  a
• 0:35
  couple
• 0:35
  days
• 0:36
  ago,
• 0:36
  and
• 0:37
  power
• 0:37
  was
• 0:37
  out
• 0:37
  at
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  good
• 0:39
  portion
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  the
• 0:39
  town
• 0:39
  here,
• 0:40
  but
• 0:40
  looks
• 0:40
  like
• 0:40
  it's
• 0:40
  coming
• 0:41
  back
• 0:41
  online.
• 0:42
  But
• 0:42
  we
• 0:42
  do
• 0:43
  have
• 0:43
  some
• 0:43
  more
• 0:43
  rain
• 0:44
  slated
• 0:45
  this
• 0:45
  weekend.
• 0:45
  For
• 0:46
  the
• 0:46
  next
• 0:46
  four
• 0:46
  or
• 0:46
  five
• 0:46
  days,
• 0:47
  looks
• 0:47
  like
• 0:47
  we're
• 0:47
  going
• 0:47
  to
• 0:47
  get
• 0:48
  a
• 0:48
  pretty
• 0:48
  good
• 0:48
  shot
• 0:48
  of
• 0:49
  rain
• 0:49
  here.
• 0:50
  So,
• 0:51
  yeah,
• 0:51
  we'll
• 0:51
  take
• 0:51
  it
• 0:51
  when
• 0:52
  we
• 0:52
  can
• 0:52
  get
• 0:52
  it,
• 0:52
  I
• 0:52
  guess.
• 0:53
  Yeah.
• 0:53
  So
• 0:54
  what
• 0:54
  have
• 0:54
  you
• 0:54
  been
• 0:55
  seeing
• 0:55
  and
• 0:55
  what
• 0:55
  are
• 0:55
  you
• 0:55
  going
• 0:56
  to
• 0:56
  see
• 0:56
  on
• 0:56
  the
• 0:56
  water
• 0:56
  after
• 0:57
  the
• 0:57
  rain?
• 0:58
  Well,
• 0:59
  so
• 0:59
  bugs
• 1:00
  are
• 1:00
  definitely
• 1:00
  getting
• 1:00
  into
• 1:01
  full
• 1:01
  swing
• 1:01
  now.
• 1:02
  So
• 1:02
  we've
• 1:02
  got
• 1:02
  sulfur's
• 1:03
  popping
• 1:03
  up
• 1:03
  here
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  there.
• 1:04
  There's
• 1:04
  March
• 1:04
  browns,
• 1:05
  gray
• 1:05
  foxes,
• 1:06
  Quill
• 1:06
  Gordons,
• 1:07
  cancer.
• 1:09
  So
• 1:09
  we're
• 1:09
  definitely
• 1:09
  getting
• 1:10
  into
• 1:10
  peak
• 1:10
  dry
• 1:10
  fly
• 1:11
  season
• 1:11
  right
• 1:11
  now.
• 1:12
  Nymphing
• 1:13
  has
• 1:13
  been
• 1:13
  spectacular
• 1:14
  using
• 1:14
  all
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  usual
• 1:15
  suspects.
• 1:16
  Mayfly
• 1:16
  imitations,
• 1:17
  caddis
• 1:17
  pupa,
• 1:18
  things
• 1:18
  like
• 1:18
  that.
• 1:19
  So
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  fishing
• 1:20
  has
• 1:20
  been
• 1:20
  really
• 1:20
  good
• 1:20
  the
• 1:21
  past
• 1:21
  week,
• 1:21
  and
• 1:21
  it's
• 1:22
  just
• 1:22
  going
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  get
• 1:22
  better
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  next
• 1:23
  couple
• 1:23
  of
• 1:23
  weeks.
• 1:24
  The
• 1:25
  looks
• 1:25
  like
• 1:25
  we're
• 1:25
  going
• 1:25
  to
• 1:26
  get
• 1:26
  a
• 1:26
  fairly
• 1:26
  good
• 1:27
  shot.
• 1:27
  So
• 1:27
  I'm
• 1:27
  expecting
• 1:28
  a
• 1:28
  lot
• 1:28
  of
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  creeks
• 1:29
  to
• 1:29
  get
• 1:29
  up
• 1:29
  and
• 1:29
  off
• 1:29
  color.
• 1:30
  That
• 1:31
  might
• 1:31
  slow
• 1:31
  down
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  dry
• 1:32
  fly
• 1:32
  fishing
• 1:32
  a
• 1:32
  little
• 1:32
  bit.
• 1:33
  But
• 1:33
  streamer
• 1:33
  fishing
• 1:34
  might
• 1:34
  pick
• 1:34
  up
• 1:34
  with
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  off
• 1:35
  color,
• 1:35
  dirty
• 1:36
  water.
• 1:36
  So
• 1:37
  really
• 1:37
  depends
• 1:38
  on
• 1:38
  how
• 1:38
  much
• 1:38
  we
• 1:38
  get
• 1:38
  and
• 1:39
  where
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  rain
• 1:40
  hits.
• 1:40
  This
• 1:41
  week
• 1:41
  is
• 1:41
  not
• 1:41
  looking
• 1:42
  amazing.
• 1:43
  Looks
• 1:44
  like
• 1:44
  mostly
• 1:44
  showers,
• 1:45
  but
• 1:45
  there's
• 1:45
  going
• 1:45
  to
• 1:45
  be
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  couple
• 1:46
  thunderstorms
• 1:46
  that
• 1:46
  move
• 1:46
  through.
• 1:47
  So
• 1:47
  definitely
• 1:48
  keep
• 1:48
  an
• 1:48
  eye
• 1:48
  on
• 1:48
  the
• 1:49
  gauges.
• 1:49
  If
• 1:49
  you're
• 1:49
  coming
• 1:49
  up
• 1:50
  here,
• 1:50
  give
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  shop
• 1:51
  a
• 1:51
  call.
• 1:51
  Keep
• 1:52
  an
• 1:52
  eye
• 1:52
  on
• 1:52
  the
• 1:52
  weather
• 1:53
  because
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53
  next
• 1:54
  three,
• 1:54
  four
• 1:54
  days
• 1:54
  look
• 1:55
  like
• 1:55
  it's
• 1:55
  going
• 1:55
  to
• 1:55
  be
• 1:56
  damp.
• 1:57
  There
• 1:58
  you
• 1:58
  go.
• 1:58
  And
• 1:58
  what
• 1:58
  are
• 1:59
  you
• 1:59
  hearing
• 1:59
  from
• 1:59
  your
• 1:59
  smallmouth
• 2:00
  brethren?
• 2:02
  Smallies
• 2:03
  post
• 2:03
  spawn.
• 2:04
  The
• 2:04
  guys
• 2:04
  have
• 2:04
  been
• 2:05
  said
• 2:05
  that
• 2:05
  it
• 2:05
  was.
• 2:05
  I'm
• 2:06
  sorry,
• 2:06
  pre
• 2:06
  spawn
• 2:07
  guys
• 2:07
  said
• 2:07
  it's
• 2:08
  been
• 2:08
  pretty
• 2:08
  good
• 2:08
  down
• 2:08
  there.
• 2:10
  Haven't
• 2:10
  been
• 2:10
  here
• 2:10
  at
• 2:10
  all
• 2:11
  too
• 2:11
  much,
• 2:11
  but
• 2:11
  they've
• 2:11
  been
• 2:11
  catching
• 2:12
  some
• 2:12
  big
• 2:12
  fish.
• 2:12
  Earlier
• 2:13
  in
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  month
• 2:14
  of
• 2:14
  April.
• 2:15
  I
• 2:16
  think
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  fish
• 2:16
  are
• 2:16
  just
• 2:16
  spawning
• 2:17
  right
• 2:17
  about
• 2:17
  now.
• 2:18
  So
• 2:18
  that
• 2:19
  smallmouth
• 2:19
  game
• 2:19
  should
• 2:20
  really,
• 2:20
  you
• 2:20
  know,
• 2:21
  settle
• 2:21
  down
• 2:21
  a
• 2:21
  little
• 2:21
  bit
• 2:21
  and
• 2:22
  pick
• 2:22
  up
• 2:22
  again
• 2:22
  at
• 2:22
  the
• 2:23
  end
• 2:23
  of
• 2:23
  May
• 2:23
  when
• 2:24
  fisher
• 2:24
  don't
• 2:24
  spawn
• 2:24
  it.
• 2:25
  There
• 2:25
  you
• 2:26
  go.
• 2:26
  And
• 2:26
  of
• 2:26
  course,
• 2:26
  I
• 2:26
  know
• 2:27
