President's Message August 2021 Headwaters NEWSLETTER OF THE STANISLAUS FLY FISHERS President’s Message Hey, how about this lovely Valley summer weather? It’s looking like 105 today. It’s only 10:00 a.m. as I write this, and I think I’m inside for the day already. While this isn’t unusual weather for this time of year, it does pose questions about Dishing when it follows the extremely dry winter we had. A CHARTER With early season low water many of our streams that we would CLUB OF FLY normally Dish at this time of year are warming sooner than normal. If you are FISHERS on water warmer than 65 degrees, please call it a day and give the Dish a INTERNATIONAL break. Carry a thermometer and keep an eye on water temps.

With that said our next general meeting will be held on until September. September 14th at the Scout Hut in Riverbank.

We booked Crowley exceed $35 for a single, one- guide Ernie Gulley after hearing his Zoom presentation hosted by our year membership. friends at the Delta Fly Fishers. We booked a room at the Best Western in Bishop that put us about a 40 minutes from the lake. We heard that due to the reservation system in effect at Yosemite it was taking two hours, if not longer, to get through the entrance to the park as Hwy 120 would be our iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii most direct route to Bishop. With that news we elected to take Sonora iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Pass over to Hwy 395. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii That route had very light trafDic and of course phenomenal scenery. We enjoyed a leisurely, scenic ride down to Mammoth Lakes and decided to stop there for a little snack and a break from the Jeep. The weather was perfect for sitting outside and enjoying a beer and a little snack. I do not have the name of the establishment we stopped at but it was across the We’re on the Web! way from the Motel 6. We left Mammoth and headed to Bishop only to Dind very different iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii weather. It was 102 when we hit town. Ugh!

Ernie has a beautiful 22 foot Diberglass blue water boat with a 200 hp Honda outboard that is kept in immaculate condition. After introductions and guide paperwork we headed out onto the lake. Ernie’s Dishing equipment is also quality and exceptionally maintained. He is using an interesting deep system to Dish. We were indicator Dishing at about 32 feet deep. Come to the September meeting and I’ll detail that technique if you’re interested. We Dished hard from 6:30 to 11:30 for a half day outing. At about 11:30 the wind went from a pleasant zephyr to hurricane force in about two minutes it seemed. It was a mass exodus for the marina and within minutes the lake was empty of boats.

The Fly Box “BWO So/ Hackle” by Bud Heintz A couple of months ago Bud shared his pattern for a no-hackle BWO. This is his soft hackle version of a BWO. Soft hackles are simple to Dish. The whole idea is to cast your line downstream to the side and let the Dlies swing across the stream and down. Letting your line swing across the stream allows you to cover more water. As your Dlies swing across the currents, you follow the line with your rod until your line completes its swing. That’s it! They can also be dead drifted as well.

  • Fishing Flies from the Transkei
    Location: Enclave, East Cape Province, South Africa Republic of South Africa Government: Self-governing tribal Transvaal homeland Area: 16,910 sq. mi. Swaziland Population: 2,876,122 (1985) Capital: Umtata Orange Natal Free The World’s First Fishing Fly Stamps State Cape Province Lesotho Building a Business in South Africa In 1976, Mr. Barry Kent, his partners, and the Republic of Transkei Development Corporation built a fishing fly manufacturing Eastern Cape plant at Butterworth, Transkei, South Africa. Transkei Western Cape The company, named High Flies Ltd., was one of the most modern fishing-fly manufacturing plants in the world. Pricing, quality and clever product marketing proved to be very successful. By 1979 High Flies was employing more than 350 labor-intensive Transkeians, producing over 1,000 dozen flies each day. These flies are used mainly in fly-fishing for trout and salmon. The entire production was exported to countries where these fish are prolific: America, the British Isles, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scandinavia, and other European countries. An idea for promoting other Transkei industries was created by depicting fishing flies on postage stamps. The outcome produced a series of five sheets for each year from 1980 through 1984. Each sheet contains five different fly patterns arranged in se-tenant format. Although the last issue of these stamps appeared in 1984, the factory closed in 1983 due to a corrupt business partner and poor management by the South African/Republic of Transkei Development Corporation bureaucrats. Mr. Kent, along with approximately 390 local workers lost their jobs. Philatelic Specifications Designer: A. H.

