TCO Fly Shop - State College

I live out of state but was referred to your shop by George Daniel. I was looking to purchase a sign copy of George’s latest book. Ben was good enough to take my request to er the phone and ship it to me. I’m always looking for good shops for fly fishing supplies and it appears this is a great one. Thanks for all you do !

Super helpful staff who gave advice without any pretense. A fantastic fly shop for all levels of knowledge.

Great fly shop! Staff was helpful but not pushy.

Staff is really helpful and friendly. George is awesome! Definitely knows his stuff! (spooled some reels for me and recommended some fantastic lines and some indicators he likes). I would definitely recommend them!

On Saturday we did a full day guided fly fishing trip at Spruce Creek with Gavin Robinson. I was brand new to fly fishing and I learned so much from him in just 8 hours. He taught us so much between flies, knots and techniques. We had an absolutely fantastic day with perfect conditions and were very successful. I highly recommend booking your guided trip with Gavin!

Ben at TCO put me on fish 12-26-2022. He told me my plan for the day was good... Just wrong time of the year. He told me where he would be if he wasn't working that day. I caught a lot of wild browns that afternoon. I will be back in the future. The store looked to be fully stocked up on flies, tying materials, Simms waders, Sage, Orvis, G. Loomis, and a lot more.

Always a great place to shop, have a super selection of tying materials and people who work there and owner know what their talking about and don't hesitate to help you.

Good selection, fair prices, nice staff who are very informative

On a fishing trip to Penn's Creek after about a 10 year hiatus in flyfishing, my wading boots disintegrated. The staff at TCO were great and got me back to wading in Penn's Creek. Thanks guys.

Great experience at TCO. Came prepared to fish Penns but water was blown out. Steven gave me and my friend a great alternative that really panned out. Also was dead on about what flies we needed. Great addition to the staff. .

I had a great experience with this fly shop. I don't typically buy fly fishing items online, but I love the Troutbitten blog and wanted to support both the blog and local fly shop. I'd definitely shop here again.

Internet ordering was perfect! Great price and quick shipping (all things considered.) Response from customer service was awesome. Well done!!!

Dave Bower, at State College TCO, has been a great help improving my nymphing success on Spring Creek. Initially I met him on the stream walking his dog before heading to the shop and he shared some weighted nymphs which turned my day into a successful outing. Yesterday he helped me select a new nymphing rod and this morning I had the best day catching fish in my life including a double take on my first cast. Love the rod and appreciate Dave’s advice on how to properly set my leaders. The right equipment and right technique make all the difference and TCO made the learning curve a lot quicker! Thanks!!!

Small shop but has everything you need. Staff is extremely friendly and willing to help out with any information you need to fish the fantastic streams around state college. Nice assortment of reasonably priced flies too.

Awesome place to get all your fly fishing and fly tying needs and they are extremely knowledgeable and treat you right I felt
