S7, Ep 86: Navigating Fall Waters: George Costa's Tips for Low and Clear Conditions


Listen Later

Join host Marvin Cash on The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast for a timely Central Pennsylvania Fishing Report with George Costa of TCO Fly Shop in State College.

With low, clear water conditions dominating Central PA streams, George breaks down the technical adjustments anglers need to make right now—long leaders, lighter tippets and smaller flies are essential for success. Learn which patterns are producing in these challenging conditions, from terrestrial dry droppers with hoppers, beetles and crickets to productive hatches like Tricos, Isos and October Caddis on waters like Penns Creek. George reveals the key depth strategy for finding fish in current conditions, targeting deeper slots of one to two feet where trout are holding.

Get the inside scoop on approaching steelhead season with fish already stacking at tributary mouths, plus details on TCO's fall fly tying classes and steelhead instruction.

Whether you're fishing Central PA's freestone streams or planning your steelhead tactics, this report delivers actionable intelligence for October fishing conditions.
