S6, Ep 111: Fall Fishing Forecast and Steelhead Prep: George Costa's Central PA Report

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash catches up with George Costa of TCO Fly Shop in State College for another Central PA Fishing Report. George shares his humorous take on his health regimen and dives into the current fishing conditions in Central Pennsylvania. With cooler temperatures and a bit of rain, the fall fishing season is shaping up nicely. George highlights the effectiveness of terrestrials like ants, beetles, crickets and hoppers, while smaller nymphs are also producing good results. Streamer fishing is still a few weeks away, but the fish are beginning to prepare for pre-spawn, making it an exciting time on the water.

George provides updates on the local hatches, including Isos, caddis, olives and October caddis. He also shares information about upcoming classes at TCO Fly Shop, such as tying classes, on-the-water instruction and specialized courses like the streamer and Euronymphing classes. Notably, Steelhead Steve will be conducting a steelhead-specific class on October 19th, perfect for those looking to gain in-depth knowledge about steelhead fishing.

Marvin encourages listeners to send in their questions to keep George happy and to get a chance to win some Articulate Fly swag and be entered into a drawing for cool shop prizes at the end of the season. Don't miss this episode packed with practical fishing tips, local insights and a touch of humor.
