HOUR 1: Utah Mammoth insider Cole Bagley talks draft prospects and Oilers OT win over Panthers | …
the noon hour is here check it out and you’re locked on to Utah’s highest rated most listened to sports radio station it’s my station it’s my station this is Hance Olsson and Scotty G on 975 the KSL Sports Zone hey welcome in 975 the KSL Sports Zone hans Olsson Scott Gerard hope you are all well let’s kick it off on a Friday our guy is off today uh he’ll be back with you coming up on Monday so uh we got a busy show for you though and you know the drill when hands is out we we load up anybody whoever it takes we will call you that’s not true go ahead only only the best of guests fact are are the ones that we bring in when hands is out like our NHL and Utah Mammoth insider Cole Bagley cole how are you good how are you good man you fired up you ready to go how you doing yeah no it’s uh it’s been an exciting month uh it’s been a lot of fun to kind of dive into these NHL draft prospects and uh I’ve chatted with a few of them over the last couple days uh we talked to Brady Martin um on our new Utah hockey podcast and then uh I chatted with Porter Marone i’ll be doing a story on him so yeah I’ve just uh kind of jumped jumped completely in and while I may act like I know what I’m talking about there’s probably a good chance that I don’t because it’s all it’s lying it’s lying season right well yeah there’s no doubt so are you buying the smoke on Brady Martin then uh I’m I’m a little hesitant on it um you know this is a guy that I believe is a top 10 selection um but I think he more so is going to go somewhere between six and eight six and nine um so yeah I think that Utah um likes Brady Martin um you know I think he is definitely a prospect that um kind of fits the mold of what Bill Armstrong is looking for but is he quite good enough to be selected forth overall um you know time will tell if if Utah wants to use that pick there so um I would say you know I think the interest is authentic but do they pick him i’m not sure we’ll see what uh you know we were talking to Jay Stevens a little bit about it yesterday uh and I know you’ve mentioned this as well um just a while ago he was considered maybe a late first early second pick and now he’s skyrocketing up even if he does go in the you know late single digits or early teens that’s still a monumental improvement from where his early projections were so how uh what what’s the cause for that rise for him yeah I think it’s just his his style of play um you know he’s a guy that uh gives you 110% uh on both ends of the ice he plays a very um attractive game um that you know is is uh helping teams win uh you know championships in the NHL right now i mean he’s there’s been some comparisons to Sam Bennett and you know uh Sam Bennett is is currently I believe leading the the Stanley Cup playoffs in goals and um just just that pest um style of hockey where uh you know he’s going to finish his checks not only finish them but they’re going to you know they’re going to they’re going to leave a bite mark uh you know they’re going to pack a punch and um he’s also a very good goal scorer and I think a reason that a lot of teams may have overlooked him is he was not playing for the best junior team and his linemates really weren’t that good uh a lot of their success came because of Brady Martin and then he also had uh some very good stints with team Canada uh the World Juniors and whatnot so um you know just a very likable kid um hard you know hard worker he comes from uh a family farm you know before we talked to him doing his chores he he told us he was moving cattle up to his grandpa’s house and all that kind of stuff so I think it’s just a lot of things uh whether it’s his game his shot or his personality i think a lot of people have just been impressed with um you know what he’s been able to do over the last couple months are there any players that you look at at that number four that could have uh somewhat of an immediate impact on the team next year i don’t think so um as good as the number four pick uh is likely going to be um you know first and foremost it’s very rare that even you know the second or third overall pick are going to make an NHL roster it’s very dependent on where that team is so you know for teams like Chicago and and uh um San Jose you know they those prospects that whoever they take you know at two and three those guys are probably going to see some time in the NHL because those teams are not very good and they need to develop those prospects in that way whereas you know when you look at a team like Utah they’re just overflowing with prospects uh from TJ Aima to Coan to Maverick Lamru now they’ve signed Dimmitri Simichev and Denil Boot um you know it’s it’s just not a team where that needs this kid you know who that whoever this kid is to help contribute right away um which I think is um a positive you know that kid can go back to his junior team or his college team develop um and then by the time that maybe he’s ready maybe Utah is entered that championship window and they add even more youth to kind of bolster