Tight Lines May, 2013 May, 2013 Tight Lines Andy Harrison, Editor ([email protected]) http://www.santaluciaflyfishers.com President’s Letter by Lew John Gierach: Going fishing when you told your family you Leichter wouldn't is a dangerous gambit, but if you don't catch hell now and then for being irresponsible and shirking your responsibilities you're not really a fisherman in the finest sense. SEASON OPENER: Finally we can start heading for those waters that have been closed to us. While not as bad as in past years because several waters are open year around I'm looking forward to having more venues to fish. Chasing surf perch in the winter and bass, pan fish, etc. in the spring is fun—now it's time to head back to the mountains. We'll kick things off with a Hume Lake/Sequoia creeks outing from May 2nd to 5th (see page 6 for info). While I'm thinking about it take a moment to read the article (page 4) on wading safety. It contains very good info for those new to the sport and is a good reminder to those at the other end of the curve who tend to forget about these things. SLFF WEBMASTER NEEDED: Our website is one of our primary sources of new members and with our newsletter is our vehicle to communicate to our members. We need someone; our website is actually maintained by Dave Baldwin. Our webmasters job then is to be the interface between the club and Dave and work with committees and members to keep the information on our website fresh and current. Contact me if you would be interested MAY MEETING: Greg Vinci will be our guest speaker. His program will be on the Eastern Sierras. (See next page for more info.) SAVE THE DATES: May 2nd: Fly tying 6:30pm at SLO Odd Fellows Hall. May 2nd-5th: Hume Lake Sequoia creeks outing (page 6). Contact David Holmes or Lew Leichter. May 9th: Board of Directors meeting 5PM at Margie's. 6:30 General meeting featuring Greg Vinci. May 11th: SLFF garage sale 9-12 at David Holmes’ (see page 3). May 18th: David Holmes knot tying session (see page 2). May 25th-26th: Shad outing to the American River (see page 7). Contact Rich Chubon. Sept 20-22nd, 2013 SWCFFF Faire in Mammoth (1 SLFF Tight Lines Newsletter – MAY 2013 Thursday, May 9th, 2013 at 6:30pm Margie’s Diner, 1575 Calle Joaquin, SLO Guest Speaker: Greg Vinci Program: “California Trout Highway-- Fly fishing the Hwy 395 corridor (between Greenville NV and Bishop). After twenty one years as the owner of Sierra Pacific Products, where he innovated many popular fly fishing tackle and accessories products, Greg sold the business in 2010. Since then he has been able to re-establish a relationship with his first loves, writing and photography that can be now seen in many fly fishing and outdoor magazines such as Fly Fisherman, American Angler, Flyfishing & Tying Journal, Salmon & Steelhead Journal, Northwest and Southwest Fly Fishing magazines, California Fly Fisher, Sierra Heritage and Runner’s World. His photography has been on the covers of California Fly Fisher, Fly Fishing & Tying Journal, and Sierra Heritage. He also has kept his foot in the door of the fly business, by continuing to develop fly tackle product lines on a consultancy basis for clients in the fly tackle industry. In 2011 his product Insta-Set Indicators was selected by Field & Stream magazine as the best fly tackle accessory of the year! One of his most recent endeavors has been to develop the California-FlyFishing.com web site which is a portal to California's most popular waters. As a signature fly tier for Umpqua Feather Merchants, the fly tackle industry’s most prominent fly manufacturer, he has developed fly patterns that can be found in most fly shops around the country. Knots, Leaders, Tippet and Lines Class To Be Held May 18 All the flyfishing skill in the world, and the best equipment, will be of little use if your tackle system fails the next time you have a big fish on. So, it’s a good idea to focus on the skills needed to minimize the chances of that happening, especially when you’ve invested so much time and money in the rest of your gear and skills. On May 18 (a Saturday), at 9:00 AM at his home (63 Benton Way, SLO), Dave Holmes will be leading a class where we’ll discuss and demonstrate a few of the old and new knots which are most practical and useful for fly fishing. In addition, we’ll talk about line, leader and tippet selections. As a part of the class, we’ll think about knot choices, the factors that go into knot selection and proper tying techniques, along with choices of fluorocarbon v. mono. Perhaps most importantly, we’ll give you the techniques for you to select and test the knots you use, including a discussion of why the number of knots actually needed is surprisingly small. Our goal is to put you in a position where you can, on your own, evaluate and decide on proper knots (and related gear) to use in the future. We’ll also discuss web and other resources re knot tying and related topics, and will have some handouts for you to take home. Class size is limited to 10 students, so you should contact David ([email protected] - 805.550.9323) to reserve a place and for further information. Please bring a spool of 2x (or 4x, if you have good eyes!), and a pair of nippers or small scissors. –David Holmes (2 SLFF Tight Lines Newsletter – MAY 2013 Fly Tying THE KLINKHAMMER SPECIAL--A GREAT SEARCHING FLY FOR TROUT! by Jim Crescenzi The May Santa Lucia Fly Tying session will be on Thursday, May 2nd, at the Odd Fellows Hall in San Luis Obispo (6:30 – 8:00 PM). Bernard Pieters will lead the session, tying a ―Klinkhammer Special‖. Our members will enjoy tying this pattern, and particularly fishing with it. According to Skip Morris, Fly Tying Made Clear and Simple II – Advanced Techniques (quoting a few interesting sentences of his introduction to the pattern): ―I suspect that the Klinkhammer Special is a hit fly mainly for the obvious reason – it catches trout – but partly because it represents to fly tiers a straightforward sort of entryway into emerger patterns with parachute hackles‖. ―Hans van Klinken created the Klinkhammer and considers it an imitation for both mayflies and caddisflies when tied in various sizes and colors.‖ ―The Klinkhammer is designed to rest on its hackle, with its abdomen submerged – the suggestion of an insect in an early stage of emergence, wings up and legs free of the split top of a shuck that still contains most of the body.‖ Quoting Dick Talleur, Trout flies for the 21st Century: ―It’s become a go-to fly for me, and I carry it in several sizes and colors. A fishing tip: Apply flotant to only the hackle and wing post, so that the body of the fly hangs beneath the surface‖. Schollmeyer & Leeson in Flies for Western Super Hatches show a ―Klinkhammer Female Trico‖ pattern, which further supports the versatility of the pattern. My favorite tying video on this fly is ―Fly Tying with Hans: Klinkhammer Special‖ of Dakota Angler & Outfitter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQwM70MzgVo), from which I have taken the photo of the fly used for this article. Paul Crafts led in April tying with ―Joe’s Hopper‖, which will certainly see good use this summer. Our session for June will be led by Rich Chubon tying the Pheasant Tail Nymph, which may well be the most-used nymph pattern for trout. There are a surprising variety of versions of this fly, and Rich will provide valuable tips on tying this ―not as simple as it looks‖ fly. Tied properly, it can be amazingly productive. We will take a break in July and not have a tying session then (There are other things to do on July 4th!). Annual SLFF Garage Sale/Swap Meet - May 11 This year the SLFF Annual "Garage Sale" will be at David Holmes' house (63 Benton Way – SLO, 805-550-9323) on May 11, beginning at 9AM and ending at Noon. On offer will be a selection of gently used and still serviceable fly fishing gear and related items, all at far lower prices than you might pay at retail. Often, even those members selling gear find items for sale by other members, which they can't live without! Buyers should bring small bills, if at all possible, and possibly (cont…) (3 SLFF Tight Lines Newsletter – MAY 2013 checkbooks - credit cards will not be used. Sellers should: Identify the gear clearly with a tag or label showing the name of the seller and the asking price. If you have more than a few things, bringing a card table or similar to display them will be helpful. Bring change and/or be prepared to accept checks. Sellers should remain present as long as they have items for sale. Call David if you have any questions. MORE MEMBER NEWS: This from Gaye Holman: ―I must admit I miss you and the gang. I have been working at the solar fields in California Valley and my shifts are Wed to Sun 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. So I don't have a life anymore. I hope all is well with you and keep me in touch with the latest.

