  • Jackson Region Fisheries Newsletter
    WYOMING GAME AND FISH May 2011 DEPARTMENT Volume 8 Jackson Region Fisheries Newsletter Exploring the Greyback Once again the Jackson Regional Angler Newsletter is fea- turing a geographical region within the headwaters of the Snake River drainage. This year, the Greys River and Hoback River (commonly known as the Greyback) is receiving the attention. In the past, the areas we have explored have been wilderness areas, the Greyback is not within wilderness and therefore, offers a variety of different recreational opportunities for anglers and adventurists. From ATV’s to mountain bikes and horses to snowmachines, this area allows for a diversity of activities for everyone’s interests. Get out there and explore the Greyback! West Dell Drainage Inside This Issue: When the Skiing Gets Tough, ● The Tough go Fishing ● Flat Creek the Tough Go Fishing ● Essential Flies Winter fly fishing isn’t for everyone. When your rod ices up and you have to ● Take Me Fishing wear gloves to keep your hands from doing the same, it takes a special person to ● say, “let’s try the next hole”. Late winter and early spring however, have produced Exploring Greyback (Newsletter insert) some of the best dry fly fishing I have seen on the Snake River. Why? Because, from February through April, Winter Stoneflies (Family: Capniidae) begin to hatch in large numbers. These small invertebrates spend most of their life cycle embedded in the substrate at the bottom of the river. Locally, the dry hatch peaks on the first calm days of the year when the air temperature exceeds 40 de- grees.

  • Fly Fishing Lodge Setting
    This Month's Meeting - Wednesday, January 10, 2018 - Manuel's Tavern This Month's Presentation Rus Schwausch of EPIC Angling & Adventure will tell us about his two fishing destinations-of-a-lifetime located on the Alaska Peninsula - Alaska Wilderness SAFARI and Alaska Wilderness OUTPOST. Each experience will take you far away from paved roads and the typical structured Alaska fly fishing lodge setting... there are no fine paintings and no fancy carpet at these fishing camps. Rus has been fishing, adventuring and guiding in Alaska since 1995. Little did he know that his first trip to Alaska back then, on a 100 mile unguided float trip with his buddies, would send his life in a completely new direction. He describes himself as "a former engineer, turned fishing guide, turned outfitter." Plus, he's a Wilderness First Responder and U.S. Coast Guard licensed. Upcoming Programs February - Capt. Matt Miles http://mattmilesflyfishing.com/ March - Steve Galletta http://bighornangler.com/ April - TBA May - Landon Mayer http://landonmayer.com/ June - Jeff Currier https://www.jeffcurrier.com/ Great Raffle Prizes SPECIAL RAFFLE Enter to win our special raffle. Is it a guided trip...a new fly rod...the only way to find out is to come to this month's meeting! Last month's presenter, Martin Carranza donated 2 free guided days on Miami's Biscayne Bay, a $1,200 value, for the special raffle. Congratulations to Mark Stevens, the lucky winner!

Next time you see Jeff please thank Well October will be the ending of our fiscal year, him for his efforts to make this event special for so time seems to fly by faster these days than it used many people. to. It’s like when you are having great day fishing and before you turn around its time to go home. Ron Minick Well we all need to be thankful that we have been given the opportunity for those times that give us pleasure. It kind of makes you think back on how much you would have missed if you had never been introduced to fly fishing and this chapter. A lot of us had someone that took the time to show us the different skills that it takes to catch the fish and enjoy the sport. I imagine a lot of you have filled that role. Think of the young people that our members touched during trout camp. In my business you are trained to think about the term “RETURN ON INVESTMENT", its amazing the enjoyment someone will receive due to your What’s Inside effort to help them. Tony gave me a report a couple of days ago on the service hours that our Lines from the Leader P. 1 chapter has put in this year. The total hours as of Calendar of Events P. 2 August 31 was 901, so by the time we record our Stream of the Month Reports P.

  • Journal of the Amerimn Museum of Fly Fishing
    Journal of the Amerimn Museum of Fly Fishing WINTER 2~03 VOLUME 19 NUMBER I Trout Memories and Pike Tales caught and released my first trout in April 1989 on the Beaverlull. My memory of this is pretty good, I think, Ialthough it's not as vivid as perhaps it should be. I know the date because my husband saved the black stonefly nymph and framed it in a shadowbox-an act of historical documentation close to the date of the actual event. When we lived in the D.C. area, we'd sometimes drive up to Big Hunting Creek, a favorite haunt of my high school days. I must have occasionally caught fish there, but I can't remember any particular fish. Maybe I didn't catch any. What I remember is being happy on the familiar creek, away from the city. What if I did vividly remember these fishing trips? Would I be right in their detail? How much of memory is what actual- ly happened, and how much of it is remembering the story we tell ourselves about what happened? How do the details change over time? Paul Schullery was doing a lot of fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park thirty years ago when he first began reading By noting the first published claim of pike not taking the about the sport's history. On the must-read list was Edward R. artificial fly as bait (Robert Venables, The Experience'd Angler, Hewitt, who, it turned out, had written quite the account of 1662), Frederick Buller makes the argument that people have fishing the park in the early 1880s.