their their young roster or or uh you trade that four pick for a player that you is a veteran and can help you uh is that on the table at all for this team i think a trade is always on the table uh especially when it comes to Bill Armstrong you know he’s a guy that is willing to listen um to any conversations you know he’s willing to pick up the phone and and uh you know discuss the the potential of trading it now what I have been told is it would take a Sergeev type deal um to move off of that pick so you know a a situation where you know you’re moving a young guy that has potential but yeah like you said you’re going to get a player that can help you right away um does that player exist um in the trade market right now not sure you know a lot of people have a lot of the fans have said “We’ll go and get Tae Thompson from Buffalo.” That’s probably unlikely um you know as as bad of an of an organization as Buffalo is as as many boneheaded moves as they’ve made I really don’t think that the fourth overall pick is going to get you a guy like Ta Thompson and you know you also have to consider what other pieces can Utah um you know add to the fourth overall pick outside of maybe some of those younger prospects you know there’s not a lot of guys on this team that they’re a looking to trade or b have the ability you know to to really uh gain interest with you know I I know that they’re trying to trade Matias Machelli but that guy did not exactly have the best season to where teams are you know gonna jump on the phone and are dying to get him so um yes the trade is definitely on the table you can never uh you know look you know uh shy away from that especially when you’re talking about Bill Armstrong but it would take a sergev type deal and um you know how often is this team going to select in the top five moving forward if if things go the way that they’re expecting so ultimately I expect the pick to be made but you know you can always expect the unexpected to happen on draft day um just going back to last year’s draft how did the year go i know there were injuries and other things involved but uh is Tee on the uh on the trajectory that they would like him at at this point yeah for sure i mean you know he had uh he had an injury and had to have hip surgery which you know at 18 years old that’s yeah that’s not great that’s really not ideal situation to be in uh but I know that they are expecting him to be healthy um here in the coming months and uh you know both him and Kobo Dwan who they selected last year you know they’re not going to put any sort of ceiling on these guys you know they’re not going to bring them into these development camps to these training camps and expect them to either make the team or not make the team and that’s that’s good for the player that means that the player can come in um you know and give it their best shot and maybe you know maybe a Ga or Bodwin uh surprises the coaching staff and they go you know what we got to have this guy on our team um now I I do not anticipate that happening i think that it would be good for again to go back to the juniors have a full season um you know and really light it up from an offensive standpoint uh like he was on track to do before he got injured as for Bodwin uh I think he was kind of a surprise um not only the fact that Utah traded up to go and draft him last year but then I think he even surprised management as far as how well he compete competed in training camp how well he performed in the preseason um and so you know just guys to to to keep an eye on as we uh you know get closer to development camp and and the rookie camp and then eventually training camp can they make the roster you know don’t ever say no uh with guys like that do I expect it probably not but uh you know there’s always generally one guy that surprises you and we’ll see what these young guys can do cole Bagley NHL and Utah Mammoth Insider right here on 975 the KSL Sports Zone for KSL Sports.com all right so let’s get to the action last night uh it was 3 nothing after one and it really felt like and I tweeted out hey it looks like Edmonton’s lost the will to live boy a lot of people sunk their teeth into that when that thing went final um and so it looked like it was just done uh and the Panthers were on their way to going up 3-1 in route to what should be another Stanley Cup and then the Oilers rip off three of their own in the second uh it goes to OT and again it’s right there and just like that uh you know it you have those shots and you go off the top post and and uh then on the other end uh the Oilers are able to sink theirs and and they go up or they get the win and now we’re tied up at two apiece i mean I’m learning this sport Cole i know you’ve been around this thing your whole life but I can’t imagine a much better game than what we saw last night yeah i mean it is the two best teams in the world going head-to-head and I think you know what’s important to realize is um while there’s not a lot of space between them uh that’s because they play very different styles of hockey uh with Edmonton it’s very much a finesse game