06
  in
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  south
• 1:06
  holes
• 1:07
  and
• 1:07
  you
• 1:08
  can't
• 1:08
  float
• 1:08
  it.
• 1:09
  And
• 1:09
  it's
• 1:09
  very
• 1:10
  skinny
• 1:10
  when
• 1:10
  you
• 1:10
  wait.
• 1:11
  And
• 1:14
  I
• 1:14
  don't
• 1:14
  even
• 1:14
  need
• 1:14
  to
• 1:15
  tread
• 1:15
  lightly
• 1:15
  on
• 1:15
  this
• 1:16
  one
• 1:16
  just
• 1:16
  because
• 1:17
  like
• 1:18
  everyone,
• 1:21
  people
• 1:21
  can
• 1:21
  disagree
• 1:22
  about
• 1:22
  how
• 1:22
  you
• 1:22
  fish
• 1:24
  during
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  spawn
• 1:24
  and
• 1:25
  whether
• 1:25
  or
• 1:25
  not
• 1:25
  reds
• 1:26
  are
• 1:26
  sporting
• 1:27
  or
• 1:27
  what
• 1:28
  guides
• 1:28
  should
• 1:28
  be
• 1:28
  doing
• 1:29
  around
• 1:29
  them.
• 1:31
  Everyone
• 1:31
  can
• 1:32
  agree
• 1:32
  when
• 1:32
  you
• 1:32
  look,
• 1:33
  just
• 1:33
  visually
• 1:34
  go
• 1:34
  up
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  the
• 1:35
  upper
• 1:35
  South
• 1:35
  Holston,
• 1:38
  arguably
• 1:39
  one
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  best
• 1:41
  trout
• 1:41
  streams
• 1:42
  in
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  eastern
• 1:43
  United
• 1:43
  States,
• 1:45
  and
• 1:46
  look
• 1:46
  at
• 1:46
  it
• 1:47
  at
• 1:47
  10
• 1:47
  cfs
• 1:49
  and
• 1:49
  it's,
• 1:50
  it's
• 1:50
  brutal.
• 1:51
  And
• 1:51
  there's
• 1:51
  been
• 1:52
  some
• 1:52
  times
• 1:52
  where
• 1:53
  they,
• 1:53
  they
• 1:53
  shut
• 1:54
  the
• 1:55
  generation
• 1:56
  off
• 1:56
  completely
• 1:57
  and,
• 1:57
  you
• 1:57
  know,
• 1:57
  they
• 1:57
  put
• 1:57
  multimillion
• 1:58
  dollar
• 1:58
  weirs
• 1:59
  in
• 1:59
  there
• 1:59
  to
• 1:59
  keep
• 2:00
  it
• 2:00
  oxygenated.
• 2:00
  And
• 2:02
  there
• 2:02
  really
• 2:02
  are
• 2:03
  so
• 2:03
  many
• 2:03
  fish.
• 2:03
  And
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  bug
• 2:04
  life
• 2:04
  is
• 2:04
  great.
• 2:05
  Dry
• 2:05
  fly
• 2:05
  fish,
• 2:05
  all
• 2:06
  this
• 2:06
  stuff.
• 2:07
  You
• 2:07
  look
• 2:07
  at
• 2:08
  it
• 2:08
  and
• 2:08
  it
• 2:08
  looks,
• 2:09
  it
• 2:10
  looks
• 2:10
  like
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  picture
• 2:10
  that
• 2:11
  you
• 2:11
  would
• 2:11
  see
• 2:11
  from
• 2:12
  out
• 2:12
  west
• 2:12
  during
• 2:13
  some
• 2:13
  sort
• 2:13
  of
• 2:14
  catastrophic
• 2:14
  drought
• 2:15
  and
• 2:15
  fish
• 2:15
  kill.
• 2:16
  And
• 2:16
  it,
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  that's
• 2:17
  every
• 2:18
  day
• 2:18
  at
• 2:18
  10
• 2:19
  cfs.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  so.
• 2:21
  And
• 2:21
  then
• 2:21
  you
• 2:21
  have
• 2:21
  generation
• 2:22
  and,
• 2:22
  you
• 2:22
  know,
• 2:23
  big
• 2:23
  water
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  this
• 2:24
  400
• 2:25
  cfs.
• 2:27
  I
• 2:27
  haven't
• 2:27
  talked
• 2:28
  with
• 2:28
  any.
