Topic - Fishing Techniques for Central PA Streams

Presenter - Jamie SanFilippo, TCO guide

I grew up fishing for warm water species on the Susquehanna River, local lakes, ponds, and creeks. I graduated from Penn State with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, where I played Softball and was the first female to box for Penn State University. Shortly after graduating, I picked up fly fishing and quickly joined local conservation groups and women fly fishing initiatives. I am a certified Fly Fishing Guide and Fishing Skills Instructor through the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. I am the current President of the Spring Creek Chapter of Trout Unlimited and a Streamside Mentor for the Veteran Service Program of Spring Creek TU. I stay busy by being involved with many fly fishing camps and programs for women and children of all ages throughout the year. As my mentor says, “always give back more to this sport than what you take.”