it’s it’s very offensive driven um you know and there’s really two guys steering the ship there with with Conor McDavid and Leon Dryidle whereas Florida it’s it’s definitely more of a team effort um they play bully style hockey in your face um you know they finish every single check they they they poke you with their stick they you know they nudge you in the crease and you know I mean there’s even times where guys are are going for a line change and Matthew Kachchuck will say something to to an Oiler next to him or he’ll even give him a little push so um it’s it’s two different styles uh and I think we’ve really just seen how those styles can work the first two games took overtime uh the second was uh you know Florida was able to to fully uh bully uh the Oilers into submission and and Edmonton fed into that then last night you saw just how quickly Edmonton can flip a game on its head you know they’re just so talented offensively uh no lead is safe especially not a three nothing lead as as uh we all you know saw last night um those guys just have an extra gear that they can um draw from and and utilize their skills and and put points on the board really quickly and and that’s what we saw so this is a phenomenal Stanley Cup final honestly I think it might be the best Stanley Cup final that we’ve seen in the last 10 or 20 years it’s so even but what’s so fun about it is these two teams just play so differently so what’s the equivalent you’re a football guy too what’s the equivalent of giving up a three nothing lead is that like a 21 nothing like what would you what would you call that in football yeah I mean two three touchdowns two three possessions right um that’s that’s probably what I would do that’s probably what I would compare it to but in hockey you know it’s different right like you you’re always going you’re always playing offense and defense where in football you got to get the ball back um so yeah maybe maybe uh two possessions uh would be more the equivalent there uh but you know nonetheless still impressive i mean it wasn’t just you that was you know tweeting out that hey this this game is over this you know it’s one-sided Florida’s going back to back uh there were national insiders that were you know making those types of of claims and saying that kind of stuff but I think you just got to remember this is an Oilers team that came back from down three nothing in the Stanley Cup final a year ago now they didn’t complete the comeback fully but they were very very close and you can never ever count out Conor McDavid that’s just what we’re what we’re learning right now yeah there’s no doubt i guess the thing that had me sucked in on it a little bit is the fact that they mentally felt like they melted down in game three and then you add that onto the um you know the uh the first frame in which they’re down three nothing and it just felt like okay mentally they may just be broken that’s why I tweeted out I I just like I don’t know how I don’t know how you come back from game three and the start of game four but uh they did and did in a big way and and got that win but how how when that thing uh when Bennett’s shot just hits that top iron uh I mean at that point if you’re in Edmonton do you feel like you’re playing with house money when you don’t give up that goal yeah the hockey gods are definitely shining on you in in that moment and I think even Dry Sidle’s goal uh took a little bit of luck uh I mean it was just I believe he he just had one hand on his stick i think he was more just trying to get a puck on net and you know it took uh Bob by surprise there between the pipes and ended up in the back of the net and those are those are dirty greasy goals and just take those all day but uh yeah no it’s it’s very much a game of inches like everything else but uh in a little bit of a different way and you know a pipe is truly a goalender’s best friend and I’m sure that Edmonton’s goalender was was uh you know given a lot of love to his to his his crossbar after that one all right let’s switch back to the Utah Mammoth a little bit as they get set for the off season and trades acquisitions things along those lines i think for a moment we thought hey a guy like Sam Bennett might be available but I think the way he’s played and his commitment to that program it sounds like he’s probably going to stay put and Florida has got the means to keep him in play there and he wants to stay so uh what what’s the aggression level and what might be available for Utah in the offseason in terms of trades or free agent acquisitions yeah so what I do know is Utah does not want to be a team that’s uh overpaying for a player um they’ve got a very good core they’ve got a very uh you know they’ve got a lot of promising young players they have a loaded pipeline of talent and so I think the worst thing you could do is try to put you know try to rush things and try to put yourself over the top by by overspending and so you know they’re gonna have to be um you know very strategic in how they approach these free agents you know guys like Mitch Martner or Sam Bennett Brock Bozer Nicola Ellers