  • Fishing Regulations JANUARY - DECEMBER 2004
    WEST VIRGINIA Fishing Regulations JANUARY - DECEMBER 2004 West Virginia Division of Natural Resources D I Investment in a Legacy --------------------------- S West Virginia’s anglers enjoy a rich sportfishing legacy and conservation ethic that is maintained T through their commitment to our state’s fishery resources. Recognizing this commitment, the R Division of Natural Resources endeavors to provide a variety of quality fishing opportunities to meet I increasing demands, while also conserving and protecting the state’s valuable aquatic resources. One way that DNR fulfills this part of its mission is through its fish hatchery programs. Many anglers are C aware of the successful trout stocking program and the seven coldwater hatcheries that support this T important fishery in West Virginia. The warmwater hatchery program, although a little less well known, is still very significant to West Virginia anglers. O West Virginia’s warmwater hatchery program has been instrumental in providing fishing opportunities F to anglers for more than 60 years. For most of that time, the Palestine State Fish Hatchery was the state’s primary facility dedicated to the production of warmwater fish. Millions of walleye, muskellunge, channel catfish, hybrid striped bass, saugeye, tiger musky, and largemouth F and smallmouth bass have been raised over the years at Palestine and stocked into streams, rivers, and lakes across the state. I A recent addition to the DNR’s warmwater hatchery program is the Apple Grove State Fish Hatchery in Mason County. Construction of the C hatchery was completed in 2003. It was a joint project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the DNR as part of a mitigation agreement E for the modernization of the Robert C.

