| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide podcast with Tom Rosenbauer, |
| 0:07.0 | bringing you tips, tricks and techniques to help you get the most of your time on the water. Here's your host, acclaimed fly fishing |

| 0:21.6 | Hi and welcome to the Orbbus Fly Fishing Guide podcast. This podcast is being |

| 1:38.4 | appreciated. Okay Joe, the first thing I would suggest is that you not use double nymphs |
