In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash is joined by George Costa from TCO Fly Shop in State College for the latest Central PA Fishing Report. George shares his excitement for the upcoming trout opener on April 5th, discussing the current state of local waters and the anticipated spring hatches. With recent rains expected to bring some high and off-color water, George highlights the importance of adapting to these conditions while fishing.

The duo dives into the specifics of spring dry fly fishing, addressing listener questions about preferred colors and sizes. George emphasizes that selecting the right fly depends on the hatch and local conditions, offering insights on everything from size 20 BWOs to size 8 Green Drakes. He stresses the need for variety and attentiveness to the unique preferences of Central PA's wild fish, which can vary significantly even within the same river.

Listeners will also learn about upcoming events at TCO Fly Shop, including a special tying class with renowned fly tier Blane Chocklett. With practical advice and a shared passion for the sport, this episode is a must-listen for anglers eager to make the most of the spring fishing season.
