0:25.0	no matter where you are.
0:27.0	Discover your next adventure on Fishing Booker. Welcome to Tuesday, Tuesday, today. This is a really good one. So the subject that we're going to go over today is something that every guide has discussions with their clients about.
0:54.0	And I'm going to say that it is the single most important thing
0:59.0	to success in fly fishing.
1:02.0	It's a big statement. I mean we've gone over many different things

2:25.0	Instagram profile and it's, and we caught so many fish today, it's not always
2:29.6	like that. And in fact, there are many days where you may only get really one really good quality
2:39.1	shot, the thing that you've been waiting for. And you want to do everything that you can possibly do to prepare
2:46.0	yourself for that one shot. And you also want to go into the day with a mindset of we may only get one shot. So every single shot that we get, we
