  know,
• 0:24

  some
• 0:25
  pretty
• 0:25
  cool
• 0:25
  streamer
• 0:25
  fishing
• 0:26
  and
• 0:26
  other
• 0:26
  stuff,
• 0:26
  you
• 0:26
  might
• 0:26
  have
• 0:27
  a
• 0:27
  redds
• 0:27
  announcement
• 0:27
  you
• 0:27
  want
• 0:28
  to
• 0:28
  give
• 0:28
  folks.
• 0:29
  Oh,
• 0:30
  absolutely.
• 0:30
  We
• 0:30
  are
• 0:31
  definitely
• 0:32
  getting
• 0:32
  into
• 0:33
  fall
• 0:33
  over
• 0:33
  here.
• 0:33
  It's
• 0:34
  getting
• 0:34
  to
• 0:34
  be
• 0:35
  the
• 0:35
  cusp
• 0:35
  of
• 0:35
  November,
• 0:36
  so
• 0:36
  the
• 0:36
  temperatures
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  starting
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  drop
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  little
• 0:38
  night.
• 0:38
  We've
• 0:38
  definitely
• 0:38
  had
• 0:38
  a
• 0:39
  couple
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  frosty
• 0:39
  nights.
• 0:40
  So
• 0:40
  fall
• 0:41
  is
• 0:41
  here.
• 0:42
  Leaves
• 0:42
  are
• 0:42
  changing.
• 0:43
  It's
• 0:43
  quite
• 0:43
  beautiful.
• 0:44
  I
• 0:44
  enjoy
• 0:44
  it
• 0:44
  very
• 0:44
  much.
• 0:45
  Thank
• 0:45
  you.
• 0:46
  But,
• 0:46
  yeah,
• 0:46
  I
• 0:46
  mean,
• 0:47
  fishing
• 0:47
  has
• 0:48
  been
• 0:48
  pretty
• 0:49
  solid
• 0:49
  the
• 0:49
  past
• 0:50
  couple
• 0:50
  of
• 0:50
  weeks
• 0:50
  here,
• 0:51
  and
• 0:51
  we're
• 0:52
  looking,
• 0:52
  you
• 0:52
  know,
• 0:52
  to
• 0:53
  be
• 0:53
  typical
• 0:53
  fall
• 0:53
  fishing.
• 0:54
  You
• 0:54
  know,
• 0:54
  our
• 0:54
  conditions
• 0:55
  are
• 0:55
  low
• 0:55
  and
• 0:56
  clear.
• 0:56
  We
• 0:57
  haven't
• 0:57
  had
• 0:57
  much
• 0:57
  rain,
• 0:58
  but
• 0:58
  everything's
• 0:58
  about
• 0:58
  seasonal
• 0:59
  right
• 0:59
  now.
• 0:59
  So
• 1:00
  low,
• 1:00
  clear,
• 1:00
  clear,
• 1:01
  technical
• 1:01
  conditions
• 1:01
  on
• 1:02
  them
• 1:02
  been
• 1:02
  pretty
• 1:03
  bright
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  sunny,
• 1:04
  but
• 1:04
  we're
• 1:04
  still
• 1:04
  seeing
• 1:05
  some.
• 1:05
  Plenty
• 1:05
  of
• 1:05
  top
• 1:05
  water
• 1:06
  activity.
• 1:06
  We've
• 1:06
  got,
• 1:07
  you
• 1:07
  know,
• 1:07
  Caddis.
• 1:08
  October's
• 1:09
  around
• 1:09
  still.
• 1:09
  There's
• 1:10
  been
• 1:10
  lots
• 1:10
  of
• 1:10
  olives.
• 1:11
  ISOs
• 1:11
  have
• 1:12
  pretty
• 1:12
  much
• 1:12
  winded
• 1:13
  down.
• 1:13
  There's
• 1:13
  not
• 1:14
  a
• 1:14
  lot
• 1:14
  of
• 1:14
  them
• 1:14
  left,
• 1:14
  but
• 1:15
  a
• 1:15
  couple
• 1:15
  here
• 1:15
  and
• 1:15
  there.
• 1:16
  But
• 1:16
  fish
• 1:17
  are
• 1:17
  still
• 1:17
  eating
• 1:17
  lots
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  olives
• 1:18
  on
• 1:18
  top
• 1:18
  in
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  afternoon.
• 1:19
  It's
• 1:19
  when
• 1:19
  it
• 1:19
  warms
• 1:20
  up
• 1:20
  a
• 1:20
  little
• 1:20
  bit.
• 1:21
  The
• 1:21
  nymphing
• 1:21
  game
• 1:22
  has
• 1:22
  been
• 1:22
  solid.
• 1:23
  Smaller
• 1:24
  stuff's
• 1:24
  working
• 1:25
  well.
• 1:25
  Anything
• 1:25
  with
• 1:25
  a
• 1:26
  little
• 1:26
  bit
• 1:26
  of
• 1:26
  orange.
• 1:26
  Because
• 1:27
  it's
• 1:27
  fall
• 1:27
  and
• 1:28
  fish
• 1:28
  are
• 1:28
  colored
• 1:29
  up,
• 1:29
  we're
• 1:30
  definitely
• 1:30
  starting
• 1:30
  to
• 1:30
  spot
• 1:31
  some
• 1:31
  reds
• 1:31
  here
• 1:31
  and
• 1:32
  there.
• 1:32
  So
• 1:32
  it
• 1:33
  is
• 1:33
  time
• 1:33
  to
• 1:33
  start
• 1:33
  look
• 1:34
  out,
• 1:34
  looking
• 1:34
  out
• 1:34
  for
• 1:35
  those
• 1:35
  clear
• 1:35
  patches
• 1:36
  on
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  gravel.
