Marvin: Hey, folks, it's Marvin Cash, the host of The Articulate Fly,

Marvin: and we're back with another Roosh Report with Brendan Roosh. Brendan, how are you?

Brendan : Doing well, Marvin. Thanks for having me.

Marvin: Yeah, absolutely. And you're older and wiser. We missed a recording session

Marvin: because it was your 3-0 birthday.

Brendan : Yeah, big 3-0. headed back from Wisconsin and then had some fun.

Brendan : Some good clean living fun.

Marvin: There you go. But you were out fishing with Willen, right?

Brendan : Yeah, I was out fishing with Willen and I got properly hazed for about five days.

Brendan : It was a good time. We were fishing hard.

Brendan : Of course, the rivers blew out the night I got there in typical travel fashion.

Brendan : but luckily he has a sick ranger where you fish the lakes. And I got to see

Brendan : a whole different, a whole different game that I've never even really thought of before. So.

Marvin: Yeah. Very, very cool. Kind of like more like a pike game.

Brendan : Um, just fishing, uh, man-made structure and using electronics to find the structure.

Brendan : And then, you know, ideally you find the fish, but there's a lot of cast and a lot of hoping.

Brendan : And, uh, I did have a sick eat and landed a fish with him.

Marvin: Yeah, very, very cool. And, you know, it's kind of cool. So how does it feel

Marvin: to you if you're the big 3-0, you're like almost a river geyser now?

Brendan : Yeah, it's pretty bizarre thinking about, you know, being 30 and,

Brendan : rowing a boat i don't know it's it's interesting puts things into perspective i guess yeah.

Marvin: And it's it's been you know to say that it's been hot as balls is an understatement uh.

Brendan : We we.

Marvin: Were talking before we started recording that you know luckily maybe in the

Marvin: next two or three days it's gonna you're gonna get maybe 10 degrees or more

Marvin: of relief but uh what are you seeing out there on the water.

Brendan : Um it's been

Brendan : low clear hot um my my

Brendan : water temp at the takeout today was uh like 91 92 degrees um that's probably

Brendan : a little bit warmer than the main current but yeah i mean it was it was warm

Brendan : um getting fish on boogles fish are definitely looking up eating damsel flies Um,

Brendan : so, you know, your Google bug, Mr.

Brendan : Wiggly, um, pretty much anything, anything that floats slaps and is blue right

Brendan : now, getting the job done.

Marvin: And so are you bothering to fish streamers at all or like crayfish or anything

Marvin: like that? Or is it just strictly a topwater bite?

Brendan : Um, it, it depends on what the clients want to do.

Brendan : Um, today they wanted to fish poppers all day, but yeah, I mean,

Brendan : the crayfish bite's always good so uh i

Brendan : had a spin trip the other day and it was

Brendan : it was just bonkers just you know once once the jig hits the bottom it's setting

Brendan : the hook time so uh yeah fish are always going to be on the crayfish and um

Brendan : saw a few fish busting bait today but we were definitely focused on getting

Brendan : some some big top water shippers well.

Marvin: There you go well i have a question for you from Backcast Bow.

Marvin: He wanted to know how many zens makes you zenned up?

Brendan : Zenned up or zenned out?

Marvin: He said zenned up.

Brendan : Zenned up, I mean, two is zenned up for sure.

Marvin: And are those three? Two sixes. I was just getting ready to say threes or sixes.

Brendan : Yeah, I mean, two sixes, that's zinned up for sure, and not somewhere I like to be very often.

Marvin: Gotcha. I would imagine three would put you down like Frazier.

Brendan : Yeah, you know, you get the spins, get real sleepy.

Brendan : It happens sometimes when you're not paying attention. You don't take the used ones out.

Marvin: Sounds like an occupational hazard.

Brendan : Yeah, yeah. I mean, you're sitting on a boat just popping zins.

Brendan : it's it's bound to happen eventually until you start to feel sick and you're

Brendan : like is it the red bull or the zine i don't know but it's probably stopped both yeah.

Marvin: And what's your flavor of choice.

Brendan : Uh cinnazine right now it.

Marvin: Seems to be popular in east tennessee too i don't know what it is everyone's

Marvin: kind of backed off i don't maybe it's a seasonal thing where you know the spearmint

Marvin: and that stuff's a wintertime uh dip substitute.

Brendan : Yeah i don't know i um i always kind of thought I thought cinnamon was good

Brendan : in the wintertime, and then I think Willen actually had it bobbing the hood,

Brendan : and I bummed one off him, and I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot about cinnamon.

Brendan : This is pretty good, and here we are six months later.

Marvin: Yeah, and then this fall, you'll get the pumpkin spice latte version, right?

Brendan : Yeah. Yeah, it's a limited run. I'm looking forward to it.

Marvin: There you go. And Jwin11flies had the serious question this time around.

Marvin: He wanted to know if you ever run a dropper or Mr. Wiggly off a boo-boo bug.

Brendan : I've never really messed with the dropper thing.

Brendan : And it seems like such an obvious thing to do, especially when you're kind of

Brendan : guessing as to what they're eating and you can't really figure out the program.

Brendan : him. Um, so Jack, I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get some girl bugs and, and give that a shot.

Brendan : I think I've, I've tied a couple of rigs up before and then they get tangled immediately.

Brendan : And then I take the dropper off, but the next time I'm out fishing,

Brendan : fishing on my own, I'm going to definitely give that a shot because it's too good not to work.

Marvin: Yeah, there you go. And you know, folks, we love questions on the articulate fly.

Marvin: You can email them to us or DM us on social media, whatever's easiest for you.

Marvin: And if we use your question, I will send you some articulate fly Swag and you'll

Brendan : Yeah. Yeah, I do have a few days available in August. If someone wants to get

Brendan : out and do that, you know, the dead drifting, twitch every 10 seconds,

Brendan : watch a big beak come up, tip a popper.
