  I
• 2:36
  think
• 2:36
  the
• 2:36
  first
• 2:37
  day

  when

• 3:19
  west
• 3:19
  on
• 3:20
  I40.
• 3:20
  So
• 3:21
  there's
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  lot
• 3:21
  of
• 3:21
  highways
• 3:22
  that
• 3:22
  are
• 3:22
  open.
• 3:22
  There's
• 3:23
  only
• 3:23
  like
• 3:23
  a
• 3:23
  few
• 3:23
  that
• 3:24
  are
• 3:24
  closed,
• 3:25
  but
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  majority
• 3:26
  are
• 3:26
  open.
• 3:26
  So.
• 3:27
  So
• 3:28
  I
• 3:28
  think
• 3:28
  that
• 3:28
  that's
• 3:29
  really
• 3:29
  what's
• 3:29
  affected
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  number
• 3:31
  of
• 3:31
  people.
• 3:32
  But,
• 3:32
  you
• 3:32
  know,
• 3:33
  once
• 3:33
  they
• 3:33
  realize
• 3:34
  those
• 3:34
  things
• 3:34
  open,
• 3:35
  that's.
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  think
• 3:35
  that
• 3:35
  was
• 3:35
  a
• 3:36
  lot
• 3:36
  of
• 3:36
  work
• 3:36
  for
• 3:36
  the,
• 3:37
  for
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  state
• 3:38
  with
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  hatchery
• 3:39
  program
• 3:40
  too,
• 3:40
  because
• 3:40
  there's
• 3:40
  a
• 3:40
  lot
• 3:40
  of
• 3:41
  counties
• 3:41
  that
• 3:41
  couldn't
• 3:41
  get,
• 3:42
  you
• 3:43
  know,
• 3:43
  that
• 3:43
  had
• 3:43
  DH
• 3:44
  programs
• 3:44
  that
• 3:44
  they
• 3:44
  can't
• 3:45
  get
• 3:45
  fish
• 3:45
  into.
• 3:45
  So
• 3:46
  what
• 3:46
  they
• 3:47
  did,
• 3:47
  just
• 3:47
  so
• 3:47
  the
• 3:48
  folks
• 3:48
  know
• 3:48
  what
• 3:48
  they
• 3:48
  did
• 3:49
  is
• 3:49
  they
• 3:49
  took
• 3:49
  those
• 3:49
  fish
• 3:50
  that
• 3:50
  would
• 3:50
  have
• 3:50
  gone
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  other
• 3:51
  BHs
• 3:51
  that
• 3:51
  they're
• 3:51
  supposedly
• 3:52
  supposed
• 3:52
  to
• 3:52
  go
• 3:53
  to,
• 3:53
  and
• 3:54
  they
• 3:54
  put
• 3:54
  them
• 3:54
  in
• 3:54
  these
• 3:54
  other
• 3:55
  programs
• 3:56
  that
• 3:56
  are
• 3:56
  like
• 3:56
  Jackson
• 3:57
  County,
• 3:57
  Macon
• 3:58
  county,
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  Swain
• 3:58
  County.
• 3:59
