What is late summer, actually? Like beyond the light on the horizon becoming more golden and the leaves starting to turn...How can we apply what we understand from the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic lenses to our own bodies, and our cycles. In this week's episode, I explore all of this and more, including some insights I personally have on what late summer might physiologically be in our menstrual cycles and why I see it that way. I share basics on how to align with this season, and even an herbal ally that can be both supportive for our bodies in this transitional season as well as support a healthier luteal phase.

By late summer, the garden can start to feel a little wild. The weeds are growing fast, the harvest is piling up, watering needs are changing, and life outside the garden is getting busier, too.So what actually needs your attention right now, and what can you let go?In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, we're talking through our top priorities for the late summer garden. We'll cover why harvesting should come first, how to adjust your watering as the season changes, what to do with bare garden beds, when to plant fall crops or cover crops, and how to keep weeds from creating more work next year.We also talk about something that's just as important: learning to recognize when good enough really is good enough. You don't need a perfectly tidy garden to have a successful season.Plus, we're sharing what's happening around our homestead right now, from preserving green beans and sauerkraut to fall pasture management, meat chickens, and preparing for the colder months ahead.LINKS MENTIONED:* Traditional Skills Academy Curriculum: https://traditionalskillsacademy.com/* Thanks to Azure Standard for sponsoring this podcast.

Night-time insects of late summer with some added texture and sporadic notes. Spend the night in the backyard! Whether you're studying, working, reading, sleeping, or unwinding after a long day, this immersive ambient soundscape provides the perfect background soundtrack. No talking, no interruptions—just late summer bug chatter. Ignore the World. _____It's our third installment of late summer sounds from my backyard. The main audio was recorded over the last weekend in August. As this episode is the third installment of “A Dying Summer's Suburban slumber,” I've gone rogue and added some texture and other elements. I've got a bunch of naked night bug episodes—as in no sound (this is a family show). To me the bugs are always more fun when the temperatures get lower and affect the frequency over the night. With the weather as warm as it has been, the bugs are naked and loud.Speaking of naked, I have been thinking of Lee Iacocca—look, I probably needed two more paragraphs to segue between nude insects and the former businessman (and Snoop Dogg commercial co-host—**** that could have been my segue).What would Lee Iacocca make of our current world? No, kidding WGAS—sing out loud “Lee Iacocca… made some cars” to the tune of “Jeremy” by Pearl Jam and now you have the same tic as me! “Jay-EE-AR Tolkien, wrote some books” also works.Gawd, I had to read Lee Iacocca in high school… I skimmed about as much as I could stand, and bull****ed my way through the report. Iacocca's book cover (swagger) was presented to empty Chick-O-Stick wrappers and the other gunk at the bottom of my book bag most of the time it was in my possession.And to continue the household brand name theme— I don't give a **** about transitioning properly! Let me tell you about one of the first internet fandom-fueled movements I remember.It was late 1996 and I was a college dip****. Sophomore year, Redman's Muddy Waters forever in my cassette player. Slothing around a snowy Vermont campus in baggy jeans, XXL Pure Playaz t-shirts. It was almost time to return home for Christmas—my dad cryptically mentions over the phone that he would be sending me back after the holiday with enough breakfast for the final semester.“What?”Dad explained he was in possession of a multitude of Unfrosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts value packs. And I would be inheriting most of them. “Awesome.”My father fluctuated between bemused and proud of my sister's advocacy—while lording over a stockpile of breakfast sweets. Apparently, my younger sister had been part of SOS, a group of online Sailor Moon fans not happy with Sailor Moon syndication time slots in the United States. The distributor planned to shutter production (adaptation and dubbing for American audiences) because the show wasn't performing well.And the SOS decided rather than boycott something to save their new favorite show, SOS would stage a procott on a day in December 1996 to display their purchasing power. They chose Unfrosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts and the campaign made waves. I don't know the ramifications of what SOS accomplished overall, but Sailor Moon is still in the zeitgeist and I got a lot of Pop-Tarts. PS: Homage cover art this week inspired by Iron Nest, a video game that gives you the keys to an early 1900s Metal Gear with Myst vibes and a fantastic liminal space to inhabit. Plus, their cover art rocks—not an ad, just fanboy ****. PPS: It is a game about a fictional war, and while war runs counter to the philosophy of this podcast... I haven't felt like I was back in Myst since Riven, and I stunk at Riven.
