Marvin: Hey folks, it's Marvin Cash, the host of the Articulate Fly,

Marvin: and we're back with another Central PA Fishing Report with George Costa of TCO

Marvin: Fly Shop and State College. How are you doing, George?

George: I'm amazing as always, but a little wet today.

Marvin: Yeah, I was going to say, I took a look at your weather. I was actually shocked

Marvin: you got your guide trip in yesterday, but you're going to get kind of rained

Marvin: on probably, I don't know, six or seven of the next 10 days?

George: Yeah, they're calling for a fair amount. It started last night,

George: so we've probably got about a half an inch or so out there.

George: Everything is creeping up. So everything's getting high and getting off color.

George: The Jays are already blown.

George: Spring is on the rise. Penn's is on the rise. Fishing Creek's on the rise.

George: We're supposed to get the bulk of it today into tonight.

George: Tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday, we're only supposed to get maybe another tenth to a quarter.

George: so I think the rivers are probably going to creep

George: start creeping down by tomorrow night I want to be

George: optimistic about and say we're still going to be able to fish Sunday tomorrow

George: spring may be fishable along the edges I don't think it's going to get gross

George: like it did about a month ago but we definitely got enough rain to you know

George: put a damper on things for the for the foreseeable couple of days here so that

George: kind of that kind of stinks since our hatches are really starting to get strong right now.

George: We've had great sulpers, great March browns.

George: Tank had us have been good.

George: So we're right in the thick of it now. But, you know, this is this will happen

George: from time to time where you get a couple days where we can't fish.

George: But, you know, next week the long term forecast is still looking a little rainy.

George: But, you know, who knows? It's only 20 percent, 30 percent.

George: They start doing that and, you know, got to wait till a day out to really get

George: a good idea of what's happening.

Marvin: Yeah. So it sounds like probably maybe streamer fishing on Sunday,

Marvin: maybe jigging streamers on the edges is stuff like that?

George: Sure, yeah. You can definitely throw some streamers. I think that streamers

George: are going to be a good option.

George: I think that those, you know, little wormy patterns along the edges are going to be good options.

George: And, you know, plenty of fish move to the edges and if there's still good hatches,

George: you can still get plenty of dry flights in the dirty water.

George: You're just going to be fishing the skinny stuff where the fish can actually

George: see up and, you know, clarity is going to be key to dry fly fishing if anything

George: is available this next coming day.

George: So, got to just kind of pay attention to what's going on.

Marvin: Yeah, just step in and see if you can see your boots, right?

George: Exactly. If you can't see your boots, you probably should go see a movie.

Marvin: Speaking of, what do you suggest?

George: I have no idea.

Marvin: You got to prepare better than that, George. Oh, man, I'm not prepared. There you go.

Marvin: Well, you know, folks, we love questions at the Articulate Fly.

Marvin: You can email them to us or DM us on social media, whatever is easiest for you.

Marvin: And if we use your question, I will send you some Articulate Fly swag.

Marvin: And we will have a drawing for something cool from the shop at the end of the

Marvin: season. And, George, before I let you go, I guess a couple of things.

Marvin: One, I saw stuff on social media. You've got your new store up and running,

Marvin: but I know you've also got a fishing tournament coming up too, right?

George: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we've got a couple of fun things. The Muncie store

George: up in the Williamsport area is up and running there. They've been open a couple weeks.

George: So if you're up in the Muncie Williamsport area, go and check out our new store

George: at the EuroOptics building there in Muncie, PA.