because you know they can be a part of any any pretty much any conversation in free agency with the amount of cap space that they do have but there’s a limit right and you know like I said Utah doesn’t want to be the team that overpays they don’t want to repeat what the Nashville Predators did last last offseason where hey on paper this looks really good in the summer and then they get to the winter and they’re playing games and it just does not work so you know they’re going to be careful but they can offer you know not only can they you know be close in conversations in terms of you know salaries but they also have a lot going for themselves you know Utah is is you know being watched by you know the entire hockey world after what they were able to pull off you know Ryan and Ashley Smith have established themselves as one of the best ownership groups in the National Hockey League you know they’re getting renovations to Delta Center they’re getting a world-class facility uh practice facility and that’s one that you know a maybe a lot of people are overlooking maybe casual fans like this is going to be a top five top three facility in the NHL and there’s a lot of teams that aren’t able to offer that um you know when they’re talking to these free agents because the players are spending more time at that facility than anywhere else um so that’s something to consider and then the potential of this team you know they’re not far away you know can they go to one of these players and say “Look we can offer you these things and then you can come in and be one of the top players for an up andcoming team that hopefully a championship window is going to open over the next couple of years.” So what you know I do think they’re going to try to go after some of these top names uh I think they would not be doing their jobs right if they weren’t trying to enter the conversation of Mitch Mner or Sam Bennett um you know the challenge with Mitch Mner is can they can they be you know enough a part of the conversation in terms of money you know there’s teams like Anaheim that are already talking about being willing to you know offer him a blank check whatever he wants to bring him in um in terms of Sam Bennett can you really talk a guy out of you know a team that has gone to three straight cups could go to I don’t know one two three more in the future and you know are you going to talk him out of you know living in in Southern Florida right you know those are the types of things that you got to be aware of so I I would maybe more so look at guys like Brock Bozer you know Nicola Ellers Aaron Ecklad um you know there’s been a little bit of talk that you know maybe Brad Marshand could be a name to watch not a lot of connections to Utah but it’s picking up a little bit of steam so we’ll see uh you know who they’re able to to draw some interest from but you know rest assured that you know Utah’s front office is looking to to make a splash but it has to make sense you know they don’t want to skip any steps well hey Cole we appreciate your time thanks for hanging out with us man enjoy the rest

up here in just a moment as uh my goodness um yeah let’s just say today took a chunk out of a lot of golfers uh and unless your name was Sam Burns who uh tore up shot a 65 but other than that boy a lot of rough scores out there um you go down the list you see Scotty Sheffller was plus one on the day today he’s plus four for the tournament how about John Rom who was plus five started the day at one under he’s at plus five um it was a um yeah it was a blood bath for some of these guys out there justin Spe was plus five on the day today um it got after some dudes there’s there’s no doubt and uh we’ll get an update from Bob coming up here in a bit and get his thoughts as to what happened to a lot of these guys zack Blair was plus four on the uh through six so he’s only through six holes and he’s already four over par on the day so uh yeah one of those days for sure and and Bob had been telling you for a long time that this thing was going to heat up and it was going to get ugly for some guys and uh yeah let’s just say Oakmont’s starting to sink their teeth into some people right now um and so we’ll hear from Bob get his thoughts as to what’s going on in day two of the uh US Open right here on 975D KSL Sports Zone uh coming up a little bit later on in the program um Craig Bowlerjack the great Craig Bowlerjack is going to join us coming up at one o’clock we’ll have an hour with him and we’ll go over all things uh Utah Jazz draft you name it uh we’ll have it all with Craig Bowlerjack and break down even get maybe some college thoughts with him as to what’s going on in the world of college athletics and how uh how cranky it’s making him because let’s be honest it’s a little surprising the kind of world we’re in and then at two o’clock if you m if you missed it yesterday the new coach or not new coach the secondyear coach at BYU uh Kevin Young’s going to join us coming up at 2:05 we’ll revisit that conversation as well all right joining us now it’s time to catch up with Bob Casper this US Open update is