S6, Ep 64: Central PA Fishing Report: Summer Temps and Topwater Action


Listen Later

Join host Marvin Cash on The Articulate Fly for the latest Central PA Fishing Report with George Costa from TCO Fly Shop in State College. George shares insights on the upcoming warm weather and its impact on fishing conditions. With temperatures forecasted to reach the nineties, George discusses the importance of monitoring water temperatures and the current state of fishing in the region.

George highlights the end of the post-drake depression and the excellent topwater action with Isos, Cahills and blue-winged olives. He provides tips on targeting sulphur hatches and emphasizes the importance of staying late for the best dry fly opportunities. Nymphing and streamer fishing remain solid, with streamers being more effective during low light hours.

As summer progresses, George suggests shifting focus to other species like smallmouth bass, carp and panfish. He offers practical advice on fishing for smallmouth with poppers and streamers, emphasizing the need to vary patterns and retrieves based on conditions.

Whether you're planning your next fishing adventure or looking for expert advice, this episode is packed with valuable information. Tight lines!
