• 0:18
  look

  at
• 0:19
  your

• 0:19
  It
• 0:19
  looks
• 0:20
  kind
• 0:20
  of
• 0:20
  icky,
• 0:21
  like
• 0:21
  cold
• 0:21
  and
• 0:21
  rainy,
• 0:22
  slash
• 0:22
  snowy,
• 0:23
  right?
• 0:24
  Yeah,
• 0:24
  Nothing,
• 0:25
  nothing.
• 0:25
  Amazing.
• 0:25
  On
• 0:25
  the
• 0:26
  weather
• 0:26
  front.
• 0:26
  It's
• 0:27
  been
• 0:27
  warmed
• 0:27
  up
• 0:27
  a
• 0:28
  lot,
• 0:28
  so
• 0:28
  we
• 0:29
  are
• 0:29
  getting
• 0:29
  a
• 0:29
  lot
• 0:29
  of
• 0:30
  snow
• 0:30
  melt
• 0:30
  right
• 0:30
  now.
• 0:31
  A
• 0:31
  lot
• 0:31
  of
• 0:31
  the
• 0:31
  snow
• 0:32
  that
• 0:32
  we
• 0:32
  had
• 0:32
  on
• 0:32
  the
• 0:32
  ground
• 0:33
  is
• 0:34
  melting
• 0:34
  and
• 0:35
  getting
• 0:35
  into
• 0:36
  the
• 0:36
  water.
• 0:36
  So
• 0:37
  some
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  creeks
• 0:37
  are
• 0:38
  starting
• 0:38
  to
• 0:38
  creep
• 0:38
  up
• 0:39
  a
• 0:39
  lot.
• 0:39
  Some
• 0:39
  more
• 0:40
  than
• 0:40
  others.
• 0:40
  The
• 0:40
  j
• 0:41
  came
• 0:41
  up
• 0:41
  a
• 0:41
  lot
• 0:41
  in
• 0:41
  the
• 0:41
  past
• 0:42
  few
• 0:42
  days.
• 0:43
  It's
• 0:43
  definitely
• 0:43
  high
• 0:44
  and
• 0:44
  off
• 0:44
  color.
• 0:45
  Spring
• 0:45
  and
• 0:45
  Fishing
• 0:46
  Creek
• 0:46
  are
• 0:46
  melting
• 0:46
  a
• 0:46
  little
• 0:47
  more
• 0:47
  slowly.
• 0:47
  Smaller
• 0:48
  watersheds,
• 0:48
  so
• 0:49
  they're
• 0:49
  up
• 0:49
  with
• 0:49
  off
• 0:49
  color
• 0:50
  but
• 0:50
  still
• 0:51
  on
• 0:51
  the
• 0:51
  seasonal
• 0:52
  low
• 0:52
  side.
• 0:53
  And
• 0:53
  same
• 0:53
  thing
• 0:54
  with
• 0:54
  Penns.
• 0:54
  It's
• 0:54
  definitely
• 0:54
  going
• 0:55
  to
• 0:55
  get
• 0:55
  a
• 0:55
  lot
• 0:55
  more
• 0:55
  water
• 0:55
  in
• 0:56
  the
• 0:56
  Penn's
• 0:56
  watershed
• 0:56
  in
• 0:57
  the
• 0:57
  next
• 0:57
  couple
• 0:57
  of
• 0:57
  days
• 0:57
  with
• 0:58
  that
• 0:58
  snow
• 0:58
  melting.
• 0:59
  So
• 0:59
  everything'
• 1:00
  little
• 1:00
  up,
• 1:01
  everything's
• 1:01
  a
• 1:01
  little
• 1:02
  off
• 1:02
  color.
• 1:02
  You
• 1:03
  know,
• 1:03
  typical
• 1:03
  late
• 1:04
  winter
• 1:04
  kind
• 1:04
  of
• 1:05
  conditions
• 1:05
  right
• 1:05
  now.
• 1:06
  And
• 1:07
  that's
• 1:07
  pretty
• 1:07
  much
• 1:07
  what
• 1:07
  we
• 1:08
  got
• 1:08
  going
• 1:08
  on.
• 1:09
  Dry
• 1:10
  fly
• 1:10
  action
• 1:11
  is
• 1:11
  probably
• 1:11
  going
• 1:11
  to
• 1:12
  start
• 1:12
  picking
• 1:12
  up
• 1:12
  soon.
• 1:12
  And
• 1:13
  we're
• 1:13
  starting.
• 1:13
  We
• 1:13
  saw
• 1:13
  a
• 1:14
  couple
• 1:14
  of
• 1:14
  olives
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  other
• 1:15
  day,
• 1:16
  so
• 1:16
  I
• 1:16
  think
• 1:17
  in
• 1:17
  the
• 1:17
  next
• 1:17
  couple
• 1:17
  weeks
• 1:17
  it'll
• 1:18
  definitely
• 1:18
  break
• 1:18
  open
• 1:19
  when
• 1:19
  it
• 1:19
  warms
• 1:19
  up
• 1:19
  a
• 1:20
  bit
• 1:20
  more.
• 1:20
  So
• 1:20
  we
• 1:21
  should
• 1:21
  see
• 1:21
  some
• 1:21
  good
• 1:22
  bugs
• 1:22
  starting
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  move
• 1:23
  around
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  bit.
• 1:24
  Nymphing
• 1:24
  has
• 1:25
  been
• 1:25
  kind
• 1:25
  of
• 1:25
  consistent.
• 1:26
  It's
• 1:27
  not
• 1:27
  been
• 1:27
  great
• 1:28
  yet,
• 1:28
  but
• 1:28
  I
• 1:28
  think
• 1:28
  we're
• 1:29
  going
• 1:29
  to
• 1:29
  break
• 1:29
  open
• 1:29
  probably
• 1:30
  within
• 1:30
  the
• 1:30
  next
• 1:30
  couple
• 1:31
  of
• 1:31
  weeks
• 1:31
  here.
• 1:31
  So
• 1:32
  keep
• 1:32
  your,
• 1:32
  keep
• 1:33
  your
• 1:33
  calendars
• 1:33
  clear.
• 1:34
  Yeah,
• 1:34
  got
• 1:35
  it.
• 1:35
  And
• 1:35
  so
• 1:35
  is
• 1:35
  it
• 1:35
  worth
• 1:36
  giving
• 1:36
  folks
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  PSA
• 1:37
  that
• 1:37
  even
• 1:37
  though
• 1:37
  it's
• 1:38
  like
• 1:38
  45
• 1:39
  degrees
• 1:39
  outside,
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  water
• 1:40
  might
• 1:40
  be
• 1:40
  really,
• 1:40
  really
• 1:41
  cold
• 1:41
  with
• 1:41
  that
• 1:41
  snow
• 1:42
  melt,
• 1:42
  so
• 1:42
  they
• 1:42
  should
• 1:43
  temp
• 1:43
  it
• 1:43
  out
• 1:43
  first.
• 1:44
  Yeah,
• 1:44
  water's
• 1:45
  definitely
• 1:45
  going
• 1:45
  to
• 1:45
  be
• 1:45
  cold
• 1:46
  for
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  next
• 1:46
  couple
• 1:46
  of
• 1:46
  weeks,
• 1:47
  but
• 1:47
  we're
• 1:47
  almost
• 1:47
  there.
• 1:48
  We're
• 1:48
  almost
• 1:48
  there.
• 1:49
  The
• 1:49

• 1:49

• 1:49
  not
• 1:49
  quite
• 1:50
  beefed

  yet,
• 1:51