• 1:37
  Don't
• 1:38
  fish
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  fish
• 1:38
  on
• 1:39
  them,
• 1:39
  don't
• 1:39
  walk
• 1:40
  on
• 1:40
  them.
• 1:41
  It
• 1:41
  is
• 1:41
  fall,
• 1:41
  so
• 1:42
  it's
• 1:42
  that
• 1:42
  time
• 1:42
  of
• 1:42
  year.
• 1:43
  Streamer
• 1:43
  bite
• 1:44
  has
• 1:44
  been
• 1:44
  picking
• 1:45
  up
• 1:45
  for
• 1:45
  sure.
• 1:46
  Just
• 1:46
  watch
• 1:46
  where
• 1:46
  you
• 1:47
  throw
• 1:47
  in
• 1:47
  those
• 1:47
  streamers.
• 1:48
  Low
• 1:48
  light
• 1:48
  conditions
• 1:49
  have
• 1:49
  been
• 1:49
  working
• 1:49
  a
• 1:49
  little
• 1:50
  better
• 1:50
  for
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  streamers,
• 1:51
  but
• 1:51
  fish
• 1:51
  are
• 1:51
  definitely
• 1:52
  getting
• 1:52
  grabby
• 1:53
  and
• 1:54
  are
• 1:54
  moving
• 1:54
  for
• 1:55
  those
• 1:55
  streamers.
• 1:55
  So
• 1:56
  typical
• 1:56
  fall
• 1:57
  fishing
• 1:57
  for
• 1:57
  out
• 1:57
  here
• 1:57
  in
• 1:57
  Central
• 1:58
  pa.
• 1:58
  It's
• 1:58
  definitely
• 1:59
  been
• 1:59
  some.
• 2:00
  A
• 2:00
  good
• 2:00
  couple
• 2:00
  of
• 2:00
  weeks,
• 2:01
  and
• 2:01
  I
• 2:01
  expect
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  next
• 2:01
  two
• 2:02
  weeks
• 2:02
  until
• 2:03
  we
• 2:03
  get
• 2:03
  right
• 2:03
  into
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  middle
• 2:03
  of
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  spawn
• 2:04
  to
• 2:04
  be
• 2:05
  pretty
• 2:05
  good.
• 2:06
  And
• 2:06
  what
• 2:06
  happens
• 2:07
  to
• 2:07
  your
• 2:07
  fishing
• 2:07
  karma
• 2:08
  if
• 2:08
  you
• 2:08
  mess
• 2:08
  with
• 2:08
  fish
• 2:09
  on
• 2:09
  redds
• 2:09
  or
• 2:09
  step
• 2:10
  on
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  redd?
• 2:12
  It's,
• 2:12
  it's,
• 2:13
  it's
• 2:13
  bad.
• 2:13
  I
• 2:13
  hear
• 2:14
  you'll
• 2:14
  guarantee
• 2:14
  to
• 2:14
  break
• 2:15
  a
• 2:15
  rod
• 2:15
  if
• 2:15
  that
• 2:15
  happens.
• 2:16
  Oh,
• 2:16
  wow.
• 2:17
  With
• 2:17
  no
• 2:17
  guarantee,
• 2:18
  right?
• 2:19
  It's
• 2:20
  a
• 2:20
  guarantee.
• 2:20
  It's
• 2:20
  100%
• 2:21
  guarantee
• 2:21
  you
• 2:21
  will
• 2:21
  break
• 2:22
  your.
• 2:22
  Rod,
• 2:22
  but
• 2:22
  you
• 2:22
  won't
• 2:23
  be
• 2:23
  able
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  turn
• 2:23
  it.
• 2:23
  But.
• 2:24
  But
• 2:24
  your
• 2:24
  rod
• 2:24
  guarantee
• 2:24
  doesn't
• 2:25
  cover
• 2:25
  that.
• 2:25
  That's
• 2:25
  my
• 2:26
  point.
• 2:26
  No.
• 2:27
  And
• 2:27
  then
• 2:27
  it's
• 2:27
  voided.
• 2:27
  That
• 2:28
  voids
• 2:28
  all
• 2:28
  warranties
• 2:29
  on
• 2:29
  all
• 2:29
  rods
• 2:29
  immediately.
• 2:30
  Yeah,
• 2:31
  I
• 2:32
  think
• 2:32
  we.
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  think
• 2:32
  we've
• 2:33
  made
• 2:33
  our
• 2:33
  point.
• 2:33
  And
• 2:34
  so,
• 2:34
  you
• 2:34
  know,
• 2:35
  we're
• 2:36
  almost
• 2:36
  to
• 2:36
  Halloween,
• 2:37
  but,
• 2:37
  you
• 2:37
  know,
• 2:37
  on
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  other
• 2:38
  side
• 2:38
  of
• 2:38
  Halloween
• 2:39
  means
• 2:39
  we're
• 2:39
  getting
• 2:40
  ready
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  ramp
• 2:40
  up
• 2:40
  for
• 2:40
  the
• 2:41
  holidays.
• 2:41
  You
• 2:42
  know,
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  suspect
• 2:42
  that
• 2:43
  people
• 2:43
  are
• 2:43
  going
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  start
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  see
• 2:44

  love
• 2:46
  in
• 2:46
  their
• 2:46
  life
• 2:46
  that
• 2:46
  like
• 2:47
  to
• 2:47
  fly
• 2:47
