• 0:07
  with
• 0:07
  the
• 0:07
  last
• 0:07
  East
• 0:08
  Tennessee
• 0:08
  fishing
• 0:08
  report
• 0:09
  of

  Ellis,
• 0:11
  how
• 0:11
  are
• 0:11
  you?
• 0:13
  I
• 0:13
  am
• 0:13
  doing
• 0:13
  well,
• 0:14
  Marv.
• 0:14
  How
• 0:14
  are
• 0:14
  you?
• 0:15
  As
• 0:15
  always.
• 0:16
  I'm
• 0:16
  just
• 0:16
  trying
• 0:16
  to
• 0:16
  stay
• 0:16
  out
• 0:17
  of
• 0:17
  trouble
• 0:17
  and
• 0:18
  took
• 0:18
  a
• 0:18
  look
• 0:19
  at
• 0:19
  your
• 0:19
  weather,
• 0:19
  and
• 0:19
  you
• 0:19
  got
• 0:19
  to
• 0:20
  be
• 0:20
  pretty
• 0:20
  damn
• 0:20
  happy
• 0:20
  in
• 0:20
  East
• 0:21
  Tennessee.
• 0:23
  Yeah,
• 0:24
  I
• 0:24
  think
• 0:24
  it
• 0:24
  was
• 0:24
  up
• 0:25
  to
• 0:25
  somewhere
• 0:26
  over
• 0:26
  60
• 0:27
  with
• 0:28
  gray
• 0:28
  skies
• 0:29
  and
• 0:29
  some
• 0:29
  rain.
• 0:30
  Both
• 0:30
  rivers
• 0:31
  are
• 0:31
  pushing
• 0:31
  some
• 0:32
  water,
• 0:32
  and
• 0:36
  my
• 0:36
  head
• 0:37
  has
• 0:37
  been.
• 0:39
  I'll
• 0:40
  restart
• 0:40
  that.
• 0:40
  I.
• 0:41
  I
• 0:42
  smell
• 0:43
  not
• 0:43
  great,
• 0:44
  and
• 0:45
  it
• 0:45
  is
• 0:46
  like
• 0:46
  a
• 0:46
  dead
• 0:47
  animal.
• 0:47
  And
• 0:48
  so
• 0:48
  that's
• 0:49
  sort
• 0:49
  of
• 0:49
  a
• 0:49
  testament
• 0:50
  to
• 0:50
  how
• 0:50
  much
• 0:50
  I've
• 0:50
  been
• 0:51
  fishing.
• 0:51
  Um,
• 0:52
  I've
• 0:53
  just
• 0:53
  been
• 0:53
  working
• 0:53
  on
• 0:54
  bucktail
• 0:55
  whenever
• 0:56
  I
• 0:56
  can,
• 0:57
  and
• 1:00
  so
• 1:00
  I
• 1:00
  haven't
• 1:00
  really
• 1:00
  had
• 1:01
  my
• 1:01
  eye
• 1:01
  on
• 1:01
  the
• 1:01
  weather.
• 1:02
  Thankfully,
• 1:04
  I've
• 1:04
  gotten
• 1:05
  a
• 1:05
  bunch
• 1:05
  done
• 1:05
  the
• 1:06
  last
• 1:06
  few
• 1:06
  days,
• 1:07
  which
• 1:07
  has
• 1:08
  been
• 1:08
  a
• 1:08
  little
• 1:08
  painful.
• 1:09
  I
• 1:09
  did
• 1:09
  sneak
• 1:09
  out
• 1:09
  yesterday
• 1:10
  for
• 1:10
  a
• 1:10
  couple
• 1:11
  hours.
• 1:11
  All
• 1:12
  right.
• 1:12
  I
• 1:12
  went
• 1:12
  musky
• 1:12
  fishing
• 1:13
  for
• 1:13
  a
• 1:13
  few
• 1:13
  days
• 1:13
  last
• 1:14
  week,
• 1:14
  too,
• 1:14
  but
• 1:15
  other
• 1:15
  than
• 1:16
  that,
• 1:18
  not.
• 1:19
  Not
• 1:19
  been
• 1:19
  getting
• 1:20
  out
• 1:20
  as
• 1:20
  much
• 1:20
  and
• 1:22
  changing
• 1:23
  that,
• 1:23
  hopefully
• 1:23
  starting
• 1:24
  tomorrow.
• 1:24
  And
• 1:25
  you
• 1:26
  got
• 1:26
  to
• 1:26
  update
• 1:26
  me
• 1:27
  on
• 1:27
  my
• 1:27
  weather.
• 1:28
  So
• 1:28
  it
• 1:28
  sounds
• 1:28
  like
• 1:28
  we're.
• 1:30
  We're
• 1:30
  gonna
• 1:30
  hang
• 1:31
  steady
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  then
• 1:33
  get
• 1:33
  to
• 1:33
  where
• 1:34
  it's
• 1:34
  not
• 1:34
  as
• 1:35
  cold
• 1:35
  as
• 1:35
  it
• 1:35
  was
• 1:35
  a
• 1:36
  few
• 1:36
  weeks
• 1:36
  ago,
• 1:36
  which
• 1:36
  I
• 1:37
  would
• 1:37
  consider
• 1:37
  to
• 1:37
  be
• 1:37
  unfishable.
• 1:38
  It's
• 1:39
  in
• 1:39
  the,
• 1:39
  you
• 1:40
  know,
• 1:40
  20s,
• 1:41
  low
• 1:41
  30s
• 1:41
  with
• 1:42
  wind.
• 1:44
  That's
• 1:44
  not
• 1:45
  bad
• 1:45
  for
• 1:45
  late
• 1:45
  December.
• 1:47
  Yeah.
• 1:47
  So
• 1:47
  at
• 1:47
  least
• 1:47
  now
• 1:48
  we.
• 1:48
  Everyone
• 1:48
  understands
• 1:49
  why
• 1:49
  you
• 1:49
  smell
• 1:49
  like
• 1:50
  BO
• 1:50
  and
• 1:50
  death,
• 1:51
  right?
• 1:53
  Yeah,
• 1:54
  I
• 1:55
  will.
• 1:55
  You
• 1:55
  could.
• 1:56
  You
• 1:56
  could
• 1:57
  hear
• 1:57
  me
• 1:57
  hesitating
• 1:58
  a
• 1:58
  little
• 1:58
  bit
• 1:58
  as.
• 1:58
  As
• 1:59
  I
• 1:59
  decided
• 2:00
  how
• 2:00
  much
• 2:01
  detail
• 2:01
  to
• 2:01
  offer
• 2:02
  and.
• 2:03
  And
• 2:03
  how
• 2:03
  I
• 2:03
  smell,
