Hey, folks, it's Marvin Cash, the host of the articulate fly. We're back with another central PA fishing report with George Costa, Tco fly shop in state College. George, how are you? I'm amazing as always, Marvin. How are you? And as always, I'm just trying to stay out of trouble and as I always do, took a quick look at your weather and, you know, you are in the official fall groove in central. Padded. We are indeed. The leaves are turning and falling. We've got some nice cool weather.
We just had a good amount of rain up here. Not as much as those poor folks down south, but our stream levels are really good right now. We are at average or a little above. Everything's got a little bit of color to it and flows have been pretty good. Fishing has definitely picked up. I got out a couple of days ago and the nymphing was great. Streamer bite is starting to pick up. We're seeing some olives, we're seeing isos, we're seeing October cattus.
We got a little shot of sun again, which is nice. So terrestrials should be working pretty good. Ants, beetles, crickets, things like that. Got a little bit of the warmer, sunny weather, bring them out. So fall fishing is really picking up well and might be time to start looking for reds in the next couple of weeks. Usually spring creek, we start seeing them by mid October. So keep your eyes peeled for fish that are going to start spawning.
And we got a couple nice ones on streamers of the day that we're definitely getting their fall colors on. So fall is here. Yeah. And so for folks, you know, we'll. We're going to beat this to death over probably the next four to six weeks. But you know, you can recognize those reds because it literally looks like somebody went out and swept a perfect little nice circle in the bottom of the stream bed. Yeah, for sure.
You know, not necessarily a circle, but it looks like a bunch of cleared, polished rocks. That's what you want to look out for. Yeah, don't tread on the reds, right, exactly, exactly. And so of course, as it gets colder, it also means good drinking weather. You might have a brewing bugs event coming up too, right? We do indeed. We've got our steelhead brewing bugs coming up on the 17 October with our very own steelhead, Steve. He's a outstanding steelhead fisherman. Ties to mean flies.
So it's at Axman Brewery six to eight on Thursday, the 17 October. So if you're around that, you want to learn how to pass some really good steelhead flies I recommend signing up for that, Evan. Yeah, there you go. And you know, folks, we love questions on the articulate fly. And I had to talk to George for a half an hour before we started recording because he was crying because we didn't have a question.
So send us your questions and, you know, if we use your question, I'll send you some articulate fly swag, and you're getting in a cool drawing for some stuff at the shop at the end of the season. And George, I imagine, too, heading into fall, maybe. You know, you definitely prime in the pump for classes and time classes. But you might have a sale or two as well, right? Sure. We got a bunch of stuff on sale right now. All last season stuff is on sale. We got a ton of stuff on our website.
Some good wader sales going on right now. So check out tcoflyfishing.com for all our sales stuff and hope to see you guys out on the water soon. Yeah, and I don't want to steal your thunder. You want to give us shop hours and all that kind of good stuff? Absolutely. Nine to six, Monday through Saturday here in State College. 09:00 03:00 on Sundays. All our other stores have similar hours. So come down and we'll see you. Well, there you go.
Well, folks, as I always say, you owe it to yourself to get out there and catch a few. Tight lines, everybody. Tight lines. George, take it easy, Mark.
