There’s only so much you can do in a week – or, according to Oliver Burkeman, in the roughly 4,000 weeks the average human lives. Oliver is a journalist and author of the books Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, Meditations for Mortals, and the newsletter “The Imperfectionist.” Chris and Oliver discuss the paradox of why change can only occur once we accept that we might not be able to change. Oliver also shares how life’s mishaps can become our most treasured memories and why sharing your imperfections is an act of generosity.

In this episode of The Articulate Fly fishing podcast, guide and instructor Mac Brown shares game-changing stillwater fishing techniques that will revolutionize your strike detection. With summer heat making trout fishing challenging, Mac reveals how fishing farm ponds for bluegill and bass becomes the perfect training ground for serious anglers.

In this Central Pennsylvania Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fishing podcast, Marvin Cash connects with George Costa from TCO Fly Shop in State College for essential summer fishing intelligence. With water levels slightly above seasonal norms and afternoon temperatures pushing into the high 60s, Costa emphasizes the critical importance of temperature monitoring and strategic timing. While the cicada emergence is wrapping up, trout continue attacking cicada patterns as they chase the last available protein, and anglers should expect tricos to begin hatching any day for prime early morning dry fly opportunities. Costa reveals that terrestrial patterns including beetles, ants and green weenies are producing consistent results, while streamer fishing shows promise during low-light periods with the slightly off-color water from recent storms. The discussion provides actionable guidance for Central Pennsylvania anglers navigating the transition into peak summer conditions, emphasizing early morning and late evening sessions while avoiding the dangerous afternoon temperature spikes that stress trout populations.

Join Marvin Cash on The Articulate Fly fishing podcast for another Central PA Fishing Report with George Costa from TCO Fly Shop in State College. George delivers exciting news about the ongoing cicada emergence that's creating once-in-17-years fishing opportunities throughout central Pennsylvania. Despite recent hot weather in the 90s, stream temperatures remain ideal thanks to water levels running 2-3 times above normal seasonal flows, keeping most waters around 63-64 degrees. The cicada fishing continues to dominate with fish heavily keyed in on cicada patterns, and George expects at least another week of active emergence with cicada patterns remaining effective for weeks afterward as fish stay focused on these massive insects. While other hatches like Cahills, Isos and golden stones are present, virtually every angler is capitalizing on this rare cicada phenomenon. For fly fishers within driving distance of central Pennsylvania, this represents a fleeting opportunity to experience some of the most exciting topwater fly fishing available.