• 2:04
  but
• 2:04
  it's
• 2:05
  sort
• 2:05
  of
• 2:05
  wet
• 2:05
  dog.
• 2:08
  And
• 2:09
  then,
• 2:09
  you
• 2:09
  know,
• 2:10
  depends
• 2:10
  on.
• 2:13
  Today
• 2:13
  was
• 2:14
  pretty
• 2:14
  humid,
• 2:14
  and
• 2:15
  I
• 2:15
  was.
• 2:16
  I
• 2:16
  was
• 2:16
  washing
• 2:17
  some.
• 2:17
  I'm
• 2:17
  doing
• 2:17
  some
• 2:18
  deer
• 2:18
  belly
• 2:18
  as
• 2:18
  well.
• 2:19
  And,
• 2:20
  you
• 2:20
  know,
• 2:20
  there
• 2:20
  was
• 2:20
  a
• 2:21
  cut
• 2:21
  or
• 2:21
  two
• 2:21
  that
• 2:21
  didn't
• 2:22
  get
• 2:22
  much
• 2:23
  exposure
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  borax
• 2:24
  when
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  first
• 2:24
  picked
• 2:24
  it
• 2:25
  up.
• 2:25
  So.
• 2:26
  Yeah,
• 2:27
  we'll
• 2:27
  stick
• 2:27
  with
• 2:27
  Bo
• 2:28
  and
• 2:28
  wet
• 2:28
  dog.
• 2:29
  Yeah.
• 2:30
  So,
• 2:30
  you
• 2:31
  know,
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  you
• 2:31
  sandbag.
• 2:31
  That's
• 2:32
  because
• 2:32
  you've
• 2:32
  been
• 2:32
  out
• 2:32
  muskie
• 2:32
  fishing.
• 2:33
  What.
• 2:33
  What
• 2:33
  are
• 2:33
  you
• 2:33
  seeing
• 2:34
  on
• 2:34
  the
• 2:34
  water?
• 2:36
  Yeah,
• 2:39
  I.
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  went
• 2:40
  out
• 2:40
  and.
• 2:41
  And
• 2:41
  actually
• 2:41
  hit
• 2:42
  some
• 2:42
  new
• 2:42
  water
• 2:43
  on
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  French
• 2:43
  fraud.
• 2:46
  It
• 2:46
  was.
• 2:47
  It
• 2:47
  was
• 2:47
  a
• 2:48
  little
• 2:48
  too
• 2:48
  pushy,
• 2:48
  but
• 2:49
  it
• 2:49
  was.
• 2:49
  It
• 2:49
  was
• 2:49
  good
• 2:49
  to
• 2:50
  be
• 2:50
  out.
• 2:50
  And,
• 2:52
  you
• 2:52
  know,
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  muskie
• 2:53
  fishing
• 2:54
  has
• 2:54
  been
• 2:55
  as
• 2:56
  good
• 2:56
  as
• 2:56
  it
• 2:57
  gets.
• 2:57
  And
• 2:59
  I
• 3:00
  know
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  talked
• 3:00
  about
• 3:00
  this
• 3:01
  last
• 3:01
  time.
• 3:01
  It
• 3:01
  was.
• 3:02
  It's
• 3:02
  just
• 3:03
  been
• 3:03
  nice
• 3:03
  to.
• 3:05
  To
• 3:05
  feel
• 3:05
  and.
• 3:06
  And
• 3:06
  see
• 3:09
  that
• 3:09
  the.
• 3:10
  The
• 3:10
  muskie
• 3:10
  homes
• 3:11
  are
• 3:11
  all
• 3:11
  still
• 3:11
  there
• 3:11
  after
• 3:12
  Helene.
• 3:12
  And
• 3:12
  there's,
• 3:13
  there's
• 3:14
  nothing
• 3:14
  catastrophic
• 3:15
  that
• 3:15
  happened
• 3:17
  to
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  fishery
• 3:18
  up
• 3:18
  there
• 3:20
  for
• 3:21
  the
• 3:22
  trout.
• 3:23
  I
• 3:24
  would
• 3:24
  say
• 3:25
  sort
• 3:25
  of
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  same
• 3:26
  deal
• 3:27
  where
• 3:27
  we're
• 3:27
  in
• 3:27
  the,
• 3:27
  the
• 3:28
  winter
• 3:28
  pattern
• 3:28
  of,
• 3:31
  you
• 3:31
  know,
• 3:31
  dry
• 3:31
  fly
• 3:32
  fishing
• 3:32
  is
• 3:33
  midges,
• 3:33
  blue
• 3:33
  wings.
• 3:36
  And
• 3:36
  a
• 3:36
  couple
• 3:37
  weeks
• 3:37
  ago,
• 3:38
  right
• 3:39
  after
• 3:39
  we
• 3:39
  aired
• 3:40
  the
• 3:42
  podcast,
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  think
• 3:43
  this
• 3:43
  was
• 3:43
  two
• 3:43
  episodes
• 3:44
  ago,
• 3:44
  where
• 3:46
  I
• 3:46
  was
• 3:46
  talking
• 3:47
  about
• 3:47
  the
• 3:47
  finicky
• 3:48
  nature
• 3:49
  of
• 3:49
  the
• 3:50
  South
• 3:50
  Holston
• 3:51
  dry
• 3:51
  fly
• 3:51
  fishing.
• 3:54
  Had
• 3:55
  a
• 3:55
  guy
• 3:55
  on
• 3:55
  my
• 3:55
  boat
• 3:55
  who
• 3:56
  experienced
• 3:56
  exactly
• 3:57
  that.
• 3:57
  So,
• 3:59
  you
• 4:00
  know,
• 4:00
  fishing
• 4:02
  like
• 4:02
  your
• 4:02
  18
• 4:03
  or
• 4:03
  20
• 4:03
  is
• 4:03
  a
• 4:04
  cider
• 4:04
  and,
• 4:05
