• 0:21
  need

  to
• 0:22
  do
• 0:22
  a
• 0:22
  rain
• 0:22
  dance

  in
• 0:22

  woods.
• 0:24
  Oh,
• 0:24
  yeah,
• 0:25
  man.
• 0:25
  I
• 0:25
  think,
• 0:27
  much
• 0:27
  as
• 0:27
  I
• 0:27
  hate
• 0:28
  to
• 0:28
  say,
• 0:28
  you
• 0:28
  know,
• 0:28
  my
• 0:29
  pre
• 0:29
  spawn
• 0:29
  smallmouth
• 0:30
  season,
• 0:30
  I'll
• 0:30
  pretty
• 0:31
  much
• 0:31
  end
• 0:31
  here
• 0:32
  like
• 0:32
  the
• 0:33
  14th
• 0:34
  of
• 0:34
  April.
• 0:39
  I
• 0:39
  don't
• 0:39
  think
• 0:39
  we
• 0:40
  have
• 0:40
  much
• 0:40
  hope
• 0:40
  for
• 0:41
  more.
• 0:41
  More
• 0:42
  water
• 0:42
  in
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  next
• 0:43
  couple
• 0:43
  of
• 0:43
  weeks.

  looking
• 0:44
  at
• 0:44
  the
• 0:44
  extended
• 0:45
  forecast.
• 0:47
  So
• 0:48
  rain
• 0:48
  would
• 0:49
  be
• 0:49
  nice
• 0:49
  just
• 0:49
  for
• 0:50
  the
• 0:50
  remainder
• 0:51
  of
• 0:51
  the
• 0:51
  year,
• 0:52
  but
• 0:52
  I
• 0:52
  don't.
• 0:53
  I
• 0:53
  don't
• 0:53
  see
• 0:53
  it
• 0:53
  happening
• 0:54
  here
• 0:55
  in
• 0:55
  the
• 0:55
  immediate
• 0:56
  future.

  Instagram
• 0:59
  when
• 0:59
  I

  was
• 1:00
  soliciting

  questions,
• 1:01
  and,
• 1:01
  you
• 1:01

  bite.
• 1:04
  You

  know,
• 1:04
  how's
• 1:04
  it
• 1:04
  been?
• 1:06
  Uh,
• 1:06
  it's
• 1:06
  been,
• 1:07
  I
• 1:07
  mean,
• 1:07
  typical
• 1:08
  up
• 1:08
  and
• 1:09
  down.
• 1:11
  Recently
• 1:12
  we've
• 1:13
  really
• 1:13
  settled
• 1:13
  into
• 1:14
  that
• 1:14
  low
• 1:14
  water
• 1:16
  pattern.
• 1:17
  And,
• 1:17
  you
• 1:17
  know,
• 1:17
  when
• 1:18
  I
• 1:18
  say
• 1:18
  low
• 1:18
  water,
• 1:18
  I
• 1:19
  mean
• 1:19
  like,
• 1:20
  like
• 1:20
  a
• 1:20
  fifth
• 1:20
  of
• 1:21
  the
• 1:21
  seasonal
• 1:21
  average,
• 1:22
  maybe
• 1:22
  a
• 1:23
  quarter.
• 1:25
  It's.
• 1:26
  It
• 1:26
  is
• 1:26
  very
• 1:26
  low
• 1:27
  out
• 1:27
  there
• 1:28
  pretty
• 1:28
  much
• 1:28
  everywhere.
• 1:31
  That
• 1:31
  in
• 1:32
  places
• 1:32
  is
• 1:32
  causing.
• 1:33
  We've
• 1:33
  had
• 1:33
  some
• 1:33
  very
• 1:34
  warm
• 1:34
  weather
• 1:35
  too.
• 1:35
  You
• 1:35
  know,
• 1:35
  string
• 1:36
  of
• 1:36
  days
• 1:36
  here
• 1:36
  in
• 1:36
  the
• 1:37
  upper
• 1:37
  70s,
• 1:37
  close
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  80,
• 1:39
  so
• 1:40
  water
• 1:40
  temps
• 1:40
  are
• 1:41
  sliding
• 1:41
  really
• 1:41
  quick.
• 1:42
  And
• 1:43
  that
• 1:43
  can.
• 1:43
  That
• 1:44
  can
• 1:44
  kind
• 1:44
  of
• 1:44
  make
• 1:44
  things
• 1:45
  funky
• 1:45
  at
• 1:46
  times.
• 1:46
  If.
• 1:46
  If
• 1:47
  your
• 1:47
  water
• 1:47
  temps
• 1:47
  get
• 1:48
  in
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  upper
• 1:49
  50s
• 1:50
  is
• 1:50
  certainly
• 1:51
  60
• 1:51
  plus,
• 1:52
  you
• 1:52
  know,
• 1:52
  well
• 1:52
  ahead
• 1:53
  of

  the
• 1:54
  photo
• 1:54
  period
• 1:55
  that.
• 1:55
  That
• 1:56
  drives
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  spawn.
• 1:59
  So
• 2:00

