Join host Marvin Cash as he checks in with George Costa of TCO Fly Shop in State College for the latest central PA fishing scoop on The Articulate Fly. George, brimming with post-Easter candy enthusiasm, shares the challenging conditions anglers face with streams at or above flood stage. Despite the deluge, there's an undercurrent of optimism as they anticipate the return of good hatches, with olives and grannoms making strong appearances before the rains.
George predicts a potential for streamer action by late weekend, with hopes for dry fly activity as the weather warms up in the coming week. The conversation then flows into shop talk, highlighting new inventory ready for spring, including exciting fly patterns, the latest Scott rods and the new Grundens wader line-up.
For those bitten by the fly fishing bug or just "fly curious," George points out TCO's educational offerings, from beginner to advanced classes, perfect for expanding your angling horizons. And remember, questions are always welcome on The Articulate Fly; send them in for a chance to win some swag and get entered into a drawing for cool shop gear.
So, as the waters recede, gear up for the season's opportunities. Stay tuned, stay prepared and, as always, tight lines!