  and
• 4:05
  going
• 4:06
  down,
• 4:06
  we,
• 4:06
  we
• 4:07
  got
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  few
• 4:08
  on
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  26.
• 4:09
  And
• 4:09
  at
• 4:10
  that
• 4:10
  point,
• 4:10
  you're
• 4:10
  fishing
• 4:11
  6.5x.
• 4:13
  You
• 4:13
  can
• 4:13
  fish
• 4:13
  7x.
• 4:15
  You
• 4:15
  just
• 4:15
  gotta
• 4:16
  be
• 4:16
  real
• 4:16
  careful
• 4:17
  on
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  hook
• 4:17
  set.
• 4:19
  Watauga
• 4:20
  is
• 4:20
  still
• 4:21
  pretty
• 4:22
  off,
• 4:26
  I
• 4:26
  would
• 4:27
  expect.
• 4:27
  It's
• 4:27
  starting
• 4:28
  to
• 4:28
  generate
• 4:29
  with,
• 4:29
  with
• 4:30
  some
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  rain
• 4:30
  we've
• 4:31
  gotten.
• 4:31
  There's.
• 4:32
  They're
• 4:32
  pushing
• 4:33
  water
• 4:33
  through
• 4:33
  and,
• 4:36
  you
• 4:37
  know,
• 4:37
  part
• 4:37
  of
• 4:37
  it
• 4:37
  is
• 4:38
  settling,
• 4:39
  but
• 4:39
  another
• 4:39
  part
• 4:39
  of
• 4:39
  it
• 4:39
  is
• 4:40
  there's
• 4:40
  a.
• 4:41
  This
• 4:41
  big
• 4:42
  chunk
• 4:42
  of
• 4:42
  sediment
• 4:46
  that
• 4:46
  came
• 4:46
  from
• 4:47
  runoff
• 4:47
  after
• 4:47
  Helene
• 4:49
  on
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  bottom
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  Watauga
• 4:51
  Lake
• 4:51
  that
• 4:51
  just
• 4:52
  needs
• 4:52
  to
• 4:53
  move.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:55
  it's,
• 4:55
  you
• 4:55
  know,
• 4:56
  it's
• 4:56
  unlike
• 4:56
  the
• 4:57
  other
• 4:57
  instances
• 4:58
  of
• 4:58
  muddy
• 4:58
  water
• 4:59
  on
• 4:59
  Freestones
• 5:00
  where
• 5:01
  levels
• 5:02
  sort
• 5:02
  of
• 5:03
  drop
• 5:03
  and
• 5:04
  sediment
• 5:06
  settles
• 5:07
  and,
• 5:07
  and
• 5:08
  things
• 5:08
  clear
• 5:08
  up.
• 5:09
  So
• 5:09
  this
• 5:09
  is
• 5:09
  just.
• 5:11
  We
• 5:11
  need
• 5:11
  the,
• 5:12
  we
• 5:12
  need
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  lake
• 5:13
  to
• 5:14
  release
• 5:15
  more
• 5:15
  water
• 5:16
  and
• 5:16
  push
• 5:17
  more
• 5:17
  of
• 5:18
  that
• 5:18
  sediment
• 5:18
  out.
• 5:18
  So
• 5:19
  that's
• 5:19
  happening
• 5:20
  right
• 5:20
  now.
• 5:21
  And
• 5:21
  it's,
• 5:22
  it's
• 5:22
  down
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  like.
• 5:25
  I
• 5:26
  don't
• 5:26
  know
• 5:26
  how
• 5:26
  to
• 5:26
  describe
• 5:26
  that.
• 5:28
  Like
• 5:28
  a,
• 5:29
  like
• 5:29
  a
• 5:30
  clay,
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  teal
• 5:32
  clay
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  might
• 5:35
  make
• 5:35
  no
• 5:35
  sense,
• 5:36
  but
• 5:37
  it's,
• 5:37
  it's
• 5:38
  still
• 5:38
  pretty
• 5:38
  off
• 5:38
  color
• 5:39
  and
• 5:39
  opaque
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  I'm,
• 5:42
  I'm.
• 5:42
  We
• 5:43
  are
• 5:43
  waiting,
• 5:44
  you
• 5:44
  know,
• 5:45
  any
• 5:45
  big
• 5:46
  hatch
• 5:46
  activity,
• 5:47
  but
• 5:48
  it's
• 5:49
  right
• 5:49
  around
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  corner.
• 5:50
  And
• 5:50
  honestly,
• 5:51
  with
• 5:52
  respawn
• 5:53
  or
• 5:53
  with
• 5:54
  post
• 5:54
  spawn
• 5:55
  coming
• 5:55
  up
• 5:55
  and
• 5:56
  having
• 5:56
  that
• 5:57
  water
• 5:57
  be
• 5:59
  as
• 5:59
  off
• 5:59
  color
• 6:00
  as
• 6:00
  it
• 6:00
  has
• 6:01
  been,
• 6:04
  I'm
• 6:04
  excited.
• 6:05
  That's
• 6:06
  about
• 6:06
  as
• 6:06
  much
• 6:07
  as
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  can
• 6:07
  ask
• 6:07
  for.
• 6:08
  Yeah.
• 6:08
  And
• 6:08
  got
• 6:09
  a
• 6:09
  question
• 6:09
  for
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  from
• 6:10
  Josh,