Episode 188 focuses on creative ways to maximize 100,000 Capital One miles, along with several noteworthy points-and-miles updates. The episode's highlight was member Courtney's impressive ChatGPT-built, mobile-friendly travel dashboard that tracks more than 1.5 million points and miles, credit cards, annual fees, statement credits, free-night certificates, elite statuses, 5/24 status, redemptions, upcoming applications, trips, and important deadlines. In the news, Citi launched a 125,000-mile welcome offer on the refreshed AAdvantage Executive card, while United and American announced a slate of new European routes for next summer, including destinations such as Lisbon, Porto, Reykjavik, Vienna, Valencia, Sardinia, Sicily, and the Azores. American Express also rolled out elevated Delta SkyMiles card offers, with bonuses reaching 200,000 miles, and IHG introduced a targeted discount on the cash portion of Points & Cash bookings.The main discussion explores how two people can stretch 100K Capital One miles plus roughly $1,000 in cash into trips of at least two or three nights. Angie highlights options such as Lisbon, where 48K miles can cover round-trip flights for two, while Wyndham or Capital One Travel can cover the hotel; Medellin, where 80K miles covers flights and an inexpensive hotel can be partially erased with the remaining miles; and San Juan, where 66K miles handles the flights and the remaining miles help offset a Marriott hotel booked through the Capital One portal. Cameron offers additional examples, including a Miami Beach getaway for about 95K miles, a three-night Hawaii trip for 100K miles plus $230, and a Cancun all-inclusive that can be done for around 105K miles and $400. The episode also emphasizes Capital One's ability to erase travel purchases at a fixed rate, which can be especially useful for expenses like trains and tours, although transferring to airline and hotel partners can often provide greater value.The episode wraps up with the hosts' personal bonus and trip updates, including Cameron's upcoming Morocco trip, Southwest meetup flights, and strategies for maximizing Bilt benefits, while Angie prepares for a major Europe trip and looks ahead to Australia. The Tip of the Week is a useful airline-booking tidbit: Air Canada and Singapore Airlines use the same PNR, which can be helpful when managing reservations across the two programs.Episode Links:Chat Points command center post of the weekUnited New summer routesAmerican New summer routesIHG Point + Cash discountAmerican Executive Card offerElevated Delta Card offersWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Late summer can expose the colonies that simply haven't kept pace. Maybe they're late splits, small nucs, colonies recovering from swarming, or colonies that never developed the population you expected. What should you do with them before winter? In this episode of Honey Bee Obscura, Jim Tew welcomes Anne Frey of Betterbee for a practical conversation about managing small colonies as summer gives way to fall. Anne and Jim discuss how small a colony can be and still have a reasonable chance of overwintering, along with ways beekeepers can improve those odds. That includes making sure Varroa mites are under control, providing adequate honey and pollen, donating resources from stronger colonies, reducing environmental stresses, adding top insulation, and positioning small colonies so they can benefit from shared warmth. They also explore overwintering nucs above stronger colonies using double-screen boards, multi-compartment equipment, equalizing colonies with frames of capped brood, and when simply combining two weak colonies may be the better choice. And what about moving colonies indoors—or even hauling them hundreds of miles south? Jim has stories about both. The bottom line: small colonies require extra attention, realistic expectations, and sometimes a willingness to cut your losses while protecting valuable drawn comb for another season. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

“Since early August, through this summer's multiple heatwaves, this park has had a thick carpet of dead leaves. Right now you can see the beginnings of a false autumn as full green branches stand side by side with skeletal bare trees, the fallen leaves slowly taken away by the council in large transparent bags.”

August always seems to be a time when certain weeds become quite noticeable in pastures. That is especially true of areas that have had abundant summer rains and in pastures that have relatively thin grass stands, where animals congregate, or if some overgrazing has occurred.