  So.
• 3:59
  And
• 4:00
  then
• 4:00
  of
• 4:00
  course,
• 4:01
  a
• 4:01
  lot
• 4:01
  more
• 4:01
  counties
• 4:02
  up
• 4:02
  in
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  Northeast.
• 4:02
  Cause
• 4:03
  I
• 4:03
  think
• 4:03
  there's
• 4:03
  what,
• 4:03
  37
• 4:04
  of
• 4:04
  these
• 4:05
  programs
• 4:05
  now,
• 4:06
  back
• 4:06
  in
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  old
• 4:07
  days,
• 4:07
  it
• 4:07
  was
• 4:07
  just
• 4:07
  a
• 4:08
  couple.
• 4:08
  And
• 4:09
  it
• 4:09
  keeps
• 4:09
  expanding.
• 4:10
  But
• 4:11
  what
• 4:11
  they
• 4:11
  did
• 4:11
  is
• 4:11
  they
• 4:12
  doubled
• 4:12
  up
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  numbers
• 4:13
  on
• 4:13
  the,
• 4:13
  on
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  ones
• 4:13
  they
• 4:14
  could
• 4:14
  get
• 4:14
  to.
• 4:15
  Yeah.
• 4:16
  And
• 4:16
  what
• 4:16
  I'll
• 4:16
  do
• 4:16
  is
• 4:16
  I'll
• 4:17
  drop
• 4:17
  a
• 4:17
  link
• 4:17
  in
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  show
• 4:18
  notes
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  the
• 4:19
  stocking
• 4:19
  page
• 4:20
  from
• 4:20
  North
• 4:21
  Carolina
• 4:21
  Wildlife
• 4:22
  and
• 4:22
  that'll
• 4:22
  tell
• 4:22
  people
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  stocking
• 4:24
  schedules.
• 4:24
  And
• 4:24
  I'll
• 4:24
  also
• 4:25
  drop
• 4:26
  a
• 4:26
  link
• 4:26
  to
• 4:27
  the
• 4:28
  best
• 4:28
  kind
• 4:28
  of
• 4:28
  road
• 4:29
  condition
• 4:29
  website
• 4:29
  because
• 4:30
  things
• 4:30
  are
• 4:30
  way,
• 4:31
  way,
• 4:31
  way
• 4:31
  Better
• 4:31
  than
• 4:32
  they
• 4:32
  were
• 4:32
  six
• 4:33
  weeks
• 4:33
  ago.
• 4:33
  Right.
• 4:34
  And,
• 4:35
  you
• 4:35
  know,
• 4:36
  we
• 4:36
  can
• 4:36
  drop
• 4:36
  that
• 4:36
  stuff
• 4:37
  in
• 4:37
  there
• 4:37
  for
• 4:37
  folks.
• 4:37
  And
• 4:37
  then,
• 4:37
  you
• 4:38
  know,
• 4:38
  you
• 4:38
  and
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  were
• 4:38
  talking
• 4:38
  before
• 4:39
  we
• 4:39
  started
• 4:39
  recording,
• 4:40
  you
• 4:41
  know,
• 4:41
  get
• 4:41
  out
• 4:41
  in
• 4:42

  spend
• 4:43
  some
• 4:43
  money,
• 4:43
  go
• 4:43
  fishing,
• 4:44
  but
• 4:44
  also
• 4:44
  remember
• 4:45
  that,
• 4:45
  you
• 4:46
  know,
• 4:46
  with
• 4:46
  that
• 4:46
  much
• 4:46
  water,
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  know,
• 4:48
  be.
• 4:48
  Be
• 4:49
  smart
• 4:49
  about
• 4:49
  how
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  river
• 4:50
  may
• 4:50
  not
• 4:50
  be
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  way
• 4:51
  that
• 4:51
  it
• 4:51
  was
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  last
• 4:52
  time
• 4:52
  you
• 4:52
  got
• 4:52
  in
• 4:52
  it.
• 4:52
  And
• 4:53
  also
• 4:53
  be
• 4:53
  on
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  lookout
• 4:53
  for
• 4:54
  debris
• 4:54
  because,
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  mean,
• 4:54
  there
• 4:55
  can
• 4:55
  be,
• 4:55
  you
• 4:56
  know,
• 4:56
  not
• 4:56
  just
• 4:56
  trees,
• 4:57
  but,
• 4:57
  like,
• 4:57
  sharp
• 4:57
  metal
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  all
• 4:58
  kinds
• 4:58
  of
• 4:58
  stuff.
• 4:58
  And,
• 4:59
  you
• 4:59
  know,
• 4:59
  just
• 4:59
  be.
• 5:00
  Be
• 5:00
  smart.
• 5:00
  Right?
• 5:02
  Yeah,
• 5:03
  yeah.
• 5:03
  Just,
• 5:04
  you
• 5:04
  know,
• 5:04
  look
• 5:04
  around
• 5:05
  if
• 5:05
  you.
• 5:05
  I
• 5:05
  mean,
• 5:06
  here,
• 5:07
  not
• 5:07
  so
• 5:07
  much,
• 5:07
  but.
• 5:08
  Yeah,
• 5:08
  further
• 5:08
  up
• 5:08
  north.
• 5:09
  Yeah,
• 5:09
  definitely.
• 5:10
  We
• 5:10
  didn't.
• 5:10
  We
• 5:10
  didn't
• 5:11
  really
• 5:11
  get
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  water.
• 5:12
  You
• 5:12
  know,
• 5:12
  the
• 5:13
  floods,
• 5:13
  like
• 5:13
  what
• 5:13
  you
• 5:14
  see
• 5:15
  on
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  news.
• 5:15
  So
• 5:15
  here
• 5:16
  it
• 5:16
  was
• 5:16
  just
• 5:16
  like
• 5:16
  any
• 5:16
  other
• 5:17
  20
• 5:17
  rains
• 5:17
  we
• 5:18
  get
• 5:18
  in
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  year.
• 5:18
  You
• 5:18
  know,
• 5:20
  we
• 5:20
  didn't
• 5:21
  really
• 5:21
  get
• 5:21
  flooded
• 5:21
  here,
• 5:22
  so.
• 5:22
  So
• 5:22
  north
• 5:22
  of
• 5:22
  here,
• 5:23
  absolutely
• 5:24
  got
• 5:24
  tons
• 5:24
  of
• 5:25
  water,
• 5:25
  you
• 5:26
  know,
• 5:26
  like
• 5:26
  from
• 5:27
  the.
• 5:27
  No,
• 5:27
  Truckee
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  Mount
• 5:28
  Mitchell.
• 5:28
  So.
• 5:29
  But,
• 5:29
  yeah,
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  think
• 5:30
  that's
• 5:30
  really
• 5:30
  good
• 5:30
  advice
• 5:31
  because
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  lot
• 5:31
  of
• 5:31
  people
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  are
• 5:32
  up
• 5:32
  near
• 5:32
  Boone,
• 5:34
  Spruce
• 5:35
  Pine,
• 5:35
  Burnsville
• 5:36
  area,
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  Green
• 5:37
  River,
• 5:38
  a
• 5:38
  lot