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  he
• 6:11
  wanted
• 6:11
  to
• 6:11
  get
• 6:11
  your
• 6:11
  thoughts
• 6:12
  on
• 6:13
  tips
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  tactics
• 6:14
  for
• 6:15
  fishing
• 6:15
  deeper,
• 6:16
  slower
• 6:16
  water
• 6:17
  for
• 6:17
  larger
• 6:18
  tailwater
• 6:18
  trout.
• 6:21
  Yeah,
• 6:22
  well,
• 6:23
  there's
• 6:26
  a
• 6:26
  couple
• 6:27
  different
• 6:27
  avenues.
• 6:27
  It
• 6:28
  really
• 6:28
  depends
• 6:28
  on
• 6:29
  what
• 6:29
  your
• 6:29
  goal
• 6:29
  is.
• 6:30
  And
• 6:30
  so
• 6:30
  I've,
• 6:31
  I've
• 6:32
  been
• 6:32
  thinking
• 6:32
  about
• 6:32
  this
• 6:32
  a
• 6:33
  bunch
• 6:33
  and
• 6:34
  I
• 6:34
  may
• 6:35
  have
• 6:35
  talked
• 6:35
  about
• 6:36
  this,
• 6:36
  but
• 6:38
  you
• 6:39
  know,
• 6:39
  when,
• 6:39
  when
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  go
• 6:40
  out
• 6:40
  and
• 6:40
  you're
• 6:41
  fishing,
• 6:44
  you
• 6:44
  know,
• 6:44
  a
• 6:44
  big
• 6:45
  white
• 6:45
  fly
• 6:45
  or
• 6:46
  something
• 6:46
  like,
• 6:46
  you
• 6:46
  know,
• 6:46
  big
• 6:47
  swim
• 6:47
  fly
• 6:47
  changer
• 6:48
  swim
• 6:48
  bug,
• 6:49
  drunken
• 6:49
  disorder
• 6:49
  or
• 6:50
  something
• 6:50
  like
• 6:50
  that,
• 6:52
  you're
• 6:53
  really,
• 6:54
  you're
• 6:55
  going
• 6:55
  out
• 6:56
  fishing
• 6:56
  for
• 6:58
  an
• 6:58
  eat
• 7:00
  as
• 7:00
  opposed
• 7:00
  to,
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  know,
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  get
• 7:02
  a,
• 7:02
  you
• 7:02
  get
• 7:03
  a
• 7:03
  12
• 7:03
  inch
• 7:03
  brown,
• 7:05
  it'll
• 7:06
  come
• 7:06
  out
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  smash
• 7:06
  one
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  those
• 7:07
  things.
• 7:08
  And
• 7:08
  then
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  course
• 7:09
  you
• 7:09
  get
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  big
• 7:09
  ones
• 7:09
  too.
• 7:11
  So
• 7:12
  I
• 7:13
  do
• 7:13
  just
• 7:13
  want
• 7:13
  to
• 7:14
  kind
• 7:14
  of
• 7:15
  have
• 7:15
  that
• 7:15
  preface
• 7:16
  that
• 7:18
  you
• 7:18
  can
• 7:18
  go
• 7:19
  out
• 7:19
  and
• 7:19
  hunt
• 7:19
  big
• 7:20
  fish
• 7:21
  knowing
• 7:21
  where
• 7:21
  they
• 7:22
  are,
• 7:22
  knowing
• 7:22
  where
• 7:23
  they're
• 7:23
  more
• 7:23
  likely
• 7:23
  to
• 7:24
  be
• 7:24
  and
• 7:27
  understanding
• 7:28
  that
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  odds
• 7:29
  of
• 7:29
  it
• 7:30
  happening
• 7:30
  are,
• 7:32
  are,
• 7:32
  are
• 7:33
  pretty
• 7:33
  low.
• 7:36
  So
• 7:36
  fishing
• 7:37
  the,
• 7:37
  the,
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  deep
• 7:38
  and
• 7:39
  slow
• 7:41
  with
• 7:41
  streamers
• 7:43
  for
• 7:44
  big
• 7:44
  fish,
• 7:47
  I,
• 7:47
  I
• 7:47
  just
• 7:47
  want
• 7:47
  to
• 7:48
  be
• 7:48
  careful
• 7:49
  that
• 7:51
  I,
• 7:52
  I
• 7:52
  don't
• 7:52
  want
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  thought
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  be,
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  know,
• 7:55
  streamer
• 7:55
  fishing
• 7:57
  in
• 7:57
  that
• 7:58
  specific
• 7:58
  scenario
• 7:59
  is
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  best
• 7:59
  way
• 8:00
  to
• 8:00
  get
• 8:00
  a
• 8:01
  big
• 8:01
  fish
• 8:01
  to
• 8:02
  commit.
• 8:04
  You
• 8:05
  may
• 8:05
  be
• 8:05
  better
• 8:06
  off,
• 8:06
  I
• 8:06
  mean
• 8:06
  if
• 8:07
  it's,
• 8:07
  if
• 8:07
  it's
• 8:07
  deep
• 8:08
  and
• 8:08
  really
• 8:08
  clear,
• 8:10
  you
• 8:10
  might
• 8:10
  be
• 8:11
  better
• 8:11
  off
• 8:12
  doing
• 8:14
  you
• 8:15
  know,
• 8:15
  size
• 8:15
  24
• 8:16
