S6, Ep 96: Central PA Late Summer Fishing Report with George Costa


Listen Later

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash checks in with George Costa from TCO Fly Shop in State College, Pennsylvania, for another insightful Central PA Fishing Report. George shares the latest updates on fishing conditions in the area, highlighting the significant improvements over the past few weeks. With recent high water levels dropping and temperatures becoming more reasonable, George reports that conditions are prime for late summer fishing.

George dives into the details, mentioning that popular spots like Little J, Spring Creek and Fishing Creek are in excellent shape with good flows and a touch of green. He notes that nymphs, particularly greenie weenies and small mayfly patterns, are performing well during the day. On the dry fly front, late summer terrestrials such as beetles, ants and crickets are proving effective. Additionally, anglers can expect to see some white flies, sporadic caddis, olives and tricos in the mornings.

Looking ahead, George discusses the anticipation of October caddis hatches and the potential for isonychia hatches as temperatures continue to cool. He also emphasizes the importance of streamer fishing during low light conditions, which should yield good results given the current water levels and temperatures.

Marvin and George also touch on the excitement of the fall fishing season and the various classes and events TCO Fly Shop has planned. From tying classes to on-the-water instruction, there's something for everyone looking to brush up on their skills. George encourages listeners to check out the shop's website for more information and to take advantage of the upcoming opportunities.

Don't miss this episode packed with valuable fishing tips, local insights and a touch of humor as Marvin and George navigate the ever-changing fishing conditions in Central PA.
