Fishing Spree Central Pennsylvania
The Destination Angler Podcast – August 19, 2021
Our destination is Central Pennsylvania and my fishing spree through these world-famous limestone trout streams: Spring Creek, Fishing Creek, Penn’s Creek, the Letort, Big Spring Creek, the Little Juniata, and Spruce Creek.
Our destination is Central Pennsylvania and my fishing spree through these world-famous limestone trout streams: Spring Creek, Fishing Creek, Penn’s Creek, the Letort, Big Spring Creek, the Little Juniata, and Spruce Creek.
Along the way, I was able to catch up with George Costa, manager of TCO Fly Shop, who gives us the low-down on top streams in and around State College, some tight-line nymphing tips, and strategies for summer conditions. Neil Sunday, Relentless Fly Fishing, Carlisle, PA to talk about our amazing day on the Letort. And Jonas Price, owner of the Feathered Hook, Coburn, PA. Always a hoot, Jonas shares an entertaining story or two along with warm weather strategies, his top fly picks, and why locally tied flies are the way to go. Bonus: Rocky, the “Legend of the Letort”, shares a story or two from his 50 years of fishing the Letort Spring Creek and his infamous Ant pattern.
Hope you enjoy these great people as much as I did. With Host, Steve Haigh
