So, Michael, what's a good rig to start with when I get to where I'm going? Just a general rig in the Rocky Mountain West.

Well, David, it's a bit of a loaded question, but I think we can dial it in based on, you know, a number of different things.

Specifically, kind of you mentioned what time of year it is, where are you going? I think one thing to look at in a normal year is, you know, what's the river doing? And that's a pretty easy thing you can find out before you leave home and figure out if the water's high, you know, if we're in runoff or whatever.

post runoff or if you're in kind of middle of summer conditions where we're kind of at that normal water level or if we're late summer, maybe fall, lower level, lower water levels.

And I think that's a good place to start.

And maybe that's that's kind of how we go about breaking that down.

And then also, we can dive in even deeper on what you want to fish.

yeah yeah i do too so again let's get a little how do you approach the medium-sized rivers is there something different you do there and let's let's still talk to the weighty angler there