• 2:28
  This
• 2:29
  is
• 2:29
  just
• 2:29
  in
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  last
• 2:30
  couple
• 2:30
  days.
• 2:30
  But
• 2:31
  there's
• 2:31
  been
• 2:31
  a
• 2:31
  push
• 2:32
  to
• 2:32
  increase
• 2:32
  minimum
• 2:33
  flows
• 2:33
  because
• 2:34
  of
• 2:34
  that.
• 2:36
  There,
• 2:37
  there
• 2:37
  have
• 2:37
  been
• 2:38
  a
• 2:38
  few
• 2:39
  times
• 2:39
  where,
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  mean,
• 2:40
  massive
• 2:41
  weed
• 2:41
  beds
• 2:41
  have
• 2:42
  dried
• 2:42
  up.
• 2:42
  Whole
• 2:43
  sections
• 2:43
  of
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  river
• 2:44
  just
• 2:45
  look
• 2:45
  like
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  Wasteland.
• 2:46
  And
• 2:47
  that
• 2:47
  10
• 2:48
  CFS
• 2:48
  is
• 2:48
  the
• 2:48
  baseline
• 2:49
  is
• 2:50
  kind
• 2:50
  of.
• 2:51
  It's
• 2:52
  a
• 2:52
  bad
• 2:52
  starting
• 2:53
  point.
• 2:53
  And
• 2:53
  so
• 2:54
  I
• 2:54
  don't
• 2:55
  know
• 2:55
  if
• 2:55
  this
• 2:55
  is
• 2:56
  an
• 2:56
  indication
• 2:57
  of
• 2:57
  that.
• 2:59
  Speaking
• 3:00
  very
• 3:00
  candidly
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  completely
• 3:02
  off
• 3:02
  script,
• 3:03
  not
• 3:03
  saying
• 3:04
  this
• 3:04
  is
• 3:04
  what's
• 3:04
  happening,
• 3:05
  but
• 3:06
  this
• 3:06
  is
• 3:06
  a
• 3:06
  busy
• 3:07
  time
• 3:07
  of
• 3:07
  year
• 3:07
  for
• 3:07
  people
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  be
• 3:08
  fishing
• 3:10
  for
• 3:10
  brown
• 3:10
  trout
• 3:11
  in
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  tailwater.
• 3:14
  So
• 3:14
  I've
• 3:15
  seen,
• 3:15
  I've
• 3:16
  seen
• 3:16
  flows
• 3:16
  and
• 3:16
  schedules
• 3:17
  of
• 3:17
  releases
• 3:18
  become
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  little
• 3:19
  more
• 3:19
  friendly
• 3:19
  to
• 3:20
  daylight
• 3:20
  fishing
• 3:21
  hours
• 3:22
  round
• 3:23
  about
• 3:23
  this
• 3:24
  time
• 3:24
  of
• 3:24
  year
• 3:24
  before.
• 3:25
  I
• 3:25
  don't
• 3:25
  know
• 3:25
  if
• 3:26
  this
• 3:26
  is
• 3:26
  that.
• 3:26
  I
• 3:26
  don't
• 3:27
  know
• 3:27
  if
• 3:27
  this
• 3:27
  is
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  minimum
• 3:28
  flow
• 3:28
  change,
• 3:31
  but
• 3:31
  either
• 3:31
  way,
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  went
• 3:32
  out
• 3:33
  and
• 3:34
  fished
• 3:35
  it
• 3:35
  yesterday
• 3:35
  with
• 3:35
  my
• 3:35
  buddy
• 3:36
  Jack,
• 3:36
  and
• 3:36
  it's.
• 3:37
  That
• 3:38
  400's
• 3:38
  fun.
• 3:39
  It's.
• 3:40
  It's
• 3:40
  not
• 3:41
  too
• 3:41
  big
• 3:41
  and
• 3:41
  pushy
• 3:42
  like
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  3000,
• 3:43
  which
• 3:43
  is
• 3:43
  fun
• 3:44
  for
• 3:44
  a
• 3:44
  different
• 3:44
  reason.
• 3:44
  You
• 3:45
  can
• 3:45
  move
• 3:45
  some
• 3:45
  big
• 3:45
  fish,
• 3:46
  but
• 3:48
  there's
• 3:48
  some
• 3:48
  good
• 3:48
  lanes
• 3:49
  that
• 3:49
  are
• 3:49
  open
• 3:49
  up
• 3:50
  and
• 3:50
  there's.
• 3:51
  There's
• 3:51
  big
• 3:52
  pools
• 3:52
  in
• 3:52
  that
• 3:52
  river
• 3:53
  that
• 3:54
  when
• 3:54
  you
• 3:54
  have
• 3:55
  a
• 3:55
  thousand,
• 3:55
  1500,
• 3:56
  2000,
• 3:57
  3000,
• 3:58
  there's
• 3:58
  no
• 3:58
  chance
• 3:59
  you're
• 3:59
  getting
• 3:59
  anything
• 4:00
  down
• 4:00
  there.
• 4:00
  Even,
• 4:01
  you
• 4:01
  know,
• 4:01
  jigging
• 4:02
  something,
• 4:02
  you're.
• 4:03
  You're
• 4:04
  going
• 4:04
  to
• 4:04
  lose
• 4:04
  it.
• 4:04
  It's,
• 4:06
  you
• 4:06
  know,
• 4:06
  all
• 4:07
  these
• 4:07
  craggly
• 4:07
  rocks
• 4:08
  and
• 4:08
  boulders.
• 4:10
  So,
• 4:11
  yeah,
• 4:11
  it's.
• 4:12
  It's
• 4:12
  also
• 4:12
  waitable.
• 4:13
  And
• 4:14
  so
• 4:14
  it's
• 4:14
  not.
• 4:14
  You're
• 4:15
  not
• 4:15
  fishing
• 4:15
  this
• 4:15
  super
• 4:16
  bony
• 4:16
  stuff.
• 4:16
  You're
• 4:17
  fishing.
• 4:18
  It's
• 4:18
  kind
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  like
• 4:18
  the
• 4:19
  minimum
• 4:19
  flows
• 4:19
  on
• 4:19
  the
• 4:20
  Watauga.
• 4:20
  It's.
• 4:21
  It's
• 4:21
  been
• 4:21
  pretty
• 4:22
  cool.
• 4:23
  Well,
• 4:23
  awesome.
• 4:24
  And
• 4:24
  got
• 4:24
  a
• 4:24
  question
• 4:25
  for
• 4:25
  you.
• 4:25
  You
• 4:25
  know,
• 4:25
  I
• 4:26
  think
• 4:26
  between,
• 4:28
  you
• 4:28
  know,
• 4:28
  us
• 4:28
  talking
• 4:29
  about
• 4:29
  fishing
• 4:29
  at
• 4:29
  night
• 4:30
  and
• 4:30
  an
• 4:30
  interview
• 4:30
  I
• 4:31
  did

  with

  Frank
• 4:31
  Landis
• 4:32
  up
• 4:32
  in
• 4:32
  Paul,
• 4:33
  we've
• 4:33
  kind
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  found
• 4:34
  a
• 4:34
  new
• 4:34
  cadre
• 4:34
  of,
• 4:35
  like,
• 4:35
  night
• 4:35
  anglers
• 4:36
  and
• 4:36
  streamer
• 4:37
  fishermen.

  And

  James
• 4:38
  wrote
• 4:39
  in
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  he
• 4:39
  wanted
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  get
• 4:40
  your
• 4:40
  thoughts
• 4:40
  on
• 4:40
  how
• 4:41
  night
• 4:41
  fishing
• 4:42
  changes
• 4:42
  heading
• 4:42
  into
• 4:43
  winter.
• 4:43
  And
• 4:44
  do
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  fish
• 4:44
  become
• 4:45
  less
• 4:45
  nocturnal?
• 4:48
  Yeah.
• 4:50
  One
• 4:51
  of
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  sickest
• 4:51
  individuals
• 4:52
  I've
• 4:52
  ever
• 4:53
  met.
• 4:53
  His
• 4:53
  name
• 4:54
  is
• 4:54
  Tommy
• 4:54
  Lynch.
• 4:55
  He's
• 4:55
  a
• 4:55
  guide
• 4:55
  up
• 4:55
  in
• 4:55
  Michigan,
• 4:58
  has
• 4:58
  been
• 4:58
  doing
• 4:58
  this
• 4:58
  for
• 4:59
  a
• 4:59
  long
• 4:59
  time,
• 4:59
  and
• 5:00
  maintains
• 5:03
  that
• 5:03
  it
• 5:03
  is
• 5:03
  his
• 5:04
  favorite
• 5:04
  way
• 5:04
  to
• 5:05
  target
• 5:05
  brown
• 5:05
  trout.