Episode OverviewCaptain Brian Shumaker of Susquehanna River Guides returns to The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast for another Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report, breaking down how a fresh round of heavy late summer rain has muddied the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers and reshaped smallmouth positioning heading into Labor Day. Shumaker explains how localized thunderstorm tracks determine which branch of the Susquehanna blows out and which stays clean, meaning anglers who understand the West Branch/North Branch dynamic on the Susquehanna and the Juniata Valley's own storm patterns can often salvage half a river rather than write off an entire day. He details a mud line strategy for fishing the boundary between clear and discolored water and lays out when to stick with "bug" patterns tight to clear banks versus when to switch to intermediate lines and streamers in colors like black-and-purple or chartreuse-and-orange once water clarity drops off. As rising but still fishable flows push Susquehanna smallmouth tighter onto mid-river structure such as grass beds, islands and rock ledges, Shumaker also covers how those fish use discolored water the same way they use shade or cover, sitting in the murk to ambush prey. On the seasonal side, he notes that a lack of an early hard frost could extend the region's topwater bite into the back half of September.Key TakeawaysHow to read localized thunderstorm tracks to figure out which branch of the Susquehanna will blow out and which stays fishableWhy smallmouth bass hold in muddy or discolored water as an ambush point the same way they use shade or grass coverWhen to switch from "bug" fishing tight to clear banks over to streamer fishing once you move more than about five feet into discolored waterHow rising but still fishable Susquehanna flows push smallmouth bass tighter onto mid-river structure like grass beds, islands and rock ledgesWhy the lack of an early hard frost can extend Pennsylvania's topwater bite into late SeptemberHow to pick streamer colors like black-and-purple or chartreuse-and-orange with intermediate lines for muddy high water smallmouth fishingTechniques & Gear CoveredShumaker walks through a mud line approach that targets the seam between clear and discolored water where smallmouth bass concentrate during high flows alongside a two-track presentation strategy that pairs "bug" patterns fished tight to clear banks with streamer fishing once anglers move into muddier water. For the streamer side, he favors intermediate lines paired with baitfish-style patterns in black-and-purple or chartreuse-and-orange color combinations chosen for visibility in reduced-clarity conditions. He also touches on the difference between fishing wide island-studded water like the Susquehanna, where rising flows push bass onto mid-river grass beds, islands and rock ledges rather than tight to the bank, and smaller water where high flows more directly push fish toward bank structure.Locations & SpeciesThe report centers on the Susquehanna River, where the confluence of the West Branch and the North Branch determines which side of the river runs clean after localized storms, along with the Juniata River and its own Juniata Valley watershed. Target species is smallmouth bass, with Shumaker describing how rising but still fishable flows concentrate fish tighter onto mid-river grass beds, islands and rock ledges rather than spreading them out as they would be in normal lower water. Seasonally, the report is set in late summer heading into Labor Day, with Shumaker noting that, barring an early hard frost, the topwater bite could last into the back half of September.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow does thunderstorm track affect fishing conditions on the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers?Shumaker explains that because the Susquehanna is fed by a West Branch and a North Branch, storms tracking from the west without moving north will muddy the West Branch and roughly half the river while the North Branch-fed side stays clear. A similar pattern plays out on the Juniata and the two systems meet near Duncannon, so anglers can often find fishable water somewhere even after heavy rain.Why do smallmouth bass hold in muddy or discolored water during high flows?Shumaker notes that bass treat discolored water the same way they treat shade or grass cover using it as an ambush point where they can sit unseen and dart out to grab prey that swims by even though the fish cannot see the same distance in dirty water that they could in clear conditions.When should anglers switch from "bug" fishing to streamers in high water?According to Shumaker, visibility along the banks typically holds for about one to five feet before the water turns too dirty, so anglers can still fish bug patterns tight to the bank and in the shade. Once they move beyond that clear margin into discolored water, he recommends switching to intermediate lines and streamers since fish cannot see a surface bug's silhouette well in reduced clarity.How does rising water change where Susquehanna smallmouth position themselves?Shumaker explains that on a wide river system like the Susquehanna, rising but still fishable flows push smallmouth bass tighter onto mid-river structure such as grass beds, islands and rock ledges.Why might a late hard frost extend