  • Why Fly Fishing? Fly Fishing Is One of the Few Styles of Fishing Where You Can Have a Good Time Without Ever Catching a Fish. It
    Why Fly Fishing? Fly fishing is one of the few styles of fishing where you can have a good time without ever catching a fish. It’s a type of fishing where casting can be as much fun as catching. Catching fish on the fly isn’t about quantity. It’s about the quality of the experience. The attention to detail and technique make fly fishing one of the most artistic forms of angling. Watching someone who has mastered the fly rod is like seeing poetry in motion. Flies can be tied that are so realistic you can’t tell the difference between what’s fake and what’s real, and in many instances neither can the fish. Perhaps more than any other method, fly fishing requires a certain degree of skill in order to be successful, and developing that skill is where the true satisfaction lies. Learning to cast with precision is considerably more complicated than using conventional spinning or bait casting equipment. Imparting action to the lure is also more involved. And finally, hooking and playing a fish is unlike using any other type of tackle. The appeal of fly fishing doesn’t stop there. Tying your own flies either on or off the water can be an extremely rewarding experience. Imagine identifying the prey that a fish is feeding on, then having the ability to create something using artificial material that looks identical. Very few experiences in angling measure up to catching a fish on something you make yourself. In specific situations, fly fishing can be the most effective way to present an artificial.

  • The Ultimate Fly Fishing Check List
    The Ultimate Fly Fishing Check List Over 80 fly fishing items to check-off before you head out to the river. Ugh! I forgot my nail knot tool! Have you ever been standing in the middle of a river and realized you forgot something? Or you’re 2 hours from home and remember you forgot the oars to the drift boat? You could say these problems are the makings of great stories, but I’m here to tell you, I want my stories to be about fish. At the bottom of this post I’ve attached what I’m calling the ULTIMATE FLY FISHING CHECKLIST. It can be conveniently downloaded as a .PDF and printed off. If you’re starting the season out, do some practice casting. This gets the muscle memory going. You want to make your first cast to fish a good one. I’ve broken the checklist down into three sections “Essential”, “General Fishing” and “Optional” of fly fishing gear you may need for an outing. For the Essential Fly Fishing gear, I’ve included some reasoning for packing it. Some items will seem obvious, but maybe I can give you some tidbits to think about when compiling your fly fishing tackle. Essential Gear • Fishing license or permits. You should also check to see if the regulations have changed where you’re intending to fish. I know one of the rivers I fish has 6 different sets of rules as the river empties into Lake Huron. Luckily in the age of the interweb you can quickly look up changes.

Above Middle: Fishing tournament pin from Rangeley, Maine. Above Right: Orvis lake flies. The allure of fly fishing collectibles: Sport from the 1400s By Steve Woit The sport of fishing has more equipment associated with it than any other sport, and the development of fly fishing tackle has a long history. This means collectors can find all manner of items. The earliest written record for the first fly patterns dates back to 1460. There is also resurgence in the sport of fly fishing, meaning fly fishing tackle continues to sell well in antique shops and in specialized auctions. The success of regional fly fishing shows and the emergence of new bamboo fly rod makers and fly reel makers have also enlivened the field. The first rods made for sport fishing with the fly were introduced in the 1700s and the first true tackle makers emerged in the early 1800s, including the founding of Farlows in the UK in 1840 and of Hardy’s, perhaps the most famous global fly fishing brand, founded in 1872. The first American tackle maker, Orvis, was founded in 1856.

  • Regulations Summary 2019
    WEST VIRGINIA FISHINGRegulations Summary 2019 wvdnr.gov From the Director Last year the DNR released an updated, online interactive map that provides valuable information on all aspects of fishing and hunting adventures. DNR personnel are continuing to update information and produce new, useful maps. After hearing about the need from anglers in an online survey, DNR personnel collected lake depth data and processed new bathymetry maps for 35 lakes across the state. These maps are now available on the interactive fishing map and downloadable to print or take with you on your mobile device. Also, anglers can now access the real-time streamflow conditions from the U.S. Geological Survey on our interactive fishing map. The real-time information allows anglers to check on flow and make decisions about whether fishing conditions are ideal before heading out to a stream or river. Visit wvdnr.gov/gis for more details and links to the interactive map and other map pages. You helped fund this project through the Sport Fish Restoration Program, using excise taxes on selected fishing equipment and boat fuel. I encourage you to take advantage of West Virginia’s abundant natural resources and go fishing every chance you get. And take a friend or family member with you. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Stephen S. McDaniel, DNR Director DISTRICT OFFICES Main Office - South Charleston, WV 25303 324 4th Avenue Fish Management − Mark T.
