  • IFFF FLY TYING GROUP Fly Tying Skills Awards Program
    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. Our focus generally is two- fold: sharing of information and teaching so that more people may take an interest in our craft and become more knowledgeable and accomplished tiers. 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.

  • Caddisfly by Ian Cox Caddis Belong to the Order Trichoptera Which Translates from the Original Greek As Hair Wing. So When We Ta
    Caddisfly By Ian Cox Caddis belong to the order Trichoptera which translates from the original Greek as hair wing. So when we talk of an elk hair caddis we are committing the sin of tautology. Sedge is another name for caddis. They are found throughout South Africa and in all waters, from still to very fast flowing. For more on the caddis and its lifecycle see Caddis Fly. Most of the Caddis’ life is spent underwater as a larvae. Caddis larvae are either cased (which is when the larvae build a protective casing of debris around them) or the free living soft and squidgy larvae which don’t. Cased Caddis larvae are confined largely to the acidic streams of the Western and Southern Cape. In fact only one family of cased Caddis larvae is found outside these streams. They are the Pisuliidae and they construct a case out of twigs. They are also by far the largest member of the caddis having a case of some 2 to 2.5cm in length. Pisuliidae are found throughout South Africa in shady conditions generally where water is slow moving. It is unlikely that you are going to spend much time imitating cased Caddis larvae. For the most part when we imitate Caddis larvae we go for the soft squidgy ones. These do not get very big. They average around the 1 to 1.5 cm mark. South African’s are no strangers to fishing larvae imitations. Put simply the Czech Nymph much loved by those who pursue yellows on the Vaal, while originally a shrimp imitation, has morphed into a case-less caddis larvae.

For the last number of years we have been part of the South East Council. They currently hold their conclaves in the North SECRETARY Carolina Mountains and have a emphasis on cold water stream fishing (freshwater Kent Reagan trout). In the last few years the Gulf Coast Council has been formed with (850) 696-2862 Mississippi, Louisiana and South Alabama clubs. Their emphasis is more aligned [email protected] with the fishing that many of us do along the Gulf and Bays. In addition their TREASURER conclaves are held along the Gulf Coast (last year in Miss.) I was able to attend Jay Brykczynski both days and spend the nights at home in Pensacola. We have been discussing in (850) 232-7504 monthly meetings for about a year the possibility of moving our affiliation to the [email protected] Gulf Coast Council. To do this we need a affirmative vote of members and then permission from the Presidents of both Councils.

Many thanks to Dick Stentz and Dan Driskill for a job well done. It is getting close to the time of year when your Board of Directors (BOD) holds its' annual planning session. Typically, the BOD spends a day reviewing what it has done during the current year and sets objectives for the coming year. Your feedback and suggestions would be most welcome. One of the items to be considered at the planning session is growth, and how we adjust to it. COF now has over 200 member families and it continues to grow. To adjust, we have tried to form separate interest groups to accommodate the focus of our diverse membership. Kokanee Karnival now has a separate board of directors plus an advisory group. COF maintains financial responsibility, but follows the KK BOD in most other matters. Wild Woman of the Water (WWW, note: some members shorten the acronym to just Wild Woman!) is also a separate subgroup under the direction of Delores Marsh. Both COF and WWW focus their activities on fly-fishing, but WWW is for woman fly fishers only. Fly tying Tuesdays and the conservation group are other groups to focus special interests. Another growth concern is the monthly meeting.

  • OZARK FLY FISHERS Missouri Fly
    OOZZAARRKK FFLLYY FFIISSHHEERRSS MMiissssoouurrii FFllyy BBooxx Twenty-Five Best Flies For Missouri Parks and Streams Introduction The old expression ‗what is one man‘s trash is another man‘s gold‘ is true in fly fishing and fly selection. What one fly fisher perceives as the ‗go to‘ fly might not even make the fly box of another fly fisher. This selection of 25 flies is, therefore, not meant to change your mind about your favorite fly (just in case it didn‘t make the top 25). I am certain that some of your favorite fly patterns did not make the list. The selections are, however, provided to give you some food for thought and to provide the fodder for discussion – and argument, if you so please. The 25 flies are meant to be used for fishing for trout and have been identified for the State of Missouri; but as anyone who has fished in other areas will testify, the selection can be used in most places that trout are found. Don‘t be afraid to take some of these patterns along to that trip out West or back East. The list has been compiled from a survey conducted by the Ozark Fly Fishers of its membership and is provided in alphabetical order. The survey was taken in 2009 so the list is current. However, the sampling consisted of only a small percent of the entire membership. There was nothing scientific about the survey and only can be taken at face value. The survey was compiled by Al Bourisaw on the web site.

  • Fly Tying Guide 7-6-2015
    INTERNET FLY TYING GUIDE WWW.Addresses for Videos, recipes, patterns and other Fly Tying related items Issue: 7/6/2015 Total guide references: 3,002 Author – Dennis Stead (Note: Fly Index in back of PDF) In January 2012, I was introduced to fly tying by a group of people that belonged to the Missouri Trout Fishermen’s Association (MTFA). I was hooked. I soon realized that flies to be tied came in all sizes, shapes, colors and names. Well I thought, maybe I would start collecting fly tying patterns (recipes) and put them in a data base in my computer. At first, I thought it would be easy. Then I found The Fisherman’s Handbook of Trout Flies by Donald DuBois. This was published in 1960, and it included a comprehensive identification list of 5,939 trout fly patterns. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time, I could not even guess how many new trout fly patterns (recipes) were added. Collecting fly tying patterns (recipes) was not the way to go. I watched fly tying DVD’s and thought that this was a great way to have the pattern (recipes) and also learn how to tie the fly pattern. Then one of the MTFA members suggested that I search for the fly tying patterns (recipes) on the Internet, especially YouTube. Have you ever searched YouTube for a fly tying video or the Internet for a fly tying recipe? If the answer is yes, then you know that both have more fly tying instructions on just about every pattern you have heard of.

Primarily I like to think of it as a skater, the perfect fly for imitating both the newly emerged caddis flies' maiden voyage (take off) and the skittering female dropping her payload of eggs under the evening sky. Materials Hook - Standard dry hook 12, 14, 16 and 18 Thread - Black, brown, tan Rib – Small gold wire Body – Olive, tan, or black yarn. Hackle – Brown, grizzly, dun, badger, ginger Wing – Elk 1 - Start the thread and tie in a rib, before winding backwards over it until you reach the bend of the hook. Now trim off the waste. 2 – Tie on the yarn and wind forward, stopping a couple of diameters short of the eye. 3 - Now for the palmer. Tie in the hackle pointing backwards; glossy side facing up, and wind backwards down the body in open spiraling turns, 5 or 6 should do it. 4 - While holding the hackle in place at the end of the body, grasp the rib and take two firm touching turns around the hackle tip to secure in place. While keeping tension on the rib wind it up through the hackle in open spiraling turns, again about five, until the eye is reached. Now tie down and snip off both the hackle tip and waste wire.