  midge
• 8:17
  off
• 8:17
  of
• 8:18
  an
• 8:19
  8
• 8:19
  foot
• 8:19
  drop
• 8:20
  or
• 8:20
  a
• 8:20
  6.5x,
• 8:23
  you
• 8:24
  know,
• 8:24
  drop
• 8:24
  shot.
• 8:24
  There's
• 8:25
  guys
• 8:25
  have
• 8:26
  businesses
• 8:27
  and,
• 8:27
  and,
• 8:27
  and
• 8:28
  careers
• 8:28
  doing
• 8:28
  that
• 8:29
  on
• 8:29
  the
• 8:29
  South
• 8:29
  Holston
• 8:30
  for
• 8:30
  a
• 8:30
  bunch
• 8:31
  of
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  big
• 8:31
  lake
• 8:31
  run
• 8:32
  fish.
• 8:32
  And
• 8:35
  I,
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  have
• 8:36
  nothing
• 8:36
  against
• 8:37
  it
• 8:37
  as
• 8:37
  a,
• 8:38
  like
• 8:38
  it's
• 8:38
  hard
• 8:38
  to
• 8:38
  do.
• 8:39
  It's,
• 8:39
  it
• 8:39
  requires
• 8:40
  patience.
• 8:40
  You
• 8:40
  have
• 8:40
  to,
• 8:42
  there's
• 8:43
  stick
• 8:43
  to
• 8:43
  itiveness
• 8:44
  involved.
• 8:44
  You
• 8:44
  have
• 8:45
  to
• 8:46
  go
• 8:47
  out
• 8:47
  there
• 8:47
  and,
• 8:48
  and
• 8:48
  kind
• 8:49
  of
• 8:49
  set
• 8:49
  your
• 8:49
  eye
• 8:49
  on
• 8:50
  the
• 8:50
  prize
• 8:50
  and
• 8:52
  recognize
• 8:53
  that
• 8:53
  you're
• 8:53
  not
• 8:53
  going
• 8:53
  to
• 8:54
  get
• 8:54
  very
• 8:54
  many
• 8:54
  bites
• 8:55
  and
• 8:55
  you
• 8:56
  might
• 8:56
  get
• 8:56
  the
• 8:56
  big
• 8:56
  dog.
• 8:57
  I
• 8:57
  personally
• 8:58
  just
• 8:58
  don't
• 8:58
  enjoy
• 8:59
  fishing
• 8:59
  that
• 9:00
  way.
• 9:01
  So
• 9:02
  that's,
• 9:03
  that's
• 9:03
  why
• 9:04
  you
• 9:04
  don't
• 9:04
  hear
• 9:05
  as
• 9:05
  much
• 9:05
  of
• 9:05
  it
• 9:05
  coming
• 9:06
  from
• 9:06
  me.
• 9:08
  But
• 9:08
  the,
• 9:08
  yeah,
• 9:09
  the
• 9:09
  deep
• 9:09
  slow
• 9:10
  tail
• 9:11
  water
• 9:12
  where
• 9:12
  it's,
• 9:12
  where
• 9:12
  it's
• 9:13
  also
• 9:13
  most
• 9:13
  of
• 9:13
  the
• 9:13
  time
• 9:14
  gin
• 9:14
  clear.
• 9:18
  The
• 9:19
  reason
• 9:19
  why
• 9:19
  that
• 9:19
  might
• 9:20
  be
• 9:20
  more
• 9:20
  affected
• 9:20
  is,
• 9:21
  is
• 9:21
  because
• 9:23
  getting
• 9:24
  something,
• 9:25
  getting
• 9:25
  a
• 9:26
  streamer
• 9:27
  to
• 9:27
  one
• 9:27
  of
• 9:27
  those
• 9:27
  fish
• 9:28
  where
• 9:28
  we're
• 9:28
  talking
• 9:28
  five,
• 9:29
  six
• 9:29
  feet
• 9:29
  down
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  water
• 9:30
  column,
• 9:31
  they
• 9:31
  aren't
• 9:32
  there
• 9:32
  because
• 9:33
  they
• 9:33
  are.
• 9:35
  And,
• 9:36
  and
• 9:37
  to,
• 9:38
  I
• 9:38
  guess
• 9:38
  for
• 9:38
  clarity,
• 9:39
  what
• 9:39
  I'm
• 9:39
  talking
• 9:39
  about
• 9:40
  would
• 9:40
  be
• 9:40
  fish
• 9:40
  holding
• 9:42
  mid
• 9:43
  channel
• 9:44
  in,
• 9:44
  in
• 9:44
  the
• 9:44
  deepest
• 9:45
  part
• 9:46
  of
• 9:47
  some
• 9:47
  of
• 9:47
  these
• 9:47
  pools.
• 9:48
  So
• 9:48
  not
• 9:48
  adjacent
• 9:49
  to
• 9:49
  a
• 9:49
  weed
• 9:50
  bed,
• 9:50
  not
• 9:51
  you
• 9:51
  know,
• 9:52
  not
• 9:52
  on
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  bank,
• 9:53
  not
• 9:53
  near
• 9:53
  a
• 9:53
  rock.
• 9:54
  They're
• 9:54
  there
• 9:55
  for.
• 9:55
  They're
• 9:56
  not
• 9:56
  going
• 9:56
  to
• 9:56
  move
• 9:57
  and
• 9:57
  they're
• 9:58
  protected.
• 9:59
  And
• 9:59
  sure
• 9:59
  there's
• 10:00
  food
• 10:00
  nearby,
• 10:01
  but
• 10:01
  they're
• 10:01
  not
• 10:01
  there
• 10:01
  to
• 10:02
  eat.
• 10:02
  They're
• 10:02
  there
• 10:03
  to
• 10:04
  hold
• 10:04
  steady
• 10:04
  until
• 10:05
  it's
• 10:05
  time
• 10:05
  to
• 10:05
  eat,
• 10:05
  which
• 10:06
  is
• 10:06
  probably
• 10:06
  at
• 10:06
  night
• 10:06
  or
• 10:07
  high
• 10:07
  water.
• 10:10
  And,
• 10:11
  and
• 10:11
  so
• 10:11
  it's,
• 10:12
  it's.
• 10:13
  Those
• 10:13
  fish
• 10:13
  are

