Fly Fishing Humor………… NEWSLETTER wmflyfishing.com Established 1996 P.O. Box 2187, Pinetop, AZ 85935 January 20155 WMFFC Mission Statement: The Mission Statement of the White Mountain Fly Fishing Club is: “To assist in the development and maintenance of fly fishing opportunities and to promote and participate in fly fishing in its many forms." We support the practice of “Catch and Release.” We support the use of barbless hooks and harmless netting-and-release practices. Fish should never be held out of water for longer than you can hold your breath. “Tight Lines” — President's Column — “Shootouts” As a fly fisherman, there will always be a time when one wants to buy or upgrade to new equipment. (I.e. rods, reels, fly line, waders, etc.) Without having to subscribe to half a dozen fly fishing magazines, one easy way evaluate new gear is to use the internet and look for various websites that do “shootouts”. A fly fishing equipment shootout is a review, test, challenge, or opinions made by a panel of experts or professionals of a large grouping of particular items by make and then ranking them in order of overall performance. The ranking outcomes are often highly subjective but generally useful. What is very useful to most everyone is the technical descriptions of the items along with costs. This knowledge will help in understanding what we should be looking for in quality, even if we don’t choose the top-of-the-line items. Below are some links to equipment shootouts that should keep you busy reading on snowy days.

Below are some pics that were sent in. …. Bill Langdon’s nice fish at Becker Dennis Jones …Cold weather gear employed at Becker 3 .. DJ: Yes! Another nice fish DJ’s nice Cutthroat ……………..... Fly Fishing Question of the Month ……………..... Question: It looks like most of us are done fly fishing for the year. What are some of the best ways to store your fly fishing gear for the winter? Answer: 1. Rods: Wash them thoroughly with the damp cloth, or even take them into the shower with you. You can use an old toothbrush to lightly scrub the hardware, making sure all the grit is out of the reel-seat threads and anywhere else in the seat. Scrubbing the cork will remove a lot of the nasty color you’ve added over the year. There is some cork cleaning products (wonder cloth) on the market that you can also use. Completely dry the rod. Some people swear by wiping it down with “pledge” or “fly line dressing”, and then put it back in its sock and tube. Lay the tubes horizontally, and if you don’t fear mice or other vermin, leave the end caps off the tubes to allow the rods to “breathe” and to ensure heat or moisture doesn’t build up inside. Note: if you own a bamboo rod, store it in its sock in a vertical position in a dry location. 2. Reels: Wash them thoroughly, taking them apart to ensure you’ve gotten any dirt, salt, or other gunk removed. Use soapy water and a toothbrush. Rinse and then dry thoroughly, making sure you turn the reel parts several times during drying to make sure all the water gets out. Store the reel in its bag, but before you do so, back the drag off completely to take pressure off the drag materials. Check with your reel manufacturer for any other points. Some reel manufacturers like you wipe internal moving parts with a light oil… however, some manufactures do not. 3. Lines: Take them off the reel spool, clean with the manufacturer’s recommended solution, and then wipe them clean with a rag. Check for damage to the line and make any replacements as necessary. Put them back on the spool. 4. Waders and boots: Air them out completely and make sure they are perfectly dry. Check for leaks and make any repairs. Hang for the winter. Boot-foot waders should be hung upside down by the boots. 5. Flies: Open all your fly boxes and let everything inside dry completely before storage. The important thing, as you’ve probably figured out, is to put everything away CLEAN & DRY! 4 ……………Fly Fishing Quote of the Month ……………. “If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fly rods”. – Doug Larson …………Fly Fishing Humor ………… The Elk Hare Emerger Version 1 Version 2 .. ... … … 5 Shop and Support These Advertisers PINETOP SPORTING GOODS (928) 367-5050 ….. …..

  • ”Shoes”: a Componential Analysis of Meaning
    Vol. 15 No.1 – April 2015 A Look at the World through a Word ”Shoes”: A Componential Analysis of Meaning Miftahush Shalihah [email protected]. English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University Abstract Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words. To reach the previous goal, componential analysis enables us to find out how words are used in their contexts and what features those words are made up. “Shoes” is a word which has many synonyms as this kind of outfit has developed in terms of its shape, which is obviously seen. From the observation done in this research, there are 26 kinds of shoes with 36 distinctive features. The types of shoes found are boots, brogues, cleats, clogs, espadrilles, flip-flops, galoshes, heels, kamiks, loafers, Mary Janes, moccasins, mules, oxfords, pumps, rollerblades, sandals, skates, slides, sling-backs, slippers, sneakers, swim fins, valenki, waders and wedge. The distinctive features of the word “shoes” are based on the heels, heels shape, gender, the types of the toes, the occasions to wear the footwear, the place to wear the footwear, the material, the accessories of the footwear, the model of the back of the shoes and the cut of the shoes. Keywords: shoes, meanings, features Introduction analyzed and described through its semantics components which help to define differential There are many different ways to deal lexical relations, grammatical and syntactic with the problem of meaning.

