Cracking the Code on Penns Creek, Part 2 with Tess Weigand

Our destination is the legendary Penns Creek in central Pennsylvania—Part 2—with Team USA world champion angler and guide Tess Weigand.  Tess unleashes a flood of hard-won tips from years of guiding and competing to help you crack the code on one of the most technical trout streams in the East. We dive into the chaos of the Green Drake hatch, Tess's go-to fly patterns, how to handle the crowds, read tricky currents, and stay calm when "everything is hatching at once."  It's a masterclass in patience, stealth, and observation—with lessons stretching from Montana to Norway. Stick around to the end when Tess shares a moving story about her gold-medal moment with Team USA in Idaho—and what it really meant to her.