Pennsylvania's smallmouth topwater activity into late September and beyond?Shumaker says that, without an early hard frost, the region's damsel activity and flying ant hatch, both of which are already good in the July-through-August window, could keep producing solid topwater opportunities into the second half of September rather than tapering off as usual.Related ContentS8, Ep 59 - Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report: Captain Brian Shumaker's Late Summer StrategiesS8, Ep 56 - Topwater Tactics: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania Smallmouth ReportS8, Ep 52 - Hot Days and Night Bites: Brian Shumaker's Guide to Pennsylvania Smallmouth FishingS8, Ep 43 - Smallmouth Strategies and Seasonal Shifts: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania ReportView all Pennsylvania Smallmouth Reports with Brian ShumakerConnect with Our GuestFollow Brian on Facebook and Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Episode OverviewOn this Central PA Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with George Costa of TCO Fly Shop in State College, Pennsylvania, for a late summer conditions update. Water levels across the region are running well above the usual late summer norm thanks to a wet summer, keeping trout streams fishable throughout the day even as afternoon action remains the slowest window. Costa reports Tricos are still bringing fish up in the mornings, while evening hatches of caddis, olives and the season's first Isonychias round out the dry fly picture. With water levels up, terrestrials such as beetles, ants and crickets are the top producers, fished on a dry-dropper rig with small nymphs like zebra midges, perdigons and Greenie Weenies below. Streamer fishing has also been productive during low-light morning and evening windows. Costa notes that trout fishing is in unusually good shape for this time of year, avoiding the typical low, hot and stressful late summer conditions. Beyond the trout report, Costa shares that the smallmouth bite has been strong on the high water, particularly around the Juniata River, with anglers finding good topwater action by working the banks. He also previews TCO's transition into fall and winter, including new product arriving, seasonal sales and a full slate of fall and winter classes coming to the shop's website in the coming weeks.Key TakeawaysHow to target Central PA trout during high, late summer flows by fishing dry-dropper rigs with terrestrials on top and small nymphs underneathWhen to fish for the best dry fly action, focusing on morning Trico windows and evening caddis and Isonychia hatchesWhy streamer fishing is producing right now when fished during low-light morning and evening hours rather than middayHow to find smallmouth bass action on the Juniata River by working the banks with topwater flies during elevated flowsTechniques & Gear CoveredCosta's go-to approach for elevated, late summer flows is a dry-dropper rig, pairing terrestrial patterns like beetles, ants and crickets on top with small nymphs such as zebra midges, perdigons and Greenie Weenies below. Dry fly anglers can also find morning Trico action on Penns Creek and the Little Juniata, along with evening hatches of caddis, olives and early-season Isonychias. For anglers willing to fish low light, streamers are producing a decent bite in the early morning and evening hours. On the smallmouth side, Costa points anglers toward topwater flies worked tight to the bank on the Juniata River, where elevated flows haven't slowed the bite.Locations & SpeciesThis report centers on Central Pennsylvania's trout waters, including Penns Creek and the Little Juniata, which are running high and cool after a wet summer, keeping fishing viable through the middle of the day despite a typical afternoon lull. Wild and stocked trout remain the primary target, with morning Trico and evening caddis, olive and Isonychia hatches providing consistent dry fly opportunities. Costa also highlights a strong secondary smallmouth bass fishery on the high water of the Juniata River, where anglers working the banks are finding good topwater action despite the elevated flows.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat are current water conditions on Central PA trout streams in late summer?Water levels are running well above the typical late summer norm thanks to a wet summer, and temperatures have stayed relatively stable without the usual late summer spikes. Costa still recommends checking stream temperatures in the afternoons, but overall conditions have allowed for fishing throughout the day.When is the best time of day to fish Central PA streams right now?Mornings and evenings are producing the most consistent action, with Tricos bringing fish up early and caddis, olives and Isonychias showing in the evening. Afternoons remain the slowest window, so Costa recommends sticking to the low light hours.What flies should anglers use for late summer trout in Central PA?Costa recommends a dry-dropper rig with terrestrials like beetles, ants and crickets on top, paired with small nymphs such as zebra midges, perdigons and Greenie Weenies underneath. Streamers are also working when fished during low light morning and evening periods.How is the smallmouth bite on the Juniata River right now?The smallmouth bite has been great despite elevated flows, with anglers working the banks and finding solid topwater action.