• 5:08
  It's
• 5:08
  a
• 5:08
  rabbit
• 5:09
  hole
• 5:10
  that
• 5:11
  goes
• 5:11
  so
• 5:11
  deep
• 5:12
  and
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  take.
• 5:13
  You
• 5:13
  put
• 5:14
  one
• 5:14
  leg,
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  put
• 5:14
  your
• 5:15
  pinky
• 5:15
  toe
• 5:15
  into
• 5:16
  it,
• 5:16
  and
• 5:16
  all
• 5:16
  of
• 5:17
  a
• 5:17
  sudden
• 5:17
  it's.
• 5:18
  You're
• 5:19
  looking
• 5:19
  back
• 5:19
  up
• 5:20
  at
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  tiny
• 5:21
  little
• 5:21
  dot
• 5:21
  of
• 5:21
  light
• 5:22
  falling
• 5:22
  deeper
• 5:23
  and
• 5:23
  deeper.
• 5:24
  So
• 5:24
  not
• 5:25
  surprising
• 5:25
  that
• 5:25
  the
• 5:26
  new
• 5:26
  cadre
• 5:26
  has
• 5:26
  been
• 5:27
  found.
• 5:28
  It's.
• 5:29
  It's
• 5:30
  fun,
• 5:30
  it's
• 5:30
  different,
• 5:31
  it
• 5:31
  checks.
• 5:32
  It's
• 5:32
  not
• 5:32
  visual,
• 5:33
  but
• 5:33
  it's,
• 5:34
  you
• 5:34
  know,
• 5:34
  it's
• 5:34
  tactile,
• 5:35
  it's
• 5:35
  auditory,
• 5:36
  it's.
• 5:38
  It's
• 5:39
  very
• 5:39
  different.
• 5:39
  And,
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  you
• 5:40
  have
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  river
• 5:41
  to
• 5:41
  yourself.
• 5:41
  It's
• 5:41
  a
• 5:42
  very
• 5:42
  cool
• 5:42
  experience.
• 5:43
  So,
• 5:46
  yeah,
• 5:46
  as
• 5:46
  far
• 5:46
  as
• 5:46
  going
• 5:47
  into
• 5:47
  winter,
• 5:48
  I
• 5:48
  mean,
• 5:48
  if
• 5:49
  it
• 5:49
  weren't
• 5:49
  for
• 5:49
  freezing
• 5:50
  hands
• 5:50
  and
• 5:51
  ice
• 5:51
  and
• 5:53
  and
• 5:53
  just
• 5:53
  general
• 5:54
  discomfort.
• 5:55
  I
• 5:56
  would
• 5:56
  mouse
• 5:56
  in
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  winter.
• 5:57
  I
• 5:57
  mean
• 5:58
  there's
• 6:01
  mice
• 6:02
  that
• 6:02
  haven't
• 6:03
  found
• 6:04
  a
• 6:04
  place
• 6:04
  that
• 6:04
  is
• 6:05
  warm.
• 6:07
  They
• 6:08
  are
• 6:08
  nocturnal
• 6:08
  and
• 6:09
  they
• 6:09
  are
• 6:09
  also
• 6:10
  mammals
• 6:10
  and
• 6:11
  so
• 6:12
  they
• 6:13
  need
• 6:13
  to,
• 6:15
  when
• 6:15
  it's
• 6:16
  cold
• 6:16
  they
• 6:16
  actually
• 6:17
  have
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  eat
• 6:17
  and
• 6:18
  drink
• 6:18
  more
• 6:19
  in
• 6:19
  order
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  keep
• 6:19
  their
• 6:20
  body
• 6:20
  temperature
• 6:20
  up.
• 6:21
  They
• 6:22
  don't
• 6:22
  slow
• 6:22
  down
• 6:24
  and
• 6:25
  so
• 6:26
  unless
• 6:26
  they
• 6:27
  have
• 6:27
  found
• 6:27
  a
• 6:27
  place,
• 6:30
  they're
• 6:30
  going
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  be
• 6:31
  out
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  active.
• 6:32
  And
• 6:32
  tailwaters
• 6:32
  don't
• 6:33
  freeze.
• 6:34
  There's,
• 6:35
  I
• 6:35
  mean
• 6:36
  the,
• 6:36
  it's
• 6:37
  just
• 6:37
  a
• 6:37
  cool
• 6:37
  ecosystem.