• 10:20
  their
• 10:20
  genetics
• 10:21
  but
• 10:21
  just
• 10:21
  by
• 10:22
  their
• 10:22
  positioning.
• 10:23
  They're
• 10:24
  they're
• 10:24
  not
• 10:24
  there
• 10:25
  to
• 10:25
  eat.
• 10:25
  Right
• 10:25
  now
• 10:26
  when
• 10:26
  you're,
• 10:28
  you
• 10:28
  know,
• 10:28
  when
• 10:28
  you're
• 10:28
  hitting
• 10:29
  some
• 10:29
  of
• 10:29
  these
• 10:29
  banks
• 10:32
  that
• 10:32
  are
• 10:33
  maybe
• 10:34
  812
• 10:34
  inches
• 10:35
  deep,
• 10:35
  but
• 10:35
  then
• 10:36
  you
• 10:36
  know,
• 10:36
  drop
• 10:36
  off
• 10:36
  to
• 10:37
  maybe
• 10:37
  a
• 10:37
  foot
• 10:37
  or
• 10:37
  two
• 10:38
  in
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  medium
• 10:40
  speed
• 10:40
  water
• 10:40
  and
• 10:40
  you
• 10:41
  see
• 10:41
  a
• 10:41
  big
• 10:41
  fish
• 10:41
  come
• 10:42
  out
• 10:42
  and,
• 10:43
  and
• 10:43
  try
• 10:44
  to
• 10:44
  take
• 10:44
  the
• 10:44
  rod
• 10:44
  out
• 10:44
  of
• 10:45
  your
• 10:45
  hands.
• 10:45
  That
• 10:46
  fish
• 10:46
  is
• 10:46
  waiting
• 10:47
  there
• 10:47
  and
• 10:48
  specifically
• 10:48
  waiting
• 10:49
  to
• 10:49
  do
• 10:49
  exactly
• 10:50
  that
• 10:51
  versus
• 10:52
  the
• 10:53
  big
• 10:53
  fish
• 10:54
  in
• 10:54
  the
• 10:54
  deep
• 10:54
  slow.
• 10:58
  That
• 10:58
  requires
• 10:58
  a
• 10:58
  bunch
• 10:59
  of
• 10:59
  convincing.
• 10:59
  So
• 11:00
  on
• 11:00
  the
• 11:00
  streamer
• 11:01
  front
• 11:03
  you
• 11:03
  want
• 11:03
  to
• 11:03
  think
• 11:03
  about,
• 11:05
  I
• 11:06
  wouldn't
• 11:06
  worry
• 11:06
  about
• 11:06
  longer
• 11:07
  leaders
• 11:09
  for
• 11:09
  spookiness,
• 11:10
  but
• 11:10
  for,
• 11:11
  for
• 11:11
  fly
• 11:12
  mobility
• 11:12
  it
• 11:12
  does
• 11:12
  become
• 11:13
  important.
• 11:13
  So
• 11:13
  going,
• 11:14
  you
• 11:14
  know,
• 11:14
  15
• 11:15
  pound,
• 11:15
  then
• 11:16
  12
• 11:16
  pound
• 11:18
  and
• 11:19
  then
• 11:21
  giving
• 11:22
  it
• 11:22
  as
• 11:22
  much
• 11:22
  speed
• 11:22
  as
• 11:23
  you
• 11:23
  can.
• 11:23
  So
• 11:24
  two
• 11:24
  handing
• 11:25
  and
• 11:27
  you
• 11:27
  know,
• 11:28
  it
• 11:28
  doesn't
• 11:28
  matter
• 11:28
  what
• 11:29
  you
• 11:29
  can
• 11:29
  do
• 11:29
  with
• 11:29
  a
• 11:29
  changer,
• 11:30
  but
• 11:30
  do
• 11:30
  it
• 11:31
  with
• 11:31
  a
• 11:31
  dungeon,
• 11:32
  you
• 11:33
  know,
• 11:33
  burning
• 11:33
  that
• 11:34
  thing
• 11:35
  across
• 11:35
  its
• 11:35
  line
• 11:36
  of
• 11:36
  sight
• 11:36
  if
• 11:36
  you're
• 11:36
  sight
• 11:37
  fishing
• 11:37
  it.
• 11:37
  And
• 11:37
  then
• 11:38
  there's
• 11:38
  also,
• 11:39
  you
• 11:39
  know,
• 11:39
  weed
• 11:39
  beds
• 11:40
  and,
• 11:41
  and
• 11:41
  banks
• 11:41
  where
• 11:42
  if
• 11:42
  you
• 11:43
  take
• 11:43
  for
• 11:43
  example,
• 11:43
  a,
• 11:44
  a
• 11:44
  drunken
• 11:45
  disorderly
• 11:46
  and
• 11:47
  you
• 11:47
  know,
• 11:48
  get
• 11:48
  that
• 11:48
  thing
• 11:48
  right
• 11:48
  down
• 11:48
  against
• 11:49
  the
• 11:49
  bank
• 11:49
  and,
• 11:50
  and
• 11:50
  dog
• 11:51
  walk
• 11:51
  it
• 11:52
  Every
• 11:53
  time
• 11:53
  it,
• 11:53
  every
• 11:54
  time
• 11:54
  you're
• 11:54
  hitting
• 11:54
  that,
• 11:56
  I,
• 11:56
  I
• 11:56
  refer
• 11:57
  as
• 11:57
  tap,
• 11:58
  tap,
• 11:58
  tap,
• 11:59
  tap.
• 11:59
  Each
• 11:59
  time
• 12:00
  you're
• 12:00
  hitting
• 12:00
  that
• 12:00
  and
• 12:00
  it's
• 12:01
  walking
• 12:01
  back
• 12:01
  and
• 12:01
  forth,
• 12:02
  I'm
• 12:02
  moving
• 12:02
  my
• 12:02
  head
• 12:03
  back
• 12:03
  and
• 12:03
  forth
• 12:03
  right
• 12:03
  now.
• 12:04
  Every
• 12:04
  time
• 12:04
  it's
• 12:05
  doing
• 12:05
  that,
• 12:05
  it
• 12:05
  digs
• 12:06
  a
• 12:06
  little
• 12:06
  more.
• 12:06
  And
• 12:06
  that's,
• 12:07
  it's.
• 12:07
  One
• 12:07
  of
• 12:07
  the
• 12:07
  beauties
• 12:07
  of
• 12:07
  that
• 12:08
  fly
• 12:08
  is
• 12:08
  that
• 12:08
  even
• 12:08
  though
• 12:09
  it's
• 12:09
  buoyant
• 12:09
  when
• 12:10
  you're,
• 12:10
  when
• 12:10
  you're
• 12:10
  walking
• 12:11
  the
• 12:11
  dog,
• 12:11
  it
• 12:12
  digs
• 12:12
  a
• 12:12
  little
• 12:12
  more
• 12:12
  each
• 12:13
  time.
• 12:13
  So
• 12:13
  you,
• 12:14
  you
• 12:14
  can
• 12:14
  get
• 12:14
  a
• 12:14
  presentation
• 12:16
  lower
• 12:17
  in
• 12:17
  the
• 12:17
  water
• 12:17
  column
• 12:18
  and
• 12:18
  especially
• 12:18
  in
• 12:19
  those
• 12:19
  deep
• 12:19
  slow
• 12:20
  pools.
• 12:22
  You're,
• 12:23
  and
• 12:23
  I'm
• 12:23
  stealing
• 12:23
  this
• 12:23
  from
• 12:24
  Tommy,
• 12:24
  but
• 12:24
  you
• 12:24
  have
• 12:24
  a
• 12:25
  sales
• 12:25
  pitch
• 12:26
  that
• 12:26
  is
• 12:28
  so
• 12:28
  much
• 12:28
  more
• 12:28
  effective,
• 12:29
  so
• 12:29
  much
• 12:29
  more
• 12:29
  convincing
• 12:30
  than
• 12:33
  a
• 12:33
  couple
• 12:33
  pieces
• 12:34
  of
• 12:34
  marabou
• 12:35
  tied
• 12:35
  to
• 12:35
  a
• 12:35
  few
• 12:35
  hooks
• 12:37
  and
• 12:39
  trying
• 12:40
  to
• 12:40
  change
• 12:40
  up
• 12:41
  and
• 12:41
  extend
• 12:42
  what
• 12:42
  those
• 12:42
  kills
• 12:42
  are.
• 12:43
  So
• 12:43
  you
• 12:44
  know
• 12:44
  that
• 12:44
  tap,
• 12:44
  tap,
• 12:44
  tap,
• 12:45
  tap
• 12:45
  is
• 12:45
  really
• 12:46
  tap,

