He assumed office July 15, 2019 having extensive experience as a non-profit fundraiser. Welcome Patrick. Hope to see you in Albany, Oregon at the Northwest Fly Tiers and Fishing Exposition. Also at last years’ National Fair Executive Board we initiated the Fly Casting Challenge. The challenge is 3 levels of casting skills: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. If someone has achieved the Gold Level Skills Challenge, they can judge the challenge anywhere for any group. The Executive Board set this up for casting fun anywhere. You do not need to be a Certified Casting Instructor to enter. Come try your casting skills at the 2020 NW Expo and earn your Bronze, Silver, or Gold Skills Level certificate. At the local level, early preliminary planning for the 2020 NW Expo has begun. The first organizational meeting will be held in September. Several committee chair positions are available. We need volunteers to come help. Please contact me if you would like to help. Thank you, James Crislip Outings Report There is no outing for August and the Board has yet to decide on September’s outing. Our July outing to East Lake had to be changed due to campground closures in the area. We later found out that the campgrounds had been opened, but by then we had already committed to an alternate outing at Lost Lake in the Mt. Hood National Forest. We needed six people to sign up for the outing and we got 13, so the outing was on! It turned out to be highly successful despite the wind and the throngs of boaters and swimmers, dogs and kids who showed up in the afternoon to enjoy the day. The setting was beautiful and the fishing good. Chuck Cooney was disappointed that he didn’t catch two dozen fish but settled for a dozen-and-a-half. We Club members stop by for a photo after a successful day on all caught fish, but some had a little more difficult time the lake: Chuck Cooney, Paul Keefner, David Ruuhela and than others as the two stories below illustrate. The first Carson Taylor. is from Ralph Neighbor. He calls his story…. The Tale of Two Flies “It was the best of times…” Chuck, thanks for picking Lost Lake. Had never been to this Lost Lake before. (Oregon has 9 Lost Lakes, 3 Lost Creeks and 1 Lost River.) Didn’t get a chance to talk with you today, so thought I’d write a report. Got to the launch a little after 9:00. Said hello to Bob Pryor. You were already out on the lake. I had decided to use my float tube today, kind of a relic, Mountain Trader that I got from Kauffmann’s back in the ‘80s. It’s seen a lot of waters. Anyway, after battling wind in the pontoon boat at Laurance Lake opted for the old standby. Glad I did. Butt makes a fine sea anchor and hands were free to attend to fishing non-stop. Used 9 foot Sage RPL 6 wt, Hardy Prince 5/6 loaded with Wulff Triangle Taper intermediate 6/7, furled leader with ~4 feet of 4X Umpqua flouro tippet. The two flies used are pictured, a bead head bugger dark green, brown wing, with olive marabou and root beer Crystal flash tail. And my old reliable lake fly, the six-pack—this one brown with a copper bead head. Started south from the boat ramp keeping the light water to the right and dark to the left. That seemed to be the sweet spot. Got lots of strikes and landed a few ~10 inchers. By the time I reached the south bay I began to wonder if they were only pulling on the marabou and avoiding the hook. Based on that assumption I switched to the six-pack and promptly hooked another little one. The next fish hooked behaved differently. It was heavy and wanted to go a different direction, and did so with authority. After a number of jumps and runs he came to the net, but my net was too small. I tried three times to lift him onto the apron. The net opening is 16” and there was a good 6- 8” of tail hanging out the back. He was a thick heavy fish, quite red, a steelhead in appearance. Proof that the good Lord looks after his fishermen, there were two men and two small boys in a boat nearby watching. One dad hollered over that I needed a bigger net and offered his. The fish was finally landed and released, to the youngsters’ dismay. I told them that the fish would just get bigger and they could catch him someday. I thanked them all and paddled away as the dad was schooling the boys in catch and release and the strange new way of fishing with a fly. I tooled on north keeping to the sweet spot getting lots of strikes and bringing in a few of the small guys. My bladder then forced me off the lake, quartering through the windy waves, the lake becoming wider and wider before I reached the ramp at around 1:30 . It was a good day to fish. Then there’s the other side of the coin. Sometimes things just don’t go as planned, even when you think you’ve accounted for all the contingencies. Galen Finn shares his story with us. He calls it…. A Brief Lesson from Lost Lake – Mt. Hood Sometimes it is easy to overlook the simplest things when going fishing. Take, for example, a reminder that was bestowed on me at our recent outing on Lost Lake – Mt. Hood. I was eager to get on the water early and rack up a huge total of fish for the day. After all, I hadn’t had many chances to fish this year due to an extra heavy schedule of other things going on. I launched my pontoon boat at the boat ramp with all due haste and double checked my rods, reels, flies, etc., made sure I had my inflater vest on, coffee and a Subway sandwich safely stowed in one saddlebag. I was off. Interesting to note that there was a slight but constant wind blowing already, at 7:00 in the morning. Not to worry. As things heated up it would calm down into one of those brilliant days despite the clouded overcast that obscured Mt. Hood. Things had to get better, it was July. So off I trolled over to the west side by the slide. It took much more effort than I remembered. and I had to resort to using my oars which is very unusual for me. I normally kick all the way. I did catch a decent rainbow while crossing which meant ditching the oars temporarily while I played the fish into the net.

The Crooked River flows are coming down (maybe just temporarily!?!); East Lake and Hosmer are open now too. The big salmonflies should be coming out on the lower Deschutes River about now and that makes it one of the premier rivers of choice at this time. If the rivers get really crowded, don't forget the lakes. We have an abundance of opportunities to fish stillwater in our area. If you went to Denny Rickards' program at last month's meeting, you heard him say that you can't learn to fish from a book - you need to put the hours in on the water. That's good advice - go fishing more! I love this time of the year! June also brings us to the BC trip. There are so many different lakes to explore within 50 miles of our camp that you could fish a different lake each day of our 8 days of fishing - for many years! If you are planning to go on the trip, and haven't talked with Gordon Chandler yet, you must do so as quickly as possible! You also need to get your money in to the treasurer before the trip.

Stripers on the Fly Eisenhower State Park, Lake Texoma Denison, TX – August 20 – 22, 2010 TWFF is gearing up to go another round with the stripers behind the dam at Eisenhower State Park. Our last visit there was December 2008 and the stripers were nowhere to be found. ARGHHHH!!!! After a busy 2009 summer of some of the local TWFFers catching record numbers of stripers, we are bringing the club back for another round of striper fishing; some scores just beg to be settled and this is one of them! Our outing headquarters will be at Eisenhower State Park and we will be renting the Recreation Cen- ter for our headquarters. Admittance to the park is free so be sure and tell them you are a member of Texas Women Fly Fishers when you enter the park. Anyone arriving early on Friday afternoon can join us at the Rec Center for some casting lessons. We should be there by noon on Friday. We’ve had some exciting developments about our Texoma outing since our June newsletter. We had mentioned that a notorious group of women fishers had been invited to join us at the outing and they have accepted our invitation. Joining us at Texoma will be the Dallas Bass’n Gals, a North Texas group of tournament fishing lady anglers. This group of lady anglers has been together since 1984 and they fish 9 tournaments a year. You can find more information about the group at their website: http://www.fishingworld.com/DallasBassNGals/.