• 6:38
  It's
• 6:38
  365
• 6:39
  days
• 6:39
  a
• 6:40
  year.
• 6:41
  So
• 6:42
  I've
• 6:42
  had,
• 6:42
  I've
• 6:43
  had
• 6:43
  some
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  my
• 6:43
  best
• 6:44
  nights
• 6:44
  of
• 6:44
  mousing
• 6:45
  in
• 6:47
  October
• 6:47
  and
• 6:47
  November
• 6:49
  and
• 6:49
  more
• 6:49
  of
• 6:49
  those
• 6:50
  are
• 6:50
  in
• 6:50
  October
• 6:50
  just
• 6:50
  because
• 6:51
  typically
• 6:51
  November
• 6:52
  is,
• 6:53
  you
• 6:53
  know,
• 6:53
  chillier
• 6:54
  nights.
• 6:54
  But
• 6:54
  man,
• 6:56
  it's
• 6:56
  a,
• 6:56
  it's
• 6:57
  cloudy
• 6:57
  here
• 6:57
  and
• 7:00
  it's
• 7:01
  going
• 7:01
  to
• 7:01
  be
• 7:01
  kind
• 7:01
  of
• 7:01
  warm
• 7:01
  and
• 7:02
  socked
• 7:02
  in
• 7:02
  this
• 7:02
  week.
• 7:03
  So
• 7:04
  you
• 7:04
  will
• 7:04
  be
• 7:04
  hearing
• 7:05
  more
• 7:05
  from
• 7:05
  me
• 7:05
  on
• 7:06
  that.
• 7:06
  It
• 7:06
  is
• 7:06
  a
• 7:07
  good
• 7:07
  time
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  year
• 7:07
  to
• 7:08
  fish
• 7:08
  and
• 7:08
  it's
• 7:08
  also
• 7:09
  dark
• 7:09
  at
• 7:09
  6,
• 7:09
  so
• 7:10
  you
• 7:10
  don't
• 7:11
  have
• 7:11
  to
• 7:11
  wait
• 7:12
  till
• 7:12
  11
• 7:12
  to
• 7:12
  night
• 7:13
  fish.
• 7:13
  It's,
• 7:13
  I
• 7:13
  mean
• 7:14
  I
• 7:14
  love
• 7:14
  it.
• 7:15
  It's
• 7:16
  another
• 7:17
  reason
• 7:17
  why
• 7:17
  fall
• 7:17
  becomes
• 7:18
  this
• 7:18
  like
• 7:19
  almost
• 7:19
  stressful
• 7:20
  because
• 7:20
  there's
• 7:20
  too
• 7:21
  many
• 7:21
  things
• 7:21
  to,
• 7:21
  to.
• 7:22
  I
• 7:22
  wanted
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  do
• 7:23
  a
• 7:23
  bunch
• 7:23
  of
• 7:23
  different
• 7:23
  stuff
• 7:24
  and
• 7:25
  when
• 7:25
  it's
• 7:25
  dark
• 7:26
  at
• 7:26
  6,
• 7:26
  6:30,
• 7:27
  it's
• 7:27
  like
• 7:28
  damn,
• 7:28
  dude,
• 7:29
  before
• 7:29
  dinner
• 7:29
  I
• 7:29
  could
• 7:30
  be
• 7:30
  mousing
• 7:30
  right
• 7:30
  now.
• 7:32
  Yeah.
• 7:32
  And
• 7:32
  so
• 7:32
  you
• 7:33
  know,
• 7:33
  obviously
• 7:33
  in
• 7:33
  the
• 7:34
  summertime,
• 7:34
  you
• 7:34
  know,
• 7:35
  it
• 7:35
  stays
• 7:35
  light
• 7:36
  later
• 7:37
  and
• 7:38
  so
• 7:38
  you
• 7:38
  know,
• 7:38
  but
• 7:38
  how
• 7:38
  does
• 7:39
  that
• 7:39
  translate
• 7:40
  when
• 7:40
  you
• 7:40
  have
• 7:40
  a
• 7:40
  longer
• 7:41
  period
• 7:41
  of,
• 7:42
  of
• 7:42
  nighttime
• 7:43
  in
• 7:43
  terms
• 7:43
  of
• 7:43
  like
• 7:43
  the
• 7:44
  bite
• 7:44
  window
• 7:45
  across
• 7:45
  the
• 7:46
  evening?
