I t is difficult for me to undentand how a trout homing along the best twe'thou- I sandmiles of the splendidPacific drainage, blessed with strong,sometimes spec- tacular fighting qualities, canbe regardedwith relativeindifference by the angling majority. Evenconsidering the rather dramatic surgeof interest this small but spirited salmonidhas received during the past five or six years,it hasonly recently beenele- vated abovethe station of incidentalgamefish. Nowhereelse in the world would a trout - a true seatrout no less- quick to grab a lure and an aggressiveriser to the dry fly be delegatedto such subordinatestature. This is, unfortunately, the plight of the fiesty and beautiful sea-runcutthroat of the Pacific Coastof North Amorica. The most probableand unforgiveablereason for this blase'attitude toward a wild trout averagingone to three poundsis that there are too many larger,more glamor- ous fish to go after for the sameexpenditure of effort. There are five salmonspecies of tremendousimportance to the PacificCoast sport fishery. The hallowedsteelhead is availableyear-round thanks to extensivepropagation programs in Washington, Oregonand California. Sincethese bruisers can be pursuedreadily at pricesridicu- lously low comparedto anadromousgamefish in other partsof the world, WestCoast Waltoniteshave become a ratherindulged and single-mindedgroup. Angling indoctrination for many of us, from the time we are fledglings,leans to- ward the big fish. My own neophytefishing adventureswere tutored by my grand- father, Ed Knight, while I lived with him and my grandmother,Esther, during the early 1940's. AlthoughGrampa extolled the meritsof all fish and taughtme to en- joy catchingeverything from crappieto trout, I must admit that my first look at a truly big fish left a long-lastingimpression. GrandpaEd had gonefishing to the CispusRiver, a tributary of the Cowlitz in southwestWashington and brought home a tremendousbrace of steelhead.I'll never forget that moment when he stood near the tailgateof his Model A pickup holding a steelheadin eaphhand. At waist height their wide tails brushedthe ground. I was flabbergasted! The followingJune, Grandpa and I wereon the SkagitRiver near the town of Mt. Vernon, Washingtonfishing for chinook salmon. He was midway through a predawn yarn aboutthe monumentalsalmon of the Skaeitwhen a jolting strike took the tip of his stout, split canerod right into the water. Grunting with satisfaction,he slammed homethe hook and the battle wasjoined. For nearlyan hour I stoodwitness to a hammerand tong battle that terminatedwith forty-sevenpounds of gleamingbright chinooksalmon flopping on the deckof our little skiff. Grandpa'srippling laughter drifted acrossthe dampmorning air. "What do you think of that salmon,'Ike?"I couldn't answer.I wasdumbstruck. The CispusRiver steelhead had been:bigbut the 8 - chinookwas monstrous. It wasmore than my youngimagination could copewith. During the yearsfollowing the germinationof my anglingcareer I havebeen fortu- nateenough to castoverjust about everyspecies of fish alongthe PacificCoast in lakesand streamsfrom California to British Columbia. I am hesitantto estimatehow many steelheadand salmonI've hooked through the seasonsbut the number would be pretty impressive.There is no doubt in my mind that havinga reel-smeamingsal- mon or steelheadon the endof your line hasto rank asone of angling'smore elevated thrills. Comparinga sea-runcutthroat to a steelheador salmonis utterly impossible. The tremendsussize difference alone renders such a comparisonmeaningless. The value of a gamefishcan never be talliedin poundsand inchesalone. Sucha statementwill not meanmuch to the chest-beatingmeat fisherman,which is fine sincethis book is not intended to encouragepeople wishing only to add sea-runscalps to their belts. The personwho will properly evaluatetheworth of the sea-runcutthroat is one who hasoutgrown the "big is good" criteria so long related to the Pacific Coastsport fishery. Sucha personwill utlimately cultivate the most rewardinggive-and-take re- btionship with the sea-runcutthroat. The sea-runor coastalcutthroat (Sa|moClarki Clarki) is one of many subspeciesor racesof this trout found throughout the westernstates.' It rangesfrom the streams of northern Californiato PrinceWilliam Soundin Alaska. It is alsoabundant around the streamsol the QueenCharlotte Islands, Vancouver Island and the British Colum- bia mainland. Dependingupon locale,the sea-runcutthroat may go by such namesas native,harvest'trout, salter, sea-run, harvester, or simply cutt. Unlike many other specieshaving both landlockedand anadromousstrains, the sea- run doesnot attain the samelarge size as his fresh-waterkin. The record cutthroat takenin freshwater was an enormous4l-pounder derrickedfrom foramid Lake, Nevadain 1925. The foramid Lake cutthroat, native to the Lahontan drainageof California and Nevada,was so plentiful that a profitable commercialfishery wasest- blishedduring the early decadesof this century. While a sport fistrery still existsin hramid l,ake, supportedtotally by a hatchery progam, it is highly unlikely that the rccordof 4l poundswill everbe broken. Decimationfrom unrestrictedcommercial pressur€and laterby extensivewater diversionand damswas so efficientthat the originalsubspecies of giantswas officially declaredextinct in 1938. A largesea-run cutthroat, differing from his colossalcousin of the Lahontan water- $ted,rarely exceedsfive poundsin weight. The averagemature fish runs closerto a pound-and-a-half.There havebeen a few cutts recordedin the 15-to l?-pound classbut the probability of hooking such a brute falls into the samefantasy category aslanding a l0Gpound chinookor a 6Gpoundsteelhead. One sad similarity between the sea-runand his Nevadarelation is that he doesnot tolerate deterioration of his habitateven in minor degrees.Many smallstreams up. and down the PacificCoast which once harboredstrong populationsof sea-runcuttlroats are now nearly barren of the speciesdue to streamdamage caused by logging,land developmentand water pollution. In other regionsof the world wheretnre seatrout exist, they areoften held in higheresteem than eventhe exaltedAtlantic salmon. Throughoutthe British Isles and Europe the sea-runbrown trout is regardedby devout fly castersto be every bit asgood a taker of featheredofferings as the salmon. In the easternUnited Statesand Canada'smaritime provinces diligent efforts arebeing rnade to establishstrong runs from the few native,sea-run brook trout now existing. It is hearteningto seethat the sea-runcutthroat is finally beginningto commandsimilar attention from both con- cernedanglers and a few dedicatedbiologists. Although the cutthroat is not likely to attain the importanceof other anadromoussalmonids of the PacificCoast, with his legion of charnpionsgrowing, his future is certainly getting brighter. There can be no be better time for the sea-run'spoll position to improve, espe- cially in the faceof the enormoustolls beingtaken of salmonand steelheadstocks by the high seasand terminal commercialfisheries. The addedpressure of the Indian rnt fishery that hasgrown startlingly sincethe notorious Boldt Decisionin Washing- ton is further hackinginto both nativeand hatcherystocks of salmonand steelhead with no reasonablealtemative in sight. The sport angler'ssalmon and steelhead prospectshave never been darker. Sea-runcutthroat could be a singlelight shining from the gloom. The cutthroat doesnot venturefar afield from parent streamsand hasno trouble slippingthrough gill netsset for largerfislr" So, until meshsizes are reducedto take trout and estuariesare declaredfair game,the cutthroat is currently safefrom commercialpressure. This fact aloneshould spark anglers frorn California to Alaskato carry the sea-run'scolors. It is my hope that the ensuingchapters of this book will help you learn to know the sea-nrncutthroat trout. Keep in mind that in searchingout antts you are stalk- ing a fish that hassurvived with liftle assistancefrom man. The cutthroat is a wild fish and its habitat is pristine. Whetheryou seekthe cutthroat in the waning chill of early springor in the red-golddabbled days of autumn, you'll find thii plucky little seatrout ruggedand eager. Oncea husky specimenhas put your tackle to the test, you'll wonder wherethe sea-runcutthroat hasbeen all your life. l0 -- ChapterOne Life History of the Sea-RunCutthroat trugglingfiee of the gravelin late spring the cutthroat fry, just a little over an inch long,immediately finds that the preferredareas of the streamhave been stakedout by youngcoho salmon.