Episode 187 recaps the recent Award Travel 101 meetup in Milwaukee, along with several important developments in the points and miles world. The highlight post featured a memorable booking mistake from a member who accidentally reserved two Hilton rooms for five nights each in the wrong city—and even the wrong country—because the hotel was named “Hilton Kuala…” despite actually being located in Ho Chi Minh City. The hosts also covered a 25% Citi ThankYou transfer bonus to Leading Hotels of the World Leaders Club, upcoming Uber One changes that reduce ride rewards from 6% to 5% while adding benefits for families and international travelers, continued Priority Pass devaluations, and Flying Blue's new Light, Standard, and Flex award fare structure beginning September 8.The hosts also discussed their latest credit card activity and upcoming travel. Angie picked up an Amex Business Gold with a 200K welcome offer and finally got the Marriott Brilliant, while Laura added Atmos and American Airlines business cards. Laura finished booking her Costa Rica trip using points for hotels and United business-class flights, while Angie was preparing for a major Istanbul, Switzerland, and Lake Como trip. The bulk of the episode, though, focused on the Milwaukee meetup, which featured presentations from Max Craig on using AI for travel planning and earning points, Patrick Sugarman on travel insurance, Eric Holly on using Rove miles for Air India and cheaper United flights, and Chris Moss promoting the upcoming Chicago Seminars and hosting a huge suite party.Beyond the official sessions, the meetup included a Friday reception, a happy hour at Milwaukee Public Market, a massive suite party, cheese and wine tasting, a Pabst tour, volleyball, plenty of cheese curds, and lots of time hanging out at local spots. Despite numerous flight delays and cancellations affecting attendees, the weekend was filled with lively conversations, useful tips, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow members.

Late August and early September are important times for migrating butterflies like monarchs, swallowtails, and painted ladies, and the plants in our gardens can make a real difference. This week, Joanne shares simple ways to support butterflies by providing the right host and nectar plants, even if you only have a small garden, a patio, or a few containers. Some of the topics covered in this week's episode: Host plants are just as important as nectar plants: Learn the difference between plants butterflies feed from and the specific host plants they need for laying eggs and feeding caterpillars. Late summer is an important time to support migrating butterflies: The garden season may feel like it is winding down, but late-August and early-September butterflies still need reliable food sources before migration. A butterfly-friendly garden is part of a healthier, more biodiverse garden: Reducing harsh chemical use — and tolerating some caterpillar feeding — will help create a diverse garden that supports butterflies, other beneficial insects and ultimately birds as well.

Gaius and Germanicus: On a rainy late summer night in 92 AD Londinium, the hosts convene in their newly expanded wine bar by the River Thames, built so retired centurions of the eighth legion—such as Strabo, who served twenty-seven years—can rest and put their feet up. Gaius apologizes for his tardiness, delayed by a commercial dispute with a Gaulishmerchant demanding extra money for a shipment of Greek wine brought across the choppy English Channel; a poor bargainer, Gaius resolves to pay whatever it takes to secure the wine for the centurions by Sunday, and shares his day planting fragrant sumacs and tall purple-flowered ironweeds as pollinators. From this first-century frame, the hosts turn to the collapse of American strategy: the Persian Empire (modern Iran) no longer fears the American "imperator," as shown by Iran inviting Iraq—a country generously supported by the United States for years—to ship at least five backed-up tankers of oil through the Strait of Hormuzuntouched, and by Pakistani army chief General Munir's travel to Tehran to meet the IRGC. Russia and China are in constant communication with Iran; Germanicus traces Russia's interest to the nineteenth century, the 1908 spheres-of-influence division, and the 1942 invasion, arguing the American "feckless war" has stitched the Eurasian continent together and frozen the US out. Where the post-9/11 US "bestrode the Middle East like a colossus" and Iran sought breathing room through the JCPOA, now Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan court Tehran, the Gulf states seek accommodations in the new order, and the US has been reduced to nothing more than Israel's direct defender.