brought to you by Mountainland Supply Zans Bank Black Desert Resort Hoops Vision and Sig Freed and Jensen and now Real Golf Radio’s Bob Casper well Bob you said that this tournament was going to be a bit of a bloodbath and yesterday the conditions were such that guys were able to have some good scores today though woo looks like uh Oakmont took a bite out of some guys oh man it is it is uh cutting them off at the knees that’s what it’s doing it’s pretty crazy it’s pretty crazy to see what uh what’s happening with them um because it’s just it’s it’s so critical that you have to hit good shots off the TE’s and get yourself in the fairway and if you don’t it’s you’re you’re looking bogey every time at least so um and then they’ve got the flags in some spots that are pretty pretty dicey and um because of that uh guys are three putting and and that kind of thing so it’s uh yeah it’s becoming very very difficult but we do we are under a weather watch right now for some electrical storms um you know if that transpires they will blow sirens and guys will have to get off the course and all the patrons or all the the fans that are here and everything will have to leave the property um and then uh we’re looking for some weather the next two days as well so it’s uh going to be interesting to see how things finish out uh one guy who had himself quite the day uh Sam Burns who’s five under on the day he started at plus two uh now he’s three under par uh the only guy that really put up a significant scoreer uh what was he able to do out there well I think uh a lot of it is he just he just gave himself opportunities um he took advantage of the ones on the par five so we got probably got a couple there and then um had a had a few close shots but he made some good putts for pars too including one on the the last hole which is his ninth hole um and or n which was the ninth hole his 18th hole um he had driven it in the ditch left and took a drop hit it on the green and made about a 20 25 footer up over this knob and down the other side and breaking left to right really hard and and made the putt and conserved the par so um yeah it’s uh he made some he made some really good putts and he is known for being a great putter and he just came off a loss last week in Canada where he lost to Ryan Fox in a playoff well I’m just looking at some of the scores today you got John Rammy was five over spe was five over on the day today um you know you look at uh some of the other guys there’s plus fours all over the place plus fives i mean it it’s just um Yeah this is one of those days where everybody looks at each other like “Okay it’s going to humble us so let’s buckle up.” Yeah um we were talking to Tony after his round Tony P now and he said you know most of the time a 3% grade or a 3% slope is about the most that they will they will give you for a pin for a flag placement where where they’re going to cut a cup that’s that’s the most slope they’ll give you he said on his final hole he had to make par probably on his final hole to make the cut he felt at the time but it looks like it’s going to be another shot higher but he was he had a five-footer on the final hole and had to play a foot of breaking it because it it uh moved that much right to left so it’s Yeah it’s you know and then you get some of those flags where it just feels like you can’t stop the ball close to the hole if it gets beyond the hole at all it just rolls away you know like five or 10 feet and some roll away even further than that you know the interesting thing and you talk about Tony he was six over yesterday he goes even par today which considering some of the scores is quite the uh quite the accomplishment but you’re right projected cut right now is plus five he stands outside of that what’s the chances that thing moves down a little bit and he’s able to play tomorrow if you look on the USGA website um right now it they have their projected cut at plus seven oh okay um and and so I think it’s going to be probably around plus seven it was huge for him to make that putt to get in at plus six because there’s only got there’s only I think there’s only five or six guys ahead of him before it moves to the the the plus sixes but um you know Tony Tony was three under par for the day with four holes to play and he bogeied six seven and eight and then he made that great par on the last hole to uh to ensure getting in and that he’d have a time on the weekend but for the most of part played some really really good golf today and uh and yes he shot even par and that that’s a great score a great score well that’s what I get for using ESPN instead of the USGAA website thanks thanks a lot worldwide leader hey um John Rom was at plus five uh but I’m looking at Scotty Sheffller he’s a he you know he had a rough day yesterday was plus one today he’s plus four when you’re looking at that that you know essentially that keeps him about eight shots off the lead but considering how things can fall apart for somebody is that out of the realm of possibility or could guys come back a bit where he might be able to get into play well okay so so he