  tap,
• 12:47
  kill,
• 12:47
  tap,
• 12:47
  kill,
• 12:48
  tap.
• 12:49
  Giving
• 12:49
  big
• 12:49
  pauses,
• 12:50
  letting
• 12:50
  that
• 12:51
  slack
• 12:51
  go,
• 12:51
  letting
• 12:52
  your
• 12:52
  sinking
• 12:52
  line
• 12:53
  pull
• 12:53
  it
• 12:53
  down,
• 12:53
  say
• 12:54
  your
• 12:54
  next
• 12:54
  little
• 12:54
  tap

  it,
• 12:55
  it,
• 12:55
  it
• 12:55
  reorients
• 12:56
  and
• 12:56
  goes
• 12:57
  down.
• 13:00
  There's
• 13:00
  just,
• 13:00
  there's
• 13:01
  so
• 13:01
  much
• 13:01
  to
• 13:01
  explore
• 13:02
  with,
• 13:03
  with
• 13:04
  some
• 13:04
  of
• 13:04
  the,
• 13:04
  you
• 13:05
  know,
• 13:05
  how
• 13:05
  can
• 13:05
  I
• 13:05
  find
• 13:06
  depth
• 13:06
  and
• 13:06
  do
• 13:06
  so
• 13:06
  in
• 13:06
  a
• 13:06
  convincing
• 13:07
  way
• 13:07
  other
• 13:08
  than
• 13:09
  let's
• 13:09
  fish
• 13:09
  a
• 13:09
  jig
• 13:10
  fly.
• 13:11
  That
• 13:11
  said,
• 13:12
  putting
• 13:13
  on
• 13:13
  something
• 13:13
  small
• 13:14
  like
• 13:15
  a
• 13:15
  really
• 13:15
  sparsely
• 13:15
  tied
• 13:16
  marabou
• 13:17
  type
• 13:17
  streamer
• 13:18
  with,
• 13:18
  with
• 13:18
  some
• 13:18
  weight
• 13:20
  and
• 13:20
  fishing
• 13:20
  it
• 13:20
  more
• 13:21
  like
• 13:21
  a
• 13:21
  jig
• 13:22
  and
• 13:23
  then
• 13:25
  if
• 13:25
  you
• 13:25
  want
• 13:25
  to
• 13:25
  go
• 13:25
  ahead
• 13:26
  and
• 13:26
  cancel
• 13:26
  me,
• 13:26
  you
• 13:27
  can
• 13:27
  use
• 13:27
  a
• 13:28
  conventional
• 13:28
  rod,
• 13:29
  shout
• 13:29
  out
• 13:30
  TFO
• 13:31
  and
• 13:32
  you
• 13:32
  know,
• 13:33
  throw
• 13:33
  on
• 13:33
  a
• 13:33
  little
• 13:33
  jig,
• 13:34
  see
• 13:34
  what
• 13:34
  happens.
• 13:35
  It's.
• 13:35
  It's
• 13:35
  effectively
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  same
• 13:36
  thing
• 13:36
  as
• 13:36
  Memphane.
• 13:38
  You
• 13:39
  could
• 13:39
  even
• 13:39
  jigger
• 13:39
  crelex,
• 13:40
  right?
• 13:41
  Yeah.
• 13:42
  Oh,
• 13:43
  God,
• 13:43
  absolutely.
• 13:44
  Man,
• 13:44
  that
• 13:45
  thing
• 13:45
  in,
• 13:46
  in
• 13:47
  saltwater
• 13:48
  just
• 13:49
  bouncing
• 13:49
  across
• 13:49
  the
• 13:50
  bottom
• 13:50
  in
• 13:50
  front
• 13:50
  of
• 13:50
  a
• 13:50
  redfish.
• 13:52
  Yeah,
• 13:52
  there,
• 13:52
  there's.
• 13:54
  Call
• 13:54
  it
• 13:54
  whatever
• 13:54
  you
• 13:55
  want,
• 13:55
  but
• 13:56
  the,
• 13:56
  the
• 13:56
  presentations
• 13:57
  you
• 13:57
  can
• 13:57
  get
• 13:58
  with
• 13:58
  a
• 13:58
  little
• 13:58
  bit
• 13:58
  of
• 13:58
  weight
• 13:59
  and
• 13:59
  the
• 13:59
  sparsely
• 13:59
  tied
• 14:00
  whatever.
• 14:02
  What,
• 14:02
  what
• 14:03
  becomes
• 14:04
  the
• 14:04
  difficult
• 14:05
  part
• 14:05
  is
• 14:05
  doing
• 14:05
  it
• 14:06
  with
• 14:06
  fly
• 14:06
  line.
• 14:07
  And
• 14:08
  so
• 14:09
  nymphing,
• 14:09
  you
• 14:10
  bypass
• 14:10
  that
• 14:10
  because
• 14:11
  you
• 14:11
  just
• 14:11
  have
• 14:11
  tippet.
• 14:12
  You
• 14:12
  know,
• 14:12
  there's
• 14:13
  that
• 14:13
  whole
• 14:13
  school
• 14:13
  of
• 14:13
  thought
• 14:13
  with
• 14:14
  the
• 14:14
  mono
• 14:15
  leader,
• 14:16
  or
• 14:18
  I'm
• 14:18
  sure
• 14:18
  there's
• 14:18
  a
• 14:18
  different
• 14:19
  name
• 14:19
  for
• 14:19
  it
• 14:19
  at
• 14:19
  this
• 14:20
  point,
• 14:20
  but.
• 14:21
  But
• 14:21
  basically
• 14:22
  bypassing
• 14:23
  the,
• 14:23
  the
• 14:24
  fly
• 14:24
  line
• 14:24
  itself
• 14:25
  and
• 14:25
  just
• 14:25
  using
• 14:25
  monofilament,
• 14:28
  which
• 14:28
  more
• 14:29
  or
• 14:29
  less
• 14:29
  is
• 14:29
  just
• 14:29
  Euro

  stuff

  a

  flat.
• 15:38
  It's
• 15:38
  the
• 15:39
  right
• 15:39
  time
• 15:39
  of

  year.
• 15:40
  Full
• 15:41
  day
• 15:41

  variety
• 15:45
  of

  bucktail.
• 15:47
  That
• 15:47
  sounds
• 15:47
  horrible
• 15:48
  now.
• 15:49
  It's.
• 15:49
  Yeah,
• 15:50
  it's
• 15:50
  awful.
• 15:50
  And
• 15:51
  I
• 15:51
  put
• 15:51
  very
• 15:51
  little
• 15:52
  work
• 15:52
  into

  both
• 15:53
  products,

  offer
• 15:57
  it.
• 15:57
  There
• 15:57
  you
• 15:58
  go.
• 15:58
  And

• 15:58
  the
• 15:59
  lucky
• 15:59
  winner
• 15:59
  is

  Jared.
• 16:00
  And
• 16:00
  it's

  either,
• 16:01
  it's
• 16:01
  either
• 16:01
  McCabe
• 16:02
  or
• 16:02
  Maccabee.
• 16:03
  So

  I
• 16:03

• 16:03
  wrong
• 16:03
  50%