Charlie Nardozzi answers garden questions that have been cropping up in late summer.
Summer is here - we enter the long days and sultry nights with the garden looking glorious - but always looking to the horizon for a little bit of rain to keep things looking green and lush. Herbaceous borders are set to maximum colour, vegetable beds seem to multiply in growth weekly and the gardener's tan is ever present. So enjoy the long summer days, take some time to appreciate time in your garden and join the Talking Heads pair as they continue to look after their planty spaces, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.This week, Lucy and Saul encourage us all to let go of our inner control freak, and welcome the fact that in gardening, every year, some plants thrive where others fail, certain machinery will test our patience, design ideas may materialise as a triumph or a flop - and that's just part of the marvellous melting pot that is gardening. So, take Saul's lead (yes! He's embracing the silver lining), remember that the future is still yet to be decided, and dip your little toe into 2027.

Episode 185 of the Award Travel 101 podcast features Angie Sparks and guest Xan Tanner, founder of Gondola AI. The episode opens with a helpful reminder about using unused Instacart credits to support food banks through Community Carts, followed by several travel-industry updates. Citi is refreshing the American Airlines Executive Card with new perks, including American Airlines Vacations, in-flight and Admirals Club credits, Omni and Avis status, and enhanced Lyft and loyalty benefits, although the annual fee is increasing to $695. Angie also highlights current transfer bonuses, including 30% from Amex Membership Rewards to Avios programs and 40% from Citi ThankYou Points to Turkish, as well as Frontier's limited-time $199 GoWild! Pass. Angie and Xan also share recent credit-card wins and upcoming travel plans, including trips to Chicago, Milwaukee, Anguilla, Sicily, and Istanbul.The main topic is Gondola AI, which Xan developed after years of traveling for work and wondering whether AI could manage travel more efficiently—earning more points, saving money, and understanding an individual traveler's preferences. Gondola has evolved significantly with advances in AI and is now available on the web, through its app, and within ChatGPT, where results can be personalized based on a user's points and travel profile. Unlike many award-search and “reservation gardening” tools, Gondola is free and can book directly for users, allowing them to retain points, status benefits, and other perks while also earning Gondola Cash. The platform monitors hotel, flight, and car reservations for price drops and can reprice bookings when possible, while generating revenue through hotel and rental commissions that it shares with users.For casual travelers, Xan recommends taking advantage of Gondola's status challenge, which can increase Triplestacking rewards from 3% to 5% after booking three nights during the first week. The episode closes with a reminder to use your points rather than letting them sit, especially as loyalty programs continue to devalue their currencies—as demonstrated by Marriott's recent 6% devaluation. The broader message is that travelers should take advantage of their points and available benefits now while using tools like Gondola AI to automate the work of finding savings and maximizing rewards.Episode Links:Unused Instacart creditsCiti AA Executive refreshAmex to Avios transfer bonusFrontier Go Wild passWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Episode OverviewOn this Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with Captain Brian Shumaker of Susquehanna River Guides for a mid-August conditions update on the Susquehanna River system in Central Pennsylvania. After a heavy rain event pushed the river up, Shumaker reports flows are now falling and clarity is returning, with roughly two feet of visibility on the edges and more color still out in the main current. That in-between water dictates a two-tier approach: anglers can still pound the banks with poppers where visibility holds, but need to switch to bigger, darker streamers with more flash as they move off the bank into stained water. Shumaker breaks down how he is fishing Half and Half and Clouser Minnow patterns in size two and one, in chartreuse-yellow with gold flash, black-and-olive and olive-and-orange combinations, all still fished on an intermediate line. He also covers