  • Wading for a Bite Fishing from Shore Can Create a Dilemma
    Wading for a Bite Fishing from shore can create a dilemma. You may not be able to cast far enough to reach some fish. One trick is wading closer. Chest waders or hip boots will help. Waders and hip boots come in two types— “stocking foot” or “boot foot.” “Boot foot” means the boot is part of the wader or hip boot. “Stocking foot” means a neoprene sock is sewn onto the wader or hip boot. A boot is laced up over top (just like putting shoes over your socks). Both work well, but stocking foot types are usually more comfortable. Waders and hip boots are made of different materials. 48 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • March/April 2014 PFBC Facebook: PaFishandBoat www.fishandboat.com Rubber – Waders or boots made from rubber are inexpensive and durable. They are good for walking through brush, but they offer no thermal protection from cold water. If they are folded during storage, older rubber boots can leak near creases. Neoprene – Neoprene waders or boots are durable. They are great for wading in cold weather, because neoprene traps body heat but can be less comfortable to wear. Breathable fabric – Breathable fabric allows air and body moisture to pass through but blocks water. It is comfortable for all day wear but won’t trap heat like neoprene. Waders and hip boots also have different types of soles and choosing the right one can be an important decision. Felt – Felt is great on rocky bottom streams. However, walking on muddy bottom streams or muddy banks can be slippery with felt soles.

  • Clean Your Gear!
    Clean Your Gear! Preventing the Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species www.paseagrant.org in Pennsylvania Tips for Anglers Recreational fishing provides both economic and social benefits to Pennsylvania. It is important that anglers take action to remove any “hitchhikers” from their equipment, boots, nets, clothing, and other gear that touched the water while fishing so that AIS are not spread to new locations. Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are non-native plants, animals, or pathogens that cause harm to the environment, the economy, and human or animal health. Preventing the spread of AIS is important because once introduced, these species disrupt ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, and cost communities huge amounts of time, money, resources, and lost revenue. AIS pose a significant threat to recreational and commercial fishing. Native fish populations, including both prey and game fish, are negatively impacted by AIS because they compete for food, reduce spawning habitat, feed on young of year, and impact water quality. Some species can become a serious nuisance to anglers by fouling fishing lines and stealing bait. Aquatic invasive plants also impact fishing because they clog aquatic habitats, limit access to good fishing spots, and make navigation nearly impossible. Because anglers often travel great distances to fish at different lakes Photo courtesy of Rob Carr, Associated Press. and streams, unwanted species can be unintentionally transported and Robert Cousins of Arlington, Va., scrubs his introduced. Hitchhikers can attach themselves to equipment, clothing, boots, and boats felt soled waders at a wader wash station and move from lake to lake. Therefore it is before fishing for trout.

  • June 7, 2019 the Honorable Robert
    June 7, 2019 The Honorable Robert Lighthizer United States Trade Representative 600 17th Street Northwest Washington, D.C. 20508 Re: Hearing on Section 301 Proposed Actions on China’s Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property, and Innovation (Docket No. USTR-2019-0004) Dear Ambassador Lighthizer: The sportfishing industry requests that sportfishing equipment, including products under heading 9507 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States and any other products subject to the federal excise tax on fishing equipment, be excluded from the Section 301 Tariff List. The tariff would not be practicable, and it would cause disproportionate economic harm to most of our industry. The American Sportfishing Association (ASA) represents the sportfishing industry and the entire recreational fishing community. This audience encompasses all the fishing tackle manufacturers and related business associated with recreational fishing, including the almost 50 million Americans that enjoy fishing each year. Since 1933, our association has represented not only the companies that make the rods, reels, lines and lures that anglers need to catch fish, but also the tackle boxes and fishing nets, waders and bobbers, sunglasses and boat shoes, marine electronics, boats and motors. As an industry we understand the position of President Trump regarding the current trade relations with China and we support realigning our trade agreements to correct the unfair trade practices, including the treatment of intellectual property. However, we are deeply concerned about the impacts of these proposed tariffs on all the manufacturers who attempt to provide a service to what the public calls its favorite pastime – fishing.