• 5:38
  of
• 5:38
  that
• 5:38
  got
• 5:38
  changed
• 5:39
  dramatically.
• 5:40
  So,
• 5:40
  yeah,
• 5:40
  be
• 5:40
  on
• 5:40
  the
• 5:41
  lookout
• 5:41
  for
• 5:41
  that.
• 5:42
  It
• 5:42
  really
• 5:42
  depends
• 5:43
  where
• 5:43
  you
• 5:43
  go.
• 5:43
  And,
• 5:44
  I
• 5:44
  mean,
• 5:44
  I
• 5:44
  guess
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  only
• 5:45
  way
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  know
• 5:45
  that
• 5:45
  is
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  people
• 5:46
  that
• 5:46
  live
• 5:46
  here
• 5:46
  know
• 5:46
  where.
• 5:47
  Where
• 5:47
  it
• 5:47
  was
• 5:47
  hit
• 5:47
  hard
• 5:47
  and
• 5:48
  where
• 5:48
  it
• 5:48
  wasn't.
• 5:48
  So
• 5:49
  that's
• 5:49
  hard.
• 5:50
  That's
• 5:50
  hard
• 5:50
  to
• 5:50
  describe,
• 5:51
  though,
• 5:51
  in
• 5:51
  a
• 5:51
  few
• 5:51
  minutes
• 5:51
  on
• 5:52
  the,
• 5:52
  you
• 5:53
  know,
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  mean,
• 5:53
  on
• 5:53
  a
• 5:53
  podcast
• 5:54
  to
• 5:54
  say
• 5:54
  where
• 5:54
  it
• 5:54
  was
• 5:55
  hit
• 5:55
  hard
• 5:55
  and
• 5:55
  where
• 5:55
  it
• 5:55
  wasn't.
• 5:56
  But
• 5:56
  basically,
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  eye
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  storm
• 5:58
  came
• 5:58
  over
• 5:58
  Bryson.
• 5:59
  So
• 6:00
  obviously,
• 6:00
  when
• 6:00
  the
• 6:01
  eye
• 6:01
  of
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  storm
• 6:01
  comes
• 6:01
  over
• 6:02
  something,
• 6:02
  it's
• 6:02
  not
• 6:02
  hit
• 6:03
  as
• 6:03
  hard,
• 6:03
  and
• 6:03
  the
• 6:04
  outlying
• 6:05
  bands
• 6:05
  is
• 6:05
  where
• 6:05
  it
• 6:05
  was
• 6:06
  hit
• 6:06
  much
• 6:06
  harder.
• 6:06
  So
• 6:07
  that's
• 6:07
  about
• 6:08
  40
• 6:08
  miles,
• 6:09
  40
• 6:09
  to
• 6:10
  60
• 6:10
  miles
• 6:11
  away
• 6:11
  is
• 6:11
  where
• 6:11
  it
• 6:11
  was
• 6:11
  hit
• 6:11
  much
• 6:12
  harder
• 6:13
  with
• 6:13
  the
• 6:14
  eye
• 6:14
  passing
• 6:14
  here.
• 6:15
  Yeah.
• 6:15
  And
• 6:15
  so
• 6:16
  what
• 6:16
  I
• 6:16
  would
• 6:16
  tell
• 6:16
  people
• 6:16
  to
• 6:17
  do,
• 6:17
  too,
• 6:17
  like,
• 6:17
  if
• 6:17
  they're
• 6:18
  really
• 6:18
  concerned
• 6:18
  about
• 6:19
  it,
• 6:19
  is,
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  know,
• 6:19
  every
• 6:20
  one
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  these
• 6:20
  areas
• 6:21
  have
• 6:21
  local
• 6:21
  chambers
• 6:22
  of
• 6:22
  commerce
• 6:22
  and
• 6:22
  tourism,
• 6:23
  and
• 6:24
  they're
• 6:24
  going
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  tell
• 6:24
  you,
• 6:24
  you
• 6:24
  know,
• 6:25
  what
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  deal
• 6:25
  is,
• 6:26
  right.
• 6:26
  So
• 6:26
  whether
• 6:26
  it's
• 6:26
  Johnson
• 6:27
  City
• 6:27
  or
• 6:27
  Northeast
• 6:28
  Tennessee,
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  know,

  I

  we

• 6:49
  And
• 6:50
  you
• 6:50
  know,
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  biggest
• 6:50
  thing
• 6:51
  you
• 6:51
  can
• 6:51
  do
• 6:51
  is
• 6:51
  to
• 6:52

• 6:53
  that
• 6:53

  a
• 7:04
  big
• 7:04
  help
• 7:04
  for
• 7:04
  sure.
• 7:05
  And
• 7:05
  I
• 7:05
  think
• 7:05
  that'll
• 7:06
  help
• 7:06
  a
• 7:06
  lot
• 7:06
  of
• 7:06
  these,
• 7:07
  A
• 7:07
  lot
• 7:07
  of
• 7:08
  these
• 7:08
  friends
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  mine
• 7:08
  that
• 7:08
  are
• 7:08
  up
• 7:09
  in
• 7:09
  Bonesville
• 7:10
  and
• 7:10
  Boone
• 7:10
  and
• 7:11
  all
• 7:12
  these
• 7:12
  other
• 7:12
  outlying
• 7:13
  areas
• 7:13
  that
• 7:13
  got
• 7:14
  really
• 7:14
  devastated.
• 7:15
  And
• 7:15
  it's
• 7:15
  like.
• 7:16
  And
• 7:16
  don't
• 7:16
  bail
• 7:16
  on
• 7:16
  them.
• 7:17
  You
• 7:17
  know,
• 7:17
  if
• 7:17
  you
• 7:17
  got
• 7:17
  a
• 7:17
  trip,
• 7:18
  just
• 7:18
  go
• 7:18
  ahead
• 7:18
  and
• 7:18
  put
• 7:18
  it,
• 7:19
  put
• 7:19
  it
• 7:19
  to,
• 7:20
  put
• 7:20
  it
• 7:20
  to
• 7:21
  25
• 7:21
  or
• 7:21
  something.
• 7:22
  Don't
• 7:22
  call
• 7:22
  an
• 7:22
  asset
• 7:23
  for
• 7:23
  a
• 7:23
  refund
• 7:23
  because
• 7:24
  they
• 7:24
  got
• 7:24
  devastated.
• 7:25
  I
• 7:25
  mean,
• 7:25
  that's
• 7:25
  really
• 7:26
  beyond
• 7:26
  their
• 7:26
  control.
• 7:26
  And
• 7:27
  it's,
• 7:28
  it
• 7:28
  makes
• 7:28
  it
• 7:28
  tough
• 7:28
  on
• 7:29
  those
• 7:29
  people.
• 7:29
  When
• 7:29
  you
• 7:29
  ask
• 7:30
  for
• 7:30
  everything
• 7:30
  packed
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  everybody
• 7:31
  wants
• 7:32
  it
• 7:32
  back,
• 7:32
  you
• 7:32
  know,
• 7:33
  they've
• 7:34
  already
• 7:34
  been
• 7:34
  buried.
• 7:35
  It's
• 7:35
  kind
• 7:36
  of
• 7:36
  like
• 7:36
  with
• 7:36
  the,
• 7:37
  with
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  flood,
• 7:38
  you
• 7:39
  know,
• 7:39
  it's
• 7:39
  tough
• 7:40
  on

• 7:40
  lot
• 7:40
  of
• 7:40
  those
• 7:40
  people.

  lot
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  people
• 7:41
  lost
• 7:41
  everything.
• 7:42
  And
• 7:42
  that's
• 7:42
  what
• 7:42
  I
• 7:42
  think
• 7:43
  a
• 7:43
  lot
• 7:43
  of
• 7:43
  people
• 7:43
  don't
• 7:43
  realize
• 7:44
  when
• 7:45
  you
• 7:45
  lose
• 7:46
  everything,
• 7:46
  it's
• 7:46
  tough.
• 7:47
  Yeah,
• 7:48
  absolutely.
• 7:48
  You
• 7:48
  know,
• 7:49
  it's
• 7:49
  kind
• 7:49
  of
• 7:49
  amazing.

• 7:52
  Thanksgiving
• 7:53

• 7:53

• 7:54
  so
• 7:54
  next
• 7:54
  thing
• 7:55
  you

  know
• 7:55

• 7:55
  going

• 8:18
  Paul,
• 8:19
  Minnesota.
• 8:19
  And
• 8:19
  I

  the
• 8:20
  last

  show
• 8:21
  that
• 8:22

  I
• 8:24
  have
• 8:24
  schools
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  too
• 8:25
  many
• 8:25
  commitments
• 8:25
  here.
• 8:26
  But,
• 8:26
  but
• 8:26
  yeah,
• 8:26
  we'll
• 8:27
  be
• 8:27
  busy
• 8:27
  from
• 8:28
  start

• 8:33
  much
• 8:33
  shows,
• 8:34
  shows
• 8:35
  going
• 8:35

• 8:35
  So
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  can
• 8:36
  go
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36

  post

  my
• 8:45

  well
• 8:47
  under

  the

  going
• 8:54
  on
• 8:54
  on
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  road.
• 8:54
  That's
• 8:55
  why
• 8:55
  we
• 8:55
  do
• 8:55
  those
• 8:55
  on
• 8:55
  the
• 8:56
  road,
• 8:56
  you
• 8:56
  know,
• 8:57
  is.
• 8:58
  Is
• 8:58
  It's
• 8:58
  a
• 8:59
  lot
• 8:59
  of
• 8:59
  fun
• 8:59
  to
• 8:59
  meet
• 8:59
  people.
• 9:00
  And
• 9:00
  that
• 9:00
  way
• 9:00
  it
• 9:00
  gets
• 9:01
  more
• 9:01
  regional
• 9:01
  to
• 9:02
  take
• 9:02
  it
• 9:02
  to
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  Northwest,
• 9:03
  take

  it
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  the
• 9:03
  west
• 9:04
  coast
• 9:05
  and
• 9:05
  all
• 9:05
  over
• 9:05
  the
• 9:06
  country.
• 9:06
  What's
• 9:06
  going
• 9:06
  on?
• 9:07
  Yeah.
• 9:08
  And
• 9:08
  you
• 9:08
  can
• 9:08
  sign
• 9:08
  up.
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  know
• 9:09
  Ben,
• 9:09
  for
• 9:09
  probably
• 9:10
  at
• 9:10
  least
• 9:10
  a
• 9:10
  month
• 9:10
  now,
• 9:11
  has
• 9:11
  had
• 9:11
  all
• 9:11
  of
• 9:11
  those
• 9:11
  specialty
• 9:12
  classes
• 9:12
  that
• 9:12
  the
• 9:13
  fly
• 9:13
  fishing
• 9:13
  shows
• 9:13
  up.
• 9:14
  And
• 9:15
  I
• 9:15
  would
• 9:15
  just
• 9:15
  say
• 9:15
  as
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  holidays
• 9:16
  approach,
• 9:16
  it's
• 9:17
  a
• 9:17
  great
• 9:17
  gift
• 9:17
  for
• 9:17
  that
• 9:18
  fly
• 9:18
  fisherman
• 9:18
  that
• 9:18
  has
• 9:19
  everything
• 9:19
  in
• 9:19
  your
• 9:19
  life
• 9:19
  if
• 9:20
  you're
• 9:20
  near
• 9:20
  one
• 9:20
  of
• 9:20
  those
• 9:20
  shows.
• 9:21
  Right,
• 9:21
  Mac?
• 9:22
  Oh,
• 9:23
  yes.
• 9:23
  Yeah,
• 9:23
  I
• 9:24
  think
• 9:24
  that'd
• 9:24
  be
• 9:24
  great.
• 9:24
  And
• 9:26
  I
• 9:26
  promise
• 9:26
  you
• 9:26
  they'll
• 9:27
  learn
• 9:27
  something.
• 9:27
  I'm
• 9:28
  not
• 9:28
  saying
• 9:28
  that
• 9:28
  being
• 9:30
  they'll
• 9:30
  learn
• 9:31
  plenty,
• 9:31
  it's
• 9:32
  probably
• 9:32
  a
• 9:32
  better
• 9:32
  investment
• 9:33
  than
• 9:33
  buying
• 9:33
  another
• 9:35
  rod
• 9:35
  or
• 9:35
  reel
• 9:36
  or
• 9:36
  line
• 9:36
  or
• 9:36
  whatever
• 9:36
  it
• 9:36
  is
• 9:37
  they're
• 9:37
  looking
• 9:37
  at.
• 9:39
  Paying
• 9:39
  for.
• 9:39
  The
• 9:39
  education,
• 9:40
  I
• 9:40
  think
• 9:40
  is
• 9:40
  probably
• 9:41
  the
• 9:41
  quickest
• 9:41
  way,
• 9:43
  lowest
• 9:44
  common
• 9:44
  denominator
• 9:45
  or
• 9:45
  the