how the return of some color has let him tighten up casting distances compared to the ultra-clear, low-water conditions from before the rain, when 40-foot+ casts were often required to avoid spooking fish. Looking ahead, Shumaker outlines open guide dates in late September and October before he heads to Texas for redfish in November.Key TakeawaysHow falling, stained water after heavy rain changes streamer color and profile choices for Susquehanna smallmouthWhy topwater poppers still produce along the bank edges even when the main current carries reduced visibilityWhen to size up to bigger, darker streamers with added flash as anglers move off the bank into off-color waterHow stained, elevated water allows for shorter, more comfortable casts compared to low, clear pre-rain conditionsWhen to book a fall smallmouth trip with Susquehanna River Guides as the guide calendar opens up in September and OctoberTechniques & Gear CoveredShumaker splits his approach along a visibility gradient: poppers worked tight to the bank where a foot and a half or so of clarity remains, and streamers as anglers move out into the murkier main current. His streamer program centers on Half and Half and Clouser Minnow patterns in size two and one, favoring darker, flashier color combinations in stained water, including chartreuse-yellow with gold flash, black-and-olive and olive-and-orange. All of these are fished on an intermediate line rather than a heavier sinking option, even as fly size and color shift with conditions. On the presentation side, he notes that reduced water clarity has shortened the casting distance needed to reach productive water, a contrast to the 40-foot+ casts required during the low, gin-clear conditions before the rain.Locations & SpeciesThis report covers the Susquehanna River system in Central Pennsylvania, where Captain Brian Shumaker guides for smallmouth bass out of Susquehanna River Guides. Conditions are transitional: the river is dropping and clearing after a heavy rain event, moving from a bony, low-water late-summer pattern toward a fresh bump with a couple of feet of edge visibility.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow does falling, stained water after heavy rain change smallmouth fly selection on the Susquehanna?Brian Shumaker sizes up to bigger, darker streamers with more flash as visibility drops moving off the bank, favoring Half and Half and Clouser Minnow patterns in size two and one. Color choices lean toward chartreuse and chartreuse-yellow with gold flash, or black-and-olive and olive-and-orange combinations that show up well in off-color water.When should anglers fish topwater poppers versus switch to streamers in low-visibility conditions?Poppers still work tight along the bank, where roughly a foot and a half of visibility typically remains even in stained water. As anglers move out five feet or more from the bank and lose that visibility, Shumaker shifts to streamers, then moves back to a full topwater program once the river fully clears.How does water clarity affect casting distance for Susquehanna smallmouth?During the low, gin-clear conditions before the recent rain, Shumaker often needed anglers to make consistent 40-foot+ casts to reach fish without spooking them. With some color back in the water, he can now position anglers closer to productive water, making the cast easier without sacrificing effectiveness.What fly line does Brian Shumaker use for streamer fishing in these conditions?Shumaker fishes his streamer program on an intermediate line rather than a more aggressive sinking option, keeping the same line even as he adjusts fly size and color for changing water clarity.When is Brian Shumaker's guide calendar open for fall smallmouth trips?Shumaker has open dates in late September and more availability through October before heading to Texas in November to chase redfish. Anglers can reach him by phone or text or through the Susquehanna River Guides website to book a fall trip.Allen Rupp's East Tennessee Tying ClassesOn August 21st and 22nd, Allen is teaching three schools at Tailwaters Fly Company in Bluff City, Tennessee.Friday, August 21, 5:30-7:30 PM: Dave's NearNuff Sculpin SchoolSaturday, August 22, 9:00-11:00 AM: Dave's NearNuff Crayfish SchoolSaturday, August 22, 3:00-5:00 PM: Whitlock's Bass Bug SchoolDon't forget to use ARTICULATEFLY at check out!Related ContentS8, Ep 56 - Topwater Tactics: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania Smallmouth ReportS8, Ep 52 - Hot Days and Night Bites: Brian Shumaker's Guide to Pennsylvania Smallmouth FishingS8, Ep 44 - The Legacy of Classic Flies: Allen Rupp's Insights on Timeless PatternsS8, Ep 43 - Smallmouth Strategies and Seasonal Shifts: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania ReportConnect with Our GuestFollow Brian on Facebook and Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

