    The Leader April 2020 The Newsletter of The Granite Bay Flycasters April 2020 http://gbflycasters.org Leader’s Line by TinaLyn Sell, GBF President I am going to keep this short and sweet this month. I have one board position to fill before the end of June. Eric Palmer, VP Membership, has been doing an amazing job the past several years, and has done his time. He has earned a break. If you have experience with Excel and would like to step up and help out the club, please email me or Eric to discuss this position and all the fun that comes with it. Just in case you have not heard, in light of the current health situation, GBF has followed the State mandate and canceled all club events until April 15th. This does not mean you cannot reduce your stress, anger, and fear, while increasing pleasant feelings and overall well being. How can I do that, you ask? With good ole’ nature and a fishout. There are three, yes 3, in the month of April alone. See, things are already looking brighter. Now, get out there and enjoy what GBF and Mother Nature have to offer. Fly Casting Clinics Scheduled for April, 2020 by John Hogg This is to announce GBF’s annual flycasting clinics. These clinics are appropriate for all skill levels of casters. If you are a novice, we will get you going; and if you are experienced, we will make you better. The clinics are conducted over two consecutive Saturdays—each day will offer new material.

  • 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.

    FLY TYI NG GROUP IFFF FLY TYING GROUP Fly Tying Skills Awards Program Produced by the International Fereration of Fly Fishers, Fly Tying Group as an adaptation of the Guild Awards Scheme of the UK Fly Dresser’s Guild. Why an IFFF Fly Tying Skills Award Program? The IFFF Fly Ting Group exists to preserve, enhance and support the art of fly tying.

The purpose of the IFFF Fly Tying Group is as follows: “The FTG is dedicated to the preservation, enhancement and support of the art of fly tying as a historic element of the fly-fishing experience. Archiving of historic documents, development of educational and instructional materials, teaching and demonstration are fundamental to perpetuating the art of fly tying for anglers who fish with the artificial fly.” For individuals to improve as tiers, they need to be able to measure their progress. The IFFF Fly Tying Skills Awards Program provides IFFF members with the opportunity to develop or reinforce their fly tying skills and test their progress against a consistent, standard at three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Program Overview and Goals This International Federation of Fly Fishers (IFFF) Fly Tying Skills Awards Program is an educational program for all IFFF members who care to take part. The Awards Program is managed for and on behalf of the IFFF by Fly Tying Group. The goal of the Awards Program is to encourage IFFF members to develop and improve their fly tying skills at their own pace through a structured learning plan with progressive goals and in so doing contribute to the purpose of the FTG.
