Jackson Region Fisheries Newsletter
WYOMING GAME AND FISH May 2011 DEPARTMENT Volume 8 Jackson Region Fisheries Newsletter Exploring the Greyback Once again the Jackson Regional Angler Newsletter is fea- turing a geographical region within the headwaters of the Snake River drainage. This year, the Greys River and Hoback River (commonly known as the Greyback) is receiving the attention. In the past, the areas we have explored have been wilderness areas, the Greyback is not within wilderness and therefore, offers a variety of different recreational opportunities for anglers and adventurists. From ATV’s to mountain bikes and horses to snowmachines, this area allows for a diversity of activities for everyone’s interests. Get out there and explore the Greyback! West Dell Drainage Inside This Issue: When the Skiing Gets Tough, ● The Tough go Fishing ● Flat Creek the Tough Go Fishing ● Essential Flies Winter fly fishing isn’t for everyone. When your rod ices up and you have to ● Take Me Fishing wear gloves to keep your hands from doing the same, it takes a special person to ● say, “let’s try the next hole”. Late winter and early spring however, have produced Exploring Greyback (Newsletter insert) some of the best dry fly fishing I have seen on the Snake River. Why? Because, from February through April, Winter Stoneflies (Family: Capniidae) begin to hatch in large numbers. These small invertebrates spend most of their life cycle embedded in the substrate at the bottom of the river. Locally, the dry hatch peaks on the first calm days of the year when the air temperature exceeds 40 de- grees.

IFFF FLY TYING GROUP Fly Tying Skills Awards Program
FLY TYI NG GROUP IFFF FLY TYING GROUP Fly Tying Skills Awards Program Produced by the International Fereration of Fly Fishers, Fly Tying Group as an adaptation of the Guild Awards Scheme of the UK Fly Dresser’s Guild. Why an IFFF Fly Tying Skills Award Program? The IFFF Fly Ting Group exists to preserve, enhance and support the art of fly tying. Our focus generally is two- fold: sharing of information and teaching so that more people may take an interest in our craft and become more knowledgeable and accomplished tiers. The purpose of the IFFF Fly Tying Group is as follows: “The FTG is dedicated to the preservation, enhancement and support of the art of fly tying as a historic element of the fly-fishing experience. Archiving of historic documents, development of educational and instructional materials, teaching and demonstration are fundamental to perpetuating the art of fly tying for anglers who fish with the artificial fly.” For individuals to improve as tiers, they need to be able to measure their progress. The IFFF Fly Tying Skills Awards Program provides IFFF members with the opportunity to develop or reinforce their fly tying skills and test their progress against a consistent, standard at three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Program Overview and Goals This International Federation of Fly Fishers (IFFF) Fly Tying Skills Awards Program is an educational program for all IFFF members who care to take part. The Awards Program is managed for and on behalf of the IFFF by Fly Tying Group. The goal of the Awards Program is to encourage IFFF members to develop and improve their fly tying skills at their own pace through a structured learning plan with progressive goals and in so doing contribute to the purpose of the FTG.

Caddisfly by Ian Cox Caddis Belong to the Order Trichoptera Which Translates from the Original Greek As Hair Wing. So When We Ta
Caddisfly By Ian Cox Caddis belong to the order Trichoptera which translates from the original Greek as hair wing. So when we talk of an elk hair caddis we are committing the sin of tautology. Sedge is another name for caddis. They are found throughout South Africa and in all waters, from still to very fast flowing. For more on the caddis and its lifecycle see Caddis Fly. Most of the Caddis’ life is spent underwater as a larvae. Caddis larvae are either cased (which is when the larvae build a protective casing of debris around them) or the free living soft and squidgy larvae which don’t. Cased Caddis larvae are confined largely to the acidic streams of the Western and Southern Cape. In fact only one family of cased Caddis larvae is found outside these streams. They are the Pisuliidae and they construct a case out of twigs. They are also by far the largest member of the caddis having a case of some 2 to 2.5cm in length. Pisuliidae are found throughout South Africa in shady conditions generally where water is slow moving. It is unlikely that you are going to spend much time imitating cased Caddis larvae. For the most part when we imitate Caddis larvae we go for the soft squidgy ones. These do not get very big. They average around the 1 to 1.5 cm mark. South African’s are no strangers to fishing larvae imitations. Put simply the Czech Nymph much loved by those who pursue yellows on the Vaal, while originally a shrimp imitation, has morphed into a case-less caddis larvae.
