00:00:03,785 --> 00:00:06,625
Marvin:
Hey folks, it's Marvin Cash, the host of the Articulate Fly,

2
00:00:06,745 --> 00:00:08,825
Marvin:
and we're back with another Roosh Report with the man himself,

3
00:00:09,225 --> 00:00:10,785
Marvin:
Brendan Roosh. Brendan, how are you?

4
00:00:12,365 --> 00:00:14,005
Brendan :
Doing all right, Marvin. How are you doing?

5
00:00:14,225 --> 00:00:18,305
Marvin:
Just trying to stay out of trouble. Was goofing off a little bit last week on

6
00:00:18,305 --> 00:00:19,625
Marvin:
the water, so I've been digging out today.

7
00:00:21,505 --> 00:00:27,445
Brendan :
Nice. Yeah, same here. I haven't spent the last two weeks on the home waters,

8
00:00:27,525 --> 00:00:29,785
Brendan :
but luckily we missed some rain

9
00:00:30,005 --> 00:00:36,125
Brendan :
and then we got pounded with rain um yeah i was up in canada having some fun

10
00:00:36,125 --> 00:00:40,825
Brendan :
catching some largemouths and smallmouths a little bit of ditch pickle pike

11
00:00:40,825 --> 00:00:44,025
Brendan :
but it was a great time up there yeah.

12
00:00:44,025 --> 00:00:46,825
Marvin:
I was gonna say if you picked a time to go out of town during guide season you

13
00:00:46,825 --> 00:00:50,945
Marvin:
probably hit it just about right because i would imagine uh into last week for

14
00:00:50,945 --> 00:00:52,665
Marvin:
sure was a complete washout right right?

15
00:00:54,325 --> 00:01:00,365
Brendan :
Yeah, it went up. Uh, everything went up pretty high. Um, still very off color

16
00:01:00,365 --> 00:01:01,965
Brendan :
and high right now. And, uh,

17
00:01:04,365 --> 00:01:08,865
Brendan :
push back the trips for this week. I'll be doing a, or helping out at a cleanup

18
00:01:08,865 --> 00:01:11,905
Brendan :
on the Delaware with the Delaware river club and house fly fishing.

19
00:01:12,305 --> 00:01:15,425
Brendan :
Um, that's going to be this Friday, Saturday.

20
00:01:16,685 --> 00:01:22,325
Brendan :
And it looks like we're getting some more rain over the weekend in the south central PA area.

21
00:01:22,565 --> 00:01:25,005
Brendan :
So hopefully it won't be unfishable next week.

22
00:01:25,545 --> 00:01:27,985
Marvin:
Yeah, get all the dumpsters and trees out of the river, right?

23
00:01:30,185 --> 00:01:36,745
Brendan :
Yeah. Yeah, we'll get all the fresh tires that were rolled in near Hancock or

24
00:01:36,745 --> 00:01:38,685
Brendan :
whatever deposit up in New York.

25
00:01:39,665 --> 00:01:43,985
Marvin:
Yeah, something to look forward to. And so if folks wanted to get a little bit

26
00:01:43,985 --> 00:01:46,205
Marvin:
more information on the stream cleanup, where should they go?

27
00:01:47,805 --> 00:01:53,405
Brendan :
Um house fly fishing on instagram or the delaware river club on instagram got.

28
00:01:53,405 --> 00:01:57,905
Marvin:
It and so we figured since you've uh you've been out of the country uh fishing

29
00:01:57,905 --> 00:02:01,285
Marvin:
that you know maybe a great thing to talk about for folks is you know what to

30
00:02:01,285 --> 00:02:05,465
Marvin:
expect you know as the water drops and becomes fishable again like how are the

31
00:02:05,465 --> 00:02:08,345
Marvin:
fish going to behave you know i assume they're going to come off structure a

32
00:02:08,345 --> 00:02:11,485
Marvin:
little bit but you know why don't you share your thoughts on that with our folks.

33
00:02:13,005 --> 00:02:16,085
Brendan :
So i think what we're going to be experiencing

34
00:02:16,085 --> 00:02:18,825
Brendan :
is a lot of

35
00:02:18,825 --> 00:02:21,745
Brendan :
grass pretty much distributed throughout

36
00:02:21,745 --> 00:02:27,545
Brendan :
the whole water column uh for a period of time that like i don't know how many

37
00:02:27,545 --> 00:02:34,025
Brendan :
days it's going to last but um yeah you're going to be dealing with grass on

38
00:02:34,025 --> 00:02:40,765
Brendan :
the banks for sure and And then it kind of stacks up and starts to die off.

39
00:02:40,925 --> 00:02:45,245
Brendan :
And this is just from big blowouts this time of year in the past.

40
00:02:47,925 --> 00:02:49,725
Brendan :
So I think, yeah, I mean, fishing...

41
00:02:51,835 --> 00:02:55,715
Brendan :
The usual stuff that I talk about, like that first drop, second drop, in the middle.

