  days.
• 0:53
  The
• 0:53
  calling
• 0:53
  for
• 0:53
  maybe
• 0:54
  half
• 0:54
  an
• 0:54
  inch,
• 0:54
  maybe
• 0:55
  three
• 0:55
  quarters
• 0:55
  if
• 0:55
  we're
• 0:55
  lucky,
• 0:56
  which
• 0:57
  will
• 0:57
  be
• 0:57
  welcomed
• 0:57
  and
• 0:58
  needed.
• 0:58
  Water
• 0:58
  has
• 0:59
  been
• 0:59
  low
• 0:59
  and
• 1:00
  clear
• 1:01
  past
• 1:01
  few
• 1:01
  weeks.
• 1:01
  Temps
• 1:02
  have
• 1:02
  been
• 1:02
  really
• 1:03
  good,
• 1:03
  though,
• 1:03
  cool
• 1:03
  nights,
• 1:04
  and
• 1:04
  it's
• 1:04
  not
• 1:05
  been
• 1:05
  really
• 1:05
  above
• 1:05
  mid-70s
• 1:06
  for
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  past
• 1:06
  week
• 1:07
  and
• 1:07
  a
• 1:07
  half
• 1:07
  or
• 1:07
  so.
• 1:08
  So
• 1:08
  temps
• 1:09
  haven't
• 1:09
  been
• 1:09
  too
• 1:09
  much
• 1:09
  of
• 1:09
  an
• 1:10
  issue.
• 1:10
  But,
• 1:10
  you
• 1:10
  know,
• 1:10
  water's
• 1:11
  low,
• 1:11
  water's
• 1:11
  clear.
• 1:12
  It's
• 1:12
  definitely
• 1:12
  tough,
• 1:13
  technical
• 1:13
  fishing.
• 1:14
  Dry
• 1:15
  dropper
• 1:15
  has
• 1:15
  been
• 1:15
  working
• 1:16
  great
• 1:16
  with
• 1:16
  like
• 1:16
  a
• 1:16
  small
• 1:17
  chubby
• 1:17
  or
• 1:17
  a
• 1:17
  hopper,
• 1:18
  a
• 1:18
  little
• 1:18
  ant
• 1:18
  off
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  back,
• 1:20
  small
• 1:20
  nymphs.
• 1:21
  We're
• 1:22
  seeing
• 1:22
  some
• 1:22
  pretty
• 1:22
  good
• 1:22
  catus
• 1:23
  in
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  evening,
• 1:23
  so
• 1:24
  dry
• 1:24
  fly
• 1:24
  action
• 1:24
  in
• 1:24
  the
• 1:25
  evenings
• 1:25
  has
• 1:25
  been,
• 1:25
  you
• 1:26
  know,
• 1:26
  sporadic,
• 1:27
  but
• 1:27
  not
• 1:28
  bad.
• 1:29
  Tricos
• 1:29
  have
• 1:30
  been
• 1:30
  okay
• 1:30
  still
• 1:30
  in
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  mornings,
• 1:31
  they're
• 1:31
  definitely
• 1:32
  winding
• 1:32
  down.
• 1:32
  But
• 1:33
  some
• 1:33
  mornings
• 1:33
  are
• 1:33
  better
• 1:33
  than
• 1:33
  others
• 1:34
  as
• 1:34
  little
• 1:34
  quills
• 1:35
  around,
• 1:35
  you
• 1:36
  know,
• 1:36
  you
• 1:36
  got
• 1:36
  to
• 1:36
  work
• 1:36
  for
• 1:36
  the
• 1:37
  fish
• 1:37
  this
• 1:37
  time
• 1:37
  of
• 1:37
  year.
• 1:37
  You
• 1:38
  know,
• 1:38
  use
• 1:38
  those
• 1:38
  long
• 1:38
  leaders,
• 1:39
  stealthy
• 1:39
  approaches.
• 1:40
  You
• 1:40
  know,
• 1:40
  there's
• 1:40
  plenty
• 1:41
  of
• 1:41
  fish
• 1:41
  to
• 1:41
  be
• 1:41
  had.
• 1:41
  But
• 1:42
  now
• 1:42
  is
• 1:42
  not
• 1:43
  the
• 1:43
  time
• 1:43
  of
• 1:43
  year
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  be
• 1:43
  dragging
• 1:44
  nymphs
• 1:44
  along
• 1:44
  the
• 1:45
  bottom.
• 1:45
  Definitely
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  lot
• 1:45
  of
• 1:46
  grass.
• 1:46
  We
• 1:46

• 1:48
  that
• 1:48
  out.
• 1:48
  But
• 1:49
  fishing's
• 1:49
  been
• 1:50
  steady.
• 1:50
  If

• 1:51
  how
• 1:51

  Very,