• 7:46
  Is
• 7:46
  it
• 7:47
  is,
• 7:47
  you
• 7:47
  know,
• 7:47
  fishing
• 7:48
  at
• 7:48
  8:00,
• 7:49
  you
• 7:50
  know,
• 7:50
  in
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  fall
• 7:51
  the
• 7:51
  same
• 7:51
  as
• 7:51
  fishing
• 7:51
  at
• 7:52
  11
• 7:52
  o'clock
• 7:52
  in
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  summer
• 7:53
  or
• 7:54
  is
• 7:54
  it
• 7:54
  different?
• 7:56
  Good
• 7:56
  question.
• 7:59
  I'm,
• 8:00
  I'm
• 8:00
  just
• 8:01
  going
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  say
• 8:01
  it's
• 8:01
  going
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  be
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  same
• 8:05
  in
• 8:06
  that
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  will
• 8:08
  encounter
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  bite
• 8:11
  windows
• 8:11
  and
• 8:11
  on
• 8:11
  a
• 8:12
  given
• 8:12
  day
• 8:13
  with
• 8:13
  given
• 8:14
  conditions,
• 8:14
  those
• 8:15
  bite
• 8:15
  windows
• 8:15
  will
• 8:16
  be
• 8:16
  longer
• 8:17
  and
• 8:17
  shorter.
• 8:22
  I,
• 8:22
  I
• 8:23
  personally
• 8:23
  don't
• 8:25
  like
• 8:25
  when
• 8:25
  it's
• 8:25
  getting
• 8:25
  dark
• 8:26
  at
• 8:26
  7.
• 8:27
  I'm
• 8:27
  not
• 8:28
  night
• 8:28
  fishing
• 8:29
  from
• 8:30
  7
• 8:30
  to
• 8:31
  7.
• 8:32
  So
• 8:33
  I
• 8:33
  have
• 8:33
  seen
• 8:34
  bites
• 8:34
  turn
• 8:35
  on
• 8:35
  at,
• 8:36
  you
• 8:36
  know,
• 8:37
  midnight
• 8:38
  when
• 8:38
  I
• 8:39
  start
• 8:39
  fishing
• 8:39
  at
• 8:39
  8.
• 8:40
  I
• 8:41
  unfortunately
• 8:42
  don't
• 8:43
  have
• 8:44
  the
• 8:45
  12
• 8:46
  hour
• 8:46
  night
• 8:47
  shifts.
• 8:48
  I've
• 8:49
  done
• 8:49
  them.
• 8:49
  I
• 8:50
  just
• 8:50
  don't
• 8:50
  have
• 8:50
  enough.
• 8:51
  You
• 8:52
  gotta
• 8:52
  do
• 8:52
  a
• 8:52
  lot
• 8:53
  of
• 8:53
  one
• 8:53
  thing
• 8:54
  in
• 8:54
  really
• 8:55
  consistent
• 8:55
  conditions
• 8:56
  to
• 8:56
  say
• 8:58
  even
• 8:58
  here's
• 8:58
  an
• 8:58
  observation,
• 9:00
  let
• 9:00
  alone,
• 9:01
  yeah,
• 9:01
  this
• 9:01
  is
• 9:01
  a
• 9:01
  pattern.
• 9:03
  So.
• 9:04
  And
• 9:05
  you
• 9:05
  know,
• 9:05
  again,
• 9:05
  I've
• 9:05
  caught
• 9:06
  fish
• 9:06
  under
• 9:06
  a
• 9:07
  full
• 9:07
  moon
• 9:09
  and
• 9:11
  Just,
• 9:11
  just
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  giant.
• 9:12
  It
• 9:13
  may
• 9:13
  as
• 9:13
  well
• 9:13
  be
• 9:13
  the
• 9:13
  sun,
• 9:14
  it's
• 9:14
  so
• 9:14
  bright.
• 9:15
  And
• 9:15
  I've
• 9:16
  had
• 9:16
  nights
• 9:17
  with
• 9:17
  no
• 9:17
  moon.
• 9:19
  Otherwise
• 9:19
  generally
• 9:20
  pretty
• 9:20
  good
• 9:21
  conditions
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  suck.