42
00:02:57,915 --> 00:03:02,075
Brendan :
Just if there's grass on top, not fishing topwater, trying to get down below

43
00:03:02,075 --> 00:03:04,955
Brendan :
the grass, maybe dead drifting with some twitches with a crayfish.

44
00:03:05,615 --> 00:03:09,595
Brendan :
Or a little bit bigger baitfish pattern if the water's still off color.

45
00:03:11,495 --> 00:03:14,695
Marvin:
Got it. And then, of course, I guess maybe opt to fish more towards the middle

46
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:16,695
Marvin:
of the river if there's a bunch of junk on the edges, right?

47
00:03:18,495 --> 00:03:24,175
Brendan :
Yeah. Either you know or you find where the first and second drop are or fish

48
00:03:24,175 --> 00:03:29,355
Brendan :
bottom structure off the banks.

49
00:03:29,995 --> 00:03:34,715
Brendan :
I'm just picturing a few years ago, there was just so much grass stacked up

50
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:37,735
Brendan :
on the banks from a big storm like we just had this time of year.

51
00:03:37,895 --> 00:03:39,955
Brendan :
It's just like, I don't know.

52
00:03:40,375 --> 00:03:44,755
Brendan :
Someone was telling me that when the grass gets stacked up like that,

53
00:03:44,815 --> 00:03:47,875
Brendan :
it just depletes oxygen in those areas.

54
00:03:50,195 --> 00:03:53,435
Brendan :
Um, which makes sense, but I don't know.

55
00:03:54,375 --> 00:03:59,855
Marvin:
Interesting. So anything in terms of like changes in presentation or fly color,

56
00:03:59,855 --> 00:04:03,095
Marvin:
if you're fishing subsurface, I mean, rattles, anything like that you want to share folks?

57
00:04:04,839 --> 00:04:07,759
Brendan :
Yeah, for stained water, you're fishing that drop.

58
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:15,379
Brendan :
I mean, I'd be fishing black for sure, black and chartreuse,

59
00:04:15,579 --> 00:04:18,959
Brendan :
that yellow, pink, and orange mixture.

60
00:04:20,139 --> 00:04:27,119
Brendan :
That blend seems to work pretty well in that brownish-green water on the greener side of things.

61
00:04:28,719 --> 00:04:33,759
Brendan :
Just things that are going to be different from the grass that's floating down

62
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:37,839
Brendan :
or in the fall you know sometimes you get leaves uh tons of leaves in the system

63
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:47,499
Brendan :
so i think just trying to stand out while still imitating something is uh that's my advice there gotcha.

64
00:04:47,499 --> 00:04:51,759
Marvin:
And uh rattles or no rattles uh corkscrew tails on flies anything like that.

65
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:59,739
Brendan :
Yeah i'm a fan of a rattle um they They often break, but it always gives me

66
00:04:59,739 --> 00:05:02,719
Brendan :
some confidence when a fly has one, especially in dirty conditions.

67
00:05:03,019 --> 00:05:07,879
Marvin:
Yeah, there you go. And we have only non-serious questions this time,

68
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:13,459
Marvin:
which kind of works out since you haven't been on the water recently.

69
00:05:13,539 --> 00:05:17,819
Marvin:
But I got a question from Sean, and he wants to know if you know what the term yardie means.

70
00:05:19,679 --> 00:05:22,439
Brendan :
Yardie. uh yardie is something

71
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:25,419
Brendan :
you say to your friends uh after you say something

72
00:05:25,419 --> 00:05:35,559
Brendan :
that they should already know got it um so yeah i mean you know say what fly

73
00:05:35,559 --> 00:05:38,759
Brendan :
are you gonna fish today sean you're gonna fish a nymph and he's gonna say yardie

74
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:43,219
Brendan :
because sean that's all he does is he nymphs so got.

75
00:05:43,219 --> 00:05:45,539
Marvin:
It i didn't even have to ask you to use it in a sentence for me.

76
00:05:45,539 --> 00:05:48,339
Brendan :
Oh yeah i got you yeah.

77
00:05:48,339 --> 00:05:50,259
Marvin:
So i think attack on that he had

78
00:05:50,259 --> 00:05:54,959
Marvin:
he had was uh something about uh are you familiar with capri sun emojis.

79
00:05:57,065 --> 00:06:00,485
Brendan :
Yes, so that's a juice box.

80
00:06:00,725 --> 00:06:07,185
Brendan :
And then if you stack at least two juice boxes together in a comment or a text,

81
00:06:07,265 --> 00:06:10,225
Brendan :
then that means that it's juiced. And juice is a good thing.

82
00:06:10,585 --> 00:06:14,385
Marvin:
Gotcha. What if you had a juice box, an eggplant in a juice box?

83
00:06:17,665 --> 00:06:20,385
Brendan :
That's bordering on dangerous territory. I'm going to leave that one alone.

84
00:06:20,605 --> 00:06:21,085
Marvin:
There you go.

85
00:06:24,065 --> 00:06:26,845
Marvin:
