0:00.0	Welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast with Tom Rosenbauer, bringing you tips, tricks and techniques to help you get the most from your time on the water.
0:11.5	Here's acclaimed fly fishing author and lifelong fly fishing
0:14.6	enthusiast Tom Rosenbauer.
0:17.0	Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide podcast. As many of you know, the Orvis Fly Fishing app is out there. It's got a ton of valuable
0:26.6	content that you can't find anywhere else, not on the Orvis website or anywhere else
0:31.5	on the web. You can carry it in your pocket. It's got more knots,
0:36.2	no more fishing knots and more advanced fishing knots than any other app you'll see out there.
0:41.2	Lots of cool tips, Field Guide to Flies. There's an update going out that if

1:56.4	12 fish now they were mostly small brook trout the biggest one was about nine and a5 inches I actually measured them. So I landed 12. I rose, I was
2:09.0	fishing dry fly the whole time, 23 fish, so I missed 23 minus 12, which is what 11, I guess if my if my
2:18.0	math is right. I was using a big fly and I was trying to I didn't want to catch the smaller fish but I did
2:23.7	try to strike on all those fish because you can't really tell when they first come