• 9:23
  And
• 9:23
  so
• 9:24
  going
• 9:24
  out
• 9:24
  for
• 9:24
  more
• 9:24
  than
• 9:25
  three
• 9:25
  or
• 9:25
  four
• 9:25
  hours
• 9:25
  is
• 9:26
  certainly
• 9:26
  recommended
• 9:27
  because
• 9:28
  you
• 9:28
  could
• 9:28
  get
• 9:28
  like
• 9:29
  a
• 9:29
  30
• 9:29
  minute
• 9:29
  bite
• 9:30
  window,
• 9:30
  you
• 9:30
  get
• 9:30
  a
• 9:31
  15
• 9:31
  minute
• 9:31
  bite
• 9:31
  window.
• 9:32
  Night
• 9:32
  fishing,
• 9:32
  you
• 9:32
  normally
• 9:33
  see
• 9:33
  them
• 9:33
  in
• 9:34
  the,
• 9:34
  you
• 9:34
  know,
• 9:35
  hour
• 9:35
  or
• 9:35
  two
• 9:35
  bite
• 9:35
  windows.
• 9:38
  And
• 9:38
  it's
• 9:38
  not
• 9:38
  like
• 9:39
  things
• 9:39
  are
• 9:39
  going
• 9:39
  bonkers.
• 9:40
  It's
• 9:40
  just
• 9:40
  like
• 9:40
  you
• 9:40
  really
• 9:40
  see
• 9:41
  an
• 9:41
  uptick
• 9:41
  in
• 9:41
  activity
• 9:42
  and,
• 9:42
  and
• 9:43
  keeping
• 9:43
  your
• 9:43
  eye
• 9:43
  on
• 9:43
  the
• 9:44
  barometer
• 9:44
  too,
• 9:46
  not
• 9:46
  like
• 9:46
  that's
• 9:47
  going
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  change
• 9:47
  whether
• 9:47
  or
• 9:48
  not
• 9:48
  you're
• 9:48
  fishing.
• 9:48
  But
• 9:49
  if
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  are
• 9:49
  fishing
• 9:50
  and
• 9:50
  it
• 9:51
  sucks
• 9:52
  and
• 9:52
  you're
• 9:53
  looking
• 9:53
  at
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  barometer
• 9:53
  and
• 9:54
  seeing
• 9:54
  that
• 9:54
  it's
• 9:54
  kind
• 9:54
  of
• 9:54
  ticking
• 9:55
  up
• 9:55
  or
• 9:55
  it's
• 9:55
  in
• 9:55
  the,
• 9:56
  you
• 9:57
  know,
• 9:57
  upper
• 9:58
  30
• 9:58
  decimals
• 9:59
  or
• 10:00
  low
• 10:00
  31s
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  it's
• 10:01
  kind
• 10:01
  of
• 10:02
  ticking
• 10:02
  up
• 10:03
  for.
• 10:03
  It's
• 10:04
  a
• 10:04
  little
• 10:04
  windy
• 10:04
  and
• 10:05
  arid
• 10:06
  outside.
• 10:07
  Like,
• 10:08
  yeah,
• 10:08
  that,
• 10:08
  that's
• 10:09
  an
• 10:09
  off
• 10:09
  period
• 10:09
  of
• 10:09
  time
• 10:10
  when
• 10:10
  things
• 10:10
  start
• 10:10
  quieting
• 10:11
  down.
• 10:11
  Maybe
• 10:13
  humid
• 10:13
  cloud
• 10:14
  cover,
• 10:14
  the
• 10:14
  moon
• 10:15
  goes
• 10:15
  away.
• 10:15
  Like
• 10:17
  it's,
• 10:18
  it's
• 10:19
  kind
• 10:19
  of
• 10:19
  the
• 10:19
  same
• 10:19
  stuff
• 10:20
  as
• 10:20
  your,
• 10:20
  your
• 10:20
  daytime
• 10:21
  fishing,
• 10:21
  but
• 10:22
  at
• 10:23
  night
• 10:23
  those,
• 10:23
  those
• 10:23
  bite
• 10:24
  windows
• 10:24
  do
• 10:24
  exist
• 10:25
  and
• 10:27
  I
• 10:27
  would
• 10:27
  say
• 10:27
  they
• 10:27
  happen
• 10:28
  just
• 10:28
  as
• 10:28
  frequently,
• 10:30
  you
• 10:31
  know,
• 10:31
  if,
• 10:31
  if
• 10:31
  you
• 10:31
  have
• 10:31
  seven
• 10:32
  hours
• 10:32
  of

• 10:32
  or
• 10:32
  if
• 10:33
  you
• 10:33
  have
• 10:33
  12.
• 10:34
  And
• 10:35
  so

• 10:38
  redundant
