Fly Fishing Lodge Setting
This Month's Meeting - Wednesday, January 10, 2018 - Manuel's Tavern This Month's Presentation Rus Schwausch of EPIC Angling & Adventure will tell us about his two fishing destinations-of-a-lifetime located on the Alaska Peninsula - Alaska Wilderness SAFARI and Alaska Wilderness OUTPOST. Each experience will take you far away from paved roads and the typical structured Alaska fly fishing lodge setting... there are no fine paintings and no fancy carpet at these fishing camps. Rus has been fishing, adventuring and guiding in Alaska since 1995. Little did he know that his first trip to Alaska back then, on a 100 mile unguided float trip with his buddies, would send his life in a completely new direction. He describes himself as "a former engineer, turned fishing guide, turned outfitter." Plus, he's a Wilderness First Responder and U.S. Coast Guard licensed. Upcoming Programs February - Capt. Matt Miles http://mattmilesflyfishing.com/ March - Steve Galletta http://bighornangler.com/ April - TBA May - Landon Mayer http://landonmayer.com/ June - Jeff Currier https://www.jeffcurrier.com/ Great Raffle Prizes SPECIAL RAFFLE Enter to win our special raffle. Is it a guided trip...a new fly rod...the only way to find out is to come to this month's meeting! Last month's presenter, Martin Carranza donated 2 free guided days on Miami's Biscayne Bay, a $1,200 value, for the special raffle. Congratulations to Mark Stevens, the lucky winner! REGULAR RAFFLE There will be 11 winners in our regular raffle who can choose an item from the table filled with fly- fishing gear. -
Newsletter of the Cohutta Chapter of Trout Unlimited September 2008
ar September 2008 Newsletter of the Cohutta Chapter of Trout Unlimited Lines from the Leader "RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED". Next time you see Jeff please thank Well October will be the ending of our fiscal year, him for his efforts to make this event special for so time seems to fly by faster these days than it used many people. to. It’s like when you are having great day fishing and before you turn around its time to go home. Ron Minick Well we all need to be thankful that we have been given the opportunity for those times that give us pleasure. It kind of makes you think back on how much you would have missed if you had never been introduced to fly fishing and this chapter. A lot of us had someone that took the time to show us the different skills that it takes to catch the fish and enjoy the sport. I imagine a lot of you have filled that role. Think of the young people that our members touched during trout camp. In my business you are trained to think about the term “RETURN ON INVESTMENT", its amazing the enjoyment someone will receive due to your What’s Inside effort to help them. Tony gave me a report a couple of days ago on the service hours that our Lines from the Leader P. 1 chapter has put in this year. The total hours as of Calendar of Events P. 2 August 31 was 901, so by the time we record our Stream of the Month Reports P. -
A Fish Story Martin Weir
A Publication of the Texas Flyfishers Volume 27 / Issue 1 July 2007 A Fish Story Martin Weir One summer day back when I was but a young lad, I went out fishing in Big Sugar Creek, which was a small creek near our house in Pineville, Missouri. I was fishing for smallmouth bass with an inexpensive fiberglass rod and spincast reel spooled with 6 pound test monofilament. I was using an artificial lure fisherman even back in those days, so my lure of choice was a small swimming lure called a “Lazy Dazy”, which my grandfather had turned me on to. While wading downstream, I noticed a cool brush of water against my legs in the otherwise warmer creek water. I backtracked the cooler water until I traced it to a small spring which ran into the creek. The spring ranged from about ten to twelve feet in width. An eight foot limestone bluff formed the left bank of the spring and a brushy gravel bar formed the other bank. Since I couldn’t wade the brushy bank, I decided to walk along the top of the bluff and just “check things out”. Suddenly I saw a flash of color zip out from under the bluff and back under again. I stood there for a few minutes and then it flashed out again. Even though I had never seen a live rainbow trout something about the color of the fish suggested that this might indeed be a rainbow trout. Being that I couldn’t cast my “Lazy Dazy” in this scenario, I began to consider my options. -

The situation: Hurricane Joaquin’s arrival in an as-yet-unknown Page 2 intensity was imminent; ferry service to the mainland could be halted. At 5:00 A.M., the winds were screaming, and the rain was pelting down. Good Fight In the past three days of our four-day fishing trip, we’d caught no fish. From Brickyard to “Could we think about leaving?” I asked Patrick Ross, a steelhead the Acid Factory fishing guide from upstate New York and a friend. “Yes,” he answered, Page 4 adding vaguely, “We’ll see.” I failed, however, to effect a change in our departure plan. At Atlantic Salmon 7:00, we were back on the beach adjacent to a vacant Coast Guard Angling in station. Needless to say, no one else was there. But the wind was at our Connecticut back, helping whip the lines from our 13-foot-long two-handed fly rods Page 8 into the channel. The water rushes into or out of the channel, depending on the tide, out to the ocean or in to what the locals call the harbor. Our lures were three-inch-long feathers tied to smallish hooks. In the water, the feathers undulate, lifelike, with a sparkle, even more appealing, I thought, than real bait. -
