  • Gone Fishing Overuse Injuries in Fly Fishing
    Gone Fishing Overuse injuries in fly fishing By Tamara Mitchell Fly fishing can be a leisure activity associated with a peaceful connection with nature. It might be unbelievable that such a relaxing activity can be associated with pain in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. In fact, fly fishing is a sport and is quite capable of producing overuse injuries. In this article, we will review research and cover how to prevent overuse injuries while fishing. If you are looking for excellent books on fly fishing and injury prevention, we suggest some in the Resources Section at the end of the article. There is also a Video Section at the end of the article with links and information on each of the videos referenced in the article. Traumatic Injuries As with all sports, there is a potential for injuries that occur suddenly and that can have devastating results. A fish hook in the eye, finger, or lip, fish bites, infections from any of these, and slipping on rocks are all ways that traumatic injuries can happen during fly fishing.1, 2 Nature presents lots of variables, you are flinging around a barbed hook, and you make fish pretty angry when you hook them, so there are many opportunities for mishaps. Although we certainly want you to be aware of these problems and to take proper care to prevent and treat this type of injury, but this article is devoted to the discussion of long-term injuries caused by repetitive strain. Overuse Injuries A large number of anglers start out watching somebody else fish, get hold of a rod at some point, and start casting as best as they can.

    month 2015 From the President President’s Message Happy New Year everyone! January Meeting I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday Youth Outreach season. Except for the brave(?) ice anglers, one might think we have entered the slow time of Outreach year meant for gear cleaning and purchase, fly tying and trip planning. If that is the case, Awards several ongoing and upcoming activities might be just the thing for you. From the Editor Our general meeting this month will take a Sustaining Donors look at some trip planning tips from one of the best in the business. And, both the Denver RMF Quick Links Fly Fishing Show and the International Dick Jefferies Sportsman Expo in Denver should provide you with more gear, technique and trip info than you can possibly need. In February we round things out with our annual Fly Tying Expo at the Fort Collins Senior Center. Of importance in the short term are; the deadline for submitting applications for Volunteer Awards and our need for coordinators and Sustaining Donor volunteers for this years revised structure to the Youth Day Camp. Both of these topics detailed in depth below. Stay Warm!

  • The Return of Tenkara Bernard WT Coetzee
    No 143, November 2011 PISCATOR The return of Tenkara Bernard WT Coetzee o cut a rich, long and very fascinating history short, over the centuries fly fishing has Tindependently evolved in different regions and cultures across the world. Most of us are accustomed to the so-called 'western style'; the traditional arrangement with rod, line and reel. This is the story of Tenkara, an ancient Japanese style of fly fishing, and why it affords the modern day fly fisher an unparalleled experience on the water. Tenkara strips fly fishing down to its bare essentials. No reel is used, only a rod, line and fly. The telescopic rods are typically long, 12-14ft, with a line which is essentially just a leader, as long as the rod. The leader is either of a traditional style, similar to a furled leader, or just a length of level fluorocarbon, and the rig terminates in tippet and fly. It has a pronounced and unique casting stroke, and one can land the fly with great delicacy, typically at short distances from the angler. The focus is on pure simplicity, to not to get bogged down by gear and different flies, but rather to focus on fly fishing technique, and how you as an angler relate to the very nature of the trout. It is hard to piece together Tenkara's development in Japan, mainly because it's all in Japanese. What is clear is that it has a long and rich history. The exact meaning of the word 'Tenkara' is unclear, but it is thought to mean 'from the skies' or 'from heaven' which might be a reference to how softly the fly lands on the water during presentation.

Rob is also a certified Tenkara USA guide and was one of the first Tenkara guides in Maryland. Rob has also been featured in the Baltimore Sun.

Rob will provide us with additional knowledge of how to utilize tenkara techniques on the Gunpowder or whatever river you may fish. This will be a fun and informative presentation.

Misa, a FFF, CCI, has an extended list of accomplishments in the fly fishing world ranging from teaching fly casting in Japan with Joan Wulff and the late Mel Kreiger, to her work with Casting for Recovery ®, Project Healing Waters™, and Trout Unlimited, Inc.™, to studying fly tying with Mary Dette and Poul Jorgensen.

She was president and founded World Fly Fishing Of Japan, where, she formed Fly Fishing Team Japan. As captain and member of Fly Fishing Team Japan for FIPS-Mouche World Fly Fishing Championship, she has fished in England, France, Spain, Slovakia, Sweden, Portugal, Finland, New Zealand, Scotland and Poland. Misa was honored as the First Woman An- gler during the World Fly Fishing Championship at Slovakia in 2004.