currently right now three in the par is leading sam Burns and JJ Spawner are at three in par so he’s seven shots back johnny Miller came from six shots back in the final round to win here he shot 63 which is the lowest championship round here and the lowest major championship round in golf back in 73 and and he did it because in a case in part point because there was moisture in the golf course um and we’re expecting moisture on the weekend so there can be some guys that make a run and and I don’t think five or six shots is out of the realm of possibility of coming back from now the good thing for Scotty Sheffler is he’s got another 36 holes to go and so if he can you know if he can somehow shoot a couple underpar in his um in his next round he’ll get get it to two over or maybe one over um then he’s got a chance a fighting chance to get back into it but it’s not it’s not it’s not going to be very far under par that uh that it’s going to win the golf tournament and knowing that he shot one over today he shot three over yesterday um yeah he’s he’s still he’s still fighting he’s still in the mix well and that’s the thing you know you look at and no disrespect to these guys but a little bit of disrespect to these guys you know Spawn and Burns and you know Thristen Lawrence and Ben Griffin aren’t necessarily household names and so I think a lot of people just assume they’re going to come back down to earth a little bit like you and BT especially BT always mentions that some of these guys really have a hard time holding onto that top of that leaderboard uh so you assume there’s probably going to be some regression there where some of these guys that are just hanging in there have a chance to make their run yeah JJ Spawn you know he played he played well earlier in the year he got in the playoff with Rory Maroy players championship and lost in that playoff um he missed a putt from about 35 ft left it like two inches short right in the center of the hole um that got him in the playoff and then Rory beat him in that aggregate three-hole playoff um Sam Burns is a multiple winner on tour he’s yet to win a major championship but he’s played on President’s Cups and Ryder Cups he’s really really good friends with with Scotty Sheffer and plays a lot of golf with him so Sam Burns um would be a guy that could stick his nose in the middle of this now as far as Lawrence is concerned don’t know much about him uh he’s won over in Europe he’s from South Africa he’s a good player but it will remain be seen what what he does over the next 54 holes ben Griffin has won twice this year and um and he’s really really played well over the last month month and a half so um he’s just kind of riding riding that and then Victor Hoblin he’s won a USGA um uh he’s won an amateur championship and uh he’s won big events played multiple REDRE cups that kind of thing so he’s not very far back he’s what at two under par so So basically you know effectively at the end of the day 300 under par is going to be leading i don’t think JJ Spawn’s going to take it any any lower um and uh and if he does if he does all the all the more power to him but I’ll tell you what it’s it’s going to continue to get tough and as we’ve seen guys have gone out and got a whole bunch of uh have got under par through about you know their first nine holes and stuff and then they just they back up they back up quick uh what do you got on the show tomorrow busy show out there at Oakmont I’m sure yeah we uh we talked with Zack uh Blair yesterday um after his round uh we talked with Tony after his round yesterday and today um also we have the Caddy and uh we’ll see if we can round up one of the USGA people or another one of the sports writers here so it should be a great show and we we’ll have a great time with it how’s Zach holding up i know yesterday didn’t go the way he wanted to and the early part of this round hasn’t gone well where’s he at mentally well you know it’s it’s tough it’s like we’ve talked about it is just really tough and I and you know he shot four over yesterday he was a little upset with what happened um because he felt he played a lot better um and uh where’s he at right now uh he was I think he was four over through five or six or something like that yeah yeah say Stan he’s he’s he’s on a struggle and once you start getting going that direction um it’s it’s just hard it’s really hard to turn it around and start bringing it back bringing it back hey uh at what point do we start keeping a closer eye on Charlie Woods because didn’t he won some amateur tournament last week didn’t he or a couple weeks ago he did he won a big amateur tournament and uh it was an AJA event and um you know you It it it’ll take him a little while and it will take him more time uh winning golf tournaments i mean by the time that Tiger was Charlie’s age he’d probably won over a hundred junior and am golf tournaments you know he won the he won he three years in a row he won the US Junior and then he won the US Amter three years in a row he’s won the US Open a couple of times um yeah it’s you just you got to get used to it you got to get used to sticking your nose in it you got to get used to winning and uh and that was his first big one so kudos for him fun to fun to watch how uh they interact together and how how much uh dad is proud of his son oh yeah absolutely well Bob we appreciate it enjoy the rest of the tournament and uh we’ll probably talk to you next week hey Scotty you know what yes sir for those people that for