  • The Fly Dresser's Guide to Classic Salmon and Sea Trout Flies
    The Fly Dresser’s Guide to Classic Salmon and Sea Trout Flies Compiled and written by Barry Grewcock 1 Preface This book is published as a result of the great success of my previous book “The Classic Salmon & Sea Trout Fly Compendium” which was published by David Carne. A great number of the purchasers of the “Compendium” contacted me to ask if I was thinking of producing a cheaper version containing only the patterns for the flies, as they were reluctant to have such a high quality & expensive book as a working copy. This is the result of those requests. I have omitted all of the photographs and the sections written by Dave Carne, restricting the scope to the various patterns I give the patterns in modern format for uniformity and to assist the fly dresser. Where possible I have recorded the name of the originator of the pattern in parenthesis after the fly name. For those who wish to read more about the fly’s history I give the author of the literature in which the fly is mentioned. Where none is given the information has been obtained by word of mouth or from examining antique flies. I have included a short biography of the more prominent fly dressers of yesteryear for interest. The bibliography gives some indication of the amount of angling literature I researched and can be used as a guide for further reading on the subject. It is worth checking all editions of a particular book, as there are sometimes changes to the patterns contained from one edition to the next.

  • Is Fishing Pressure Adversely Impacting Wild Trout Populations and the Quality of the Trout Fishery?
    Is fishing pressure adversely impacting wild trout populations and the quality of the trout fishery? Kylie Hall and Khageswor Giri Fisheries Victoria, DEDJTR, Agriculture Research, DEDJTR Aim: Determine usage patterns of anglers to assess the fishing pressure on ‘wild’ trout river fisheries in the Upper Goulburn basin. Background: Many of the waters upstream of Lake Eildon in the north-eastern region of Victoria (Goulburn River basin, Mansfield Shire) are important nursery streams for Lake Eildon and support ‘wild’ self-sustaining recreational fishing for trout. Determining the usage of these streams by anglers will enable an assessment of the impact of angler pressure and exploitation on these wild trout fisheries to assist in the management of these waters. Howqua River, north eastern Victoria. What we did: Targeted surveys were conducted on-site at Upper Goulburn basin rivers over the 2014–2015 trout season with questions on visitor demographics, preferences, avidity, catch and effort. The creel clerk completed 13 days of driving to popular wild trout stream locations, including the townships of Jamieson, Woods Point and Mansfield, and campsites adjacent to the Goulburn, Howqua, Jamieson, Delatite and Big rivers and Running Creek. Interviews were conducted with visitors and individuals engaging in possible fishing activity to provide indications of fishing pressure, fisher behaviour, fisher avidity and visitor preferences. Wild trout fishery anglers were interviewed to assist in determining whether fishing pressure is adversely impacting on wild trout populations in the Upper Goulburn basin. A tag reward program was established in a case-study river in the north-east of Victoria to understand the trout fishing rate of exploitation (tag returns).

  • Fly Tying Guide 7-6-2015
    INTERNET FLY TYING GUIDE WWW.Addresses for Videos, recipes, patterns and other Fly Tying related items Issue: 7/6/2015 Total guide references: 3,002 Author – Dennis Stead (Note: Fly Index in back of PDF) In January 2012, I was introduced to fly tying by a group of people that belonged to the Missouri Trout Fishermen’s Association (MTFA). I was hooked. I soon realized that flies to be tied came in all sizes, shapes, colors and names. Well I thought, maybe I would start collecting fly tying patterns (recipes) and put them in a data base in my computer. At first, I thought it would be easy. Then I found The Fisherman’s Handbook of Trout Flies by Donald DuBois. This was published in 1960, and it included a comprehensive identification list of 5,939 trout fly patterns. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time, I could not even guess how many new trout fly patterns (recipes) were added. Collecting fly tying patterns (recipes) was not the way to go. I watched fly tying DVD’s and thought that this was a great way to have the pattern (recipes) and also learn how to tie the fly pattern. Then one of the MTFA members suggested that I search for the fly tying patterns (recipes) on the Internet, especially YouTube. Have you ever searched YouTube for a fly tying video or the Internet for a fly tying recipe? If the answer is yes, then you know that both have more fly tying instructions on just about every pattern you have heard of.

Mark Rockwell has been on the forefront of the defense in California's "water wars," playing a key role in fighting efforts by agricultural interests to roll back the Endangered Species Act. Powerful Agribusiness interests continue pushing to loosen water restrictions that currently prevent them from dewatering major California rivers and killing off ESA-listed aquatic species, including runs of once abundant Pacific salmon, which desperately need more water in the rivers and whose populations have crashed in the last two years. Mark has been the VP Conservation for the Northern California Council, Federation of Fly Fishers, for the past 6+ years.