• 2:00
  all
• 2:00
  that
• 2:00
  said,
• 2:01
  you
• 2:01
  know,
• 2:01
  last
• 2:01
  couple
• 2:01
  days
• 2:02
  on
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  river
• 2:02
  have
• 2:02
  been
• 2:02
  pretty
• 2:03
  good.
• 2:05
  And
• 2:06
  we've
• 2:07
  just.
• 2:07
  We've
• 2:07
  just
• 2:07
  been
• 2:07
  having
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  adapt
• 2:09
  to
• 2:09
  those
• 2:10
  conditions
• 2:10
  and
• 2:12
  really
• 2:12
  make
• 2:12
  sure
• 2:13
  we're
• 2:13
  fishing
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  right
• 2:14
  water
• 2:14
  type.
• 2:15
  And.
• 2:16
  And
• 2:16
  I
• 2:17
  mean,
• 2:17
  like
• 2:17
  I
• 2:17
  said,
• 2:17
  we're
• 2:18
  kind
• 2:18
  of
• 2:18
  sneaking
• 2:18
  around
• 2:19
  like.
• 2:19
  Like
• 2:19
  summer.
• 2:21
  Yeah,
• 2:21
  it's
• 2:21
  interesting.
• 2:22
  So,
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  mean,
• 2:22
  are
• 2:22
  you.
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  would
• 2:23
  imagine
• 2:23
  you're
• 2:23
  lengthening
• 2:24
  leaders.
• 2:24
  Are
• 2:24
  you
• 2:25
  trying
• 2:25
  to
• 2:25
  go
• 2:25
  for,
• 2:25
  like,
• 2:26
  more
• 2:26
  delicate
• 2:27
  flies
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  kind
• 2:27
  of
• 2:28
  get
• 2:28
  rid
• 2:28
  of
• 2:28
  that
• 2:28
  plop?
• 2:31
  You
• 2:31
  know,
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  haven't.
• 2:33
  I.
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  have
• 2:33
  been
• 2:34
  fishing
• 2:34
  more
• 2:34
  delicate
• 2:35
  flies
• 2:35
  just
• 2:35
  as
• 2:36
  a
• 2:36
  byproduct.
• 2:36
  It's
• 2:37
  nothing
• 2:37
  I
• 2:37
  did
• 2:38
  intentionally.
• 2:40
  Um,
• 2:40
  I
• 2:41
  don't
• 2:41
  know.
• 2:43
  I
• 2:43
  don't
• 2:43
  know
• 2:44
  if
• 2:44
  that's
• 2:44
  necessarily
• 2:45
  going
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  make
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  huge
• 2:46
  difference.
• 2:48
  I.
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  have
• 2:49
  lengthened
• 2:49
  leaders
• 2:50
  a
• 2:50
  little
• 2:50
  bit.
• 2:51
  I'm
• 2:51
  mostly
• 2:51
  fishing
• 2:52
  intermediate
• 2:52
  lines
• 2:53
  and
• 2:54
  Here
• 2:55
  recently
• 2:56
  I've
• 2:57
  dropped
• 2:57
  down
• 2:57
  to
• 2:57
  a
• 2:57
  seven
• 2:58
  weight
• 2:58
  and
• 2:58
  have
• 2:58
  been