him with the same love and respect we treat Lloyd when Lloyd’s on vacation with nothing but complete class and uh and and complete uh nothing but love i wish that was so true it’s a little bit of a double standard with you guys i’ve come to realize and it’s okay it’s all right it’s fine i’m okay with it as long if you guys feel good about it which you guys do it’s all right lloyd when you’re gone it’s like you know what lloyd’s out it’s I feel like the three of us are equally dedicated to the show yes i So I just It doesn’t feel like that sometimes when when Yeah hey by the way um my uh my my kid enjoyed chatting with you on the phone today i love that kid i really do in fact you know what i if you if you could probably if you could at least get him taken care of uh get him those uh get him those um waiters get him those waiters and I will and I’ll and I know you will too but I’ll I’ll take him out with uh with Zman i’ll take him out cuz uh I need to take Xavier out to the We’re going to probably go out to the Weaver here very soon oh yeah well I’ll go with you yeah come with us so you can make make fun of my fishing too well I’m not going to make fun of your fishing there’s no such such thing oh there is no no there’s not i know you’re you’re used to the high the the high dollar fishing and that’s being on a boat not all of us have boats until I wreck it until you wreck it but like I’m telling you like you you guys just got to get you get those waiters uh and you are smooth sailing all right so let me ask you this about waiters is this something is this like cuz cuz uh the kid and I we were uh we were shopping for waiters the other day and and for fly fishing gear and we were all blown away by how much stuff is is is if there is something that you should not skimp on is it waiters or will any you know decent pair do uh you know what the thing is the boots if if you get if you get a uh not a good pair of boots I will say cuz I I I I chined out on the on the boots and it was I got blisters on my feet it was it was not good so I went all out actually this time around I on my my my recent waiters I went I went all all out on on those ones so I actually Well not all out all out i just I went with one that aren’t super you know it’s probably you don’t want to use these unless you like in the winter these are more for in the summer and spring um and I Yeah the boots as well so yeah I went I went a little bit nicer boots uh this time around well and that’s the thing like I’m you know I I that’s what I because you can go there and man with and Hans was really upfront about this and saying because we went out with Ryan uh from Rocky Mountain Outfitters who is just phenomenal and I highly suggest you call uh Ryan and uh and get involved in Rocky Mountain Outfitters hand or Lloyd I know you’re going out there too with him here pretty soon uh but call him up uh 801-380697 and spend about four or five hours out on the river and he’ll gear you up he gives you the gear the rods the lures I mean the flies everything i mean you got everything you could possibly need uh with Rocky Mountain Outfitters um and then you get a taste for it and then you’re you come home and you’re like “Okay I want this and this and this.” And then you could go and you could drop like two grand easy on on this stuff did Did you ask him about the waiters i was just curious what he said oh actually I did not i asked him about rods but I did not ask him about waiters i’ll do Yeah I think you would like so originally my first pair was like the like the neoprene ones and those are not great in the summer because they’re fairly warm uh those neoprene ones but they have uh I went this time around I went like the I went with the Sims and I did that on the boots too and And like I said it’s a little bit more but the thing is I I think it’s it’s it’s worth it you get but once you get those that’s all you need then you like I said you can get the the pole you can just And you can just do the lurs like I like to fish with just the lures on the on the river yeah and and you could do that you don’t need that you know with a with a normal rod yeah just with a normal rod you don’t have to have a fly rod right away though the fly rod is fun don’t get me wrong oh man and I haven’t I I I’ve never been skunked with a fly rod really yeah i’ve never been skunked with a fly rod no kidding been skunked with the with with with a regular regular tackle i’ve been skunked but never with a fly rod well I I we’re we’re kind of all in on this i’m not gonna lie um and so some things are gonna happen i’m on uh I’m on the old Facebook marketplace all the time looking for fly rods because that that’s kind of more my budget because I’m not flush with