This con- frontation is resolvedwhen the cutthroat seekscover and food in the lessdesirable riffles.

Day, Director United States Department of the Interior, Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1950 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office Washington 25, D. C. - Price 40 cents ABSTRACT One of the serious handicaps in the administration and manage­ ment of the fisheries of the Philippines has been the lack of standardized nomenclature for fishing gear. This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas­ sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di­ alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.

  • AFFTA Policy Statement on Federal Fisheries Policy and Management
    AFFTA Policy Statement on Federal Fisheries Policy and Management The American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA) is the nation’s largest fly fishing trade association and is dedicated to the sustained growth of the fly fishing industry. AFFTA’s more than 900 members, including fly fishing retail stores, manufacturers, outfitters, guides, and lodges, are a part of the nearly $900 million contributed annually to the U.S. economy by the fly fishing industry. Ours is a growing market. Between 2015 and 2016, net sales revenue of fly fishing products increased by 8.5%. In 2016, more than 4.5 million Americans went fly fishing at least once, and the number of anglers who fly fish is estimated at ten million.1 AFFTA recognizes that abundant fish populations supported by healthy marine, coastal, and freshwater habitats are the foundation for a thriving recreational fly fishing industry. AFFTA pursues and supports policies that conserve and protect fisheries, fish habitat, and wild spaces. This ensures high-quality and plentiful recreational opportunities that