• 2:59
  fishing
• 2:59
  clear
• 2:59
  tip
• 3:00
  intermediate
• 3:01
  seven
• 3:01
  weight
• 3:02
  lines
• 3:03
  with
• 3:03
  a,
• 3:04
  you
• 3:04
  know,
• 3:05
  my
• 3:05
  standard
• 3:05
  like
• 3:07
  six
• 3:07
  and
• 3:08
  a
• 3:08
  half
• 3:08
  foot
• 3:09
  intermediate
• 3:09
  leader.
• 3:12
  I
• 3:12
  did,
• 3:12
  I
• 3:13
  did
• 3:13
  lengthen
• 3:13
  my,
• 3:14
  my
• 3:14
  tippet
• 3:14
  section
• 3:15
  a
• 3:15
  little
• 3:15
  bit
• 3:15
  so
• 3:16
  it
• 3:16
  might
• 3:16
  be
• 3:16
  closer
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  seven
• 3:17
  feet.
• 3:17
  But
• 3:18
  you
• 3:18
  know,
• 3:19
  streamer
• 3:19
  fishing
• 3:19
  with
• 3:19
  a
• 3:20
  clear
• 3:20
  tip
• 3:20
  line
• 3:20
  and
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  seven
• 3:21
  foot
• 3:22
  leader,
• 3:22
  it's,
• 3:22
  it's,
• 3:23
  I
• 3:23
  think
• 3:23
  that's,
• 3:24
  that's
• 3:24
  plenty.
• 3:25
  At
• 3:25
  least
• 3:25
  it's
• 3:25
  been,
• 3:25
  been
• 3:26
  working
• 3:26
  for
• 3:26
  us.
• 3:28
  And
• 3:29
  yeah,
• 3:29
  you
• 3:29
  know,
• 3:29
  just
• 3:30
  same,
• 3:31
  same
• 3:31
  as
• 3:31
  I
• 3:31
  would
• 3:31
  do
• 3:32
  on
• 3:32
  the,
• 3:33
  from
• 3:33
  the
• 3:34
  conventional
• 3:35
  side
• 3:35
  just
• 3:36
  as
• 3:36
  things
• 3:36
  get
• 3:37
  lower
• 3:37
  and
• 3:37
  clearer,
• 3:37
  just
• 3:38
  you
• 3:38
  know,
• 3:39
  downsizing
• 3:40
  which
• 3:40
  I
• 3:41
  really
• 3:41
  hate
• 3:41
  to
• 3:42
  do
• 3:42
  this
• 3:42
  time
• 3:42
  of
• 3:42
  year
• 3:43
  but
• 3:43
  we
• 3:44
  are
• 3:44
  firmly
• 3:45
  in
• 3:45
  the
• 3:46
  it's
• 3:46
  necessary
• 3:50
  place.
• 3:51
  But
• 3:51
  just,
• 3:51
  just
• 3:51
  going
• 3:52
  a
• 3:52
  little
• 3:52
  bit
• 3:52
  smaller,
• 3:53
  a
• 3:53
  little
• 3:53
  bit
• 3:53
  slimmer,
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  little
• 3:54
  more
• 3:55
  natural
• 3:55
  colors
• 3:56
  and
• 3:58
  you
• 3:58
  know,
• 3:58
  especially
• 3:58
  on
• 3:59
  these
• 3:59
  sunny
• 3:59
  days,
• 4:00
  early
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  late
• 4:02
  tend
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  be,
• 4:02
  tend
• 4:03
  to
• 4:03
  be
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  ticket
• 4:04
  too.
• 4:04
  So
• 4:06
  yeah,
• 4:07
  not,
• 4:07
  not
• 4:08
  unlike
• 4:08
  streamer
• 4:09