This episode was originally published on August 6th, 2021. This week my guest is Colby Trow [38:08] of Mossy Creek Fly Fishing, one of the best smallmouth bass anglers I know. Colby talks about successful techniques in catching these critters in late summer, when they can be harder to catch than earlier in the season. The good news is that it's one of the best times to catch them on a surface fly like a popper or hair bug, which is always the most fun. In the Fly Box this week, we have the following questions and tips from listeners: A listener who makes the point that it's quicker to land trout on light tippets with a Euro rod. Can I fish carp flies with an indicator? Are treble hooks more harmful than single point barbless hooks? What do I do when trout take my hopper patterns deep? Should I leave the fly in them? I have trouble catching smallmouths in clear water. Any suggestions? Where do you store your leader between fishing trips? A tip from Sam, fishing manager at Orvis Houston, on catching redfish in dirty water. What are the advantages and disadvantages in using a pedestal vise as opposed to a C-clamp? How do I choose which size hair stacker to use? How can I fish size 18-22 nymphs in four feet of fast water? A suggestion for using 7 1/2-foot leaders in small streams in the Driftless Region. Can I put a 7-weight sinking line on my 5-weight rod? If I am catching trout in small mountain streams where the water is cold enough, do I need to worry about them moving downstream into warmer temperatures after I release them? How many phone calls and questions do you get per week? When I switch from Euro nymphing to my regular trout rod, I keep breaking off fish. Is this normal?

Episode 184 of the Award Travel 101 podcast featured Cameron Laufer and April Rose recapping their recent trips to Greece while also covering the latest points and miles news. The episode opened with a discussion of a community post about whether it was worth paying to keep a small British Airways Avios balance from expiring, with members offering a variety of creative solutions. News included American Express adding Leading Hotels of the World as a Membership Rewards transfer partner, new Alaska Mileage Plan redemption opportunities on Philippine Airlines, American Airlines adding Oman Air award bookings, and tighter access rules for Chase Sapphire Lounges. Cameron and April also shared recent credit card approvals and upcoming travel plans before diving into the main topic.The Greece recap focused on how each host used points, miles, and travel perks to maximize their trips.

Morning Coffee, Stoneleigh Scores & Late-Summer Golf Goals | FairwayFit Fit Golf PodcastBrad and Greg record a morning coffee episode as summer winds down, discussing golf, the end-of-break mindset, and school scheduling. They recap their weekly round at Stoneleigh with friend Markina, noting how punishing the course is and how rough and bounces can change outcomes. Brad posts a clean 73 (35–38) with strong fairway stats, while Greg, hindered by a broken pinky toe and lost balls, shoots 91 despite improving on the back nine; the season points lead grows to 17–2 with one week left, prompting talk of a “blind Hail Mary” like a called hole-in-one and a needed 70s round. They also check in on fitness and golf goals, including mobility and lifting, handicap progress, and late-summer positivity levels around 6–7.00:00 Blind Hail Mary Bet00:17 Podcast Welcome01:13 Summer Grind Talk03:35 Stormy Round Reset05:17 Stoneleigh Match Setup05:41 Greg Front Nine Struggles07:58 Brad's Clean 3509:25 Back Nine Swing11:05 Greg's 91 Breakdown12:36 Golf's Crazy Bounces13:50 Calling the Blind Ace14:35 Scoring Challenge Rules15:09 Swing Tweaks and Contact17:45 Late Summer Goals Check18:08 Fitness Progress Update19:07 Chasing 70s and Handicap21:56 Practice Plans and Positivity23:01 Injury Update and Home Gym24:18 Breaking 70 and Birdies26:36 Stats Review and Season Outlook29:03 Wrap Up and Next EventsCheck us out: Follow FairwayFit Golfwww.FairwayFitGolf.comYoutube:@FairwayFitGolfPodcastTwitter: @FairwayFitGolfIG: @FairwayFitGolfTik Tok: @FairwayFitGolf