  is
• 4:27
  like
• 4:27

• 4:36
  that,
• 4:36
  that
• 4:37
  kind
• 4:37
  of
• 4:37
  thing
• 4:39
  you
• 4:39
  could,
• 4:39
  you
• 4:39
  could
• 4:39
  definitely
• 4:40
  get
• 4:40
  away
• 4:40
  with
• 4:40
  any,
• 4:41
  any
• 4:41
  number
• 4:41
  of
• 4:42
  game
• 4:42
  changers
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  are
• 4:43
  in
• 4:43
  that
• 4:43
  smaller
• 4:44
  size.
• 4:44
  And
• 4:46
  you
• 4:47
  know
• 4:47
  I
• 4:47
  have
• 4:47
  at
• 4:47
  times
• 4:48
  played
• 4:48
  around
• 4:48
  with,
• 4:49
  with
• 4:49
  going
• 4:50
  a
• 4:50
  little
• 4:50
  bit
• 4:50
  bigger
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  certain
• 4:52
  places
• 4:52
  to
• 4:53
  see
• 4:53
  if
• 4:53
  it,
• 4:53
  if
• 4:53
  it
• 4:53
  makes
• 4:54
  a
• 4:54
  difference.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:55
  um,
• 4:56
  like
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  said
• 4:57
  at
• 4:57
  this
• 4:57
  point
• 4:57
  I
• 4:58
  think
• 4:58
  it
• 4:58
  does
• 4:58
  more
• 4:58
  harm
• 4:59
  than
• 4:59
  good.
• 4:59
  And
• 5:00
  you
• 5:01
  know,
• 5:01
  having
• 5:01
  been
• 5:01
  on
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  water
• 5:02
  every
• 5:02
  day
• 5:02
  too,
• 5:03
  you
• 5:03
  know,
• 5:03
  I,
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  have
• 5:04
  seen
• 5:04
  it
• 5:05
  very
• 5:06
  linearly
• 5:06
  transition
• 5:07
  from
• 5:08
  you
• 5:09
  know,
• 5:09
  fish,
• 5:10
  fish
• 5:11
  smoking,
• 5:12
  67
• 5:12
  inch
• 5:13
  big
• 5:13
  profile
• 5:14
  flies
• 5:15
  and
• 5:15
  chartreuse
• 5:16
  and
• 5:16
  orange
• 5:17
  and
• 5:18
  to
• 5:20
  really
• 5:20
  needing
• 5:21
  that,
• 5:21
  that
• 5:22
  smaller,
• 5:23
  more
• 5:23
  subtle
• 5:24
  presentation.
• 5:24
  So
• 5:25
  I'm
• 5:26
  pretty
• 5:26
  confident
• 5:26
  in
• 5:26
  that.
• 5:27
  I
• 5:27
  mean
• 5:27
  I've
• 5:27
  fished
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  last,
• 5:28
  after
• 5:29
  Monday
• 5:29
  we
• 5:29
  kind
• 5:30
  of,
• 5:30
  kind
• 5:31
  of
• 5:31
  cracked
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  code
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  then,
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  then
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  last
• 5:33
  two
• 5:33
  days
• 5:33
  I
• 5:34
  really
• 5:34
  haven't
• 5:34
  changed
• 5:35
  change
• 5:35
  flies
• 5:36
  much
• 5:36
  and
• 5:37
  it's,
• 5:37
  it's
• 5:37
  been
• 5:37
  working.
• 5:38
  So
• 5:39
  that's,
• 5:39
  that's
• 5:40
  where
• 5:40
  we're
• 5:40
  at
• 5:40
  right
• 5:40
  now.
• 5:41
  Yeah.
• 5:41
  So
• 5:42
  we'll
• 5:42
  slide
• 5:42
  into
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  Easter
• 5:43
  holiday
• 5:44
  and
• 5:44
  then
• 5:44
  you'll
• 5:44
  probably
• 5:45
  come
• 5:45
  back,
• 5:45
  got
• 5:45
  a
• 5:45
  few
• 5:46
  days,
• 5:46
  get
• 5:46
  your
• 5:46
  taxes
• 5:47
  done
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  then
• 5:47
  you'll
• 5:47
  be
• 5:47
  on
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  striper
• 5:48
  train,
• 5:48
  right?
• 5:50
  Yeah.
• 5:50
  Yeah.
• 5:51
  My,
• 5:51
  my
• 5:51
  accountant
• 5:52
  hates
• 5:52
  me
• 5:52
  because
• 5:53
  he,
• 5:53
  he,
• 5:54
  he's
• 5:54
  trying
• 5:55
  to
• 5:55
  get
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  hold
• 5:55
  of
• 5:55
  me
• 5:56
  this
• 5:56
  time
• 5:56
  of
• 5:56
  year
• 5:56
  and
• 5:57
  that
• 5:57
  just.
• 5:57
  That
• 5:57
  just
• 5:58
  doesn't
• 5:58
  work.
• 5:58
  I
• 5:59
  think
• 5:59
  I've.
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  think
• 6:00
  I've
• 6:00
  been
• 6:01
  extended
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  last
• 6:02
  like
• 6:02
  five
• 6:02
  years,
• 6:04
  but
• 6:06
  we.
• 6:07
  Yeah,
• 6:07
  we'll
• 6:07
  have
• 6:07
  another
• 6:08
  week
• 6:08
  and
• 6:08
  a
• 6:08
  half
• 6:08
  or
• 6:09
  so.
• 6:09
  We
• 6:10
  are
• 6:10
  supposed
• 6:11

• 6:11
  little
• 6:11
  bit
• 6:12
  of
• 6:12
  rain
• 6:12
  over
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  weekend,
• 6:13
  so
• 6:14
  maybe
• 6:14
  that'll,
• 6:14
  that'll
• 6:15
  kind
• 6:15
  of
• 6:15
  bolster
• 6:15
  us
• 6:16
  a
• 6:16
  little
• 6:16
  bit,
• 6:16
  hopefully.
• 6:17
  Um,
• 6:17
  and
• 6:18
  then
• 6:18
  water
• 6:18
  temps
• 6:18
  or
• 6:20
  air
• 6:20
  temps
• 6:20
  are
• 6:20
  supposed
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  kind
• 6:21
  of

  it's

  85
• 8:40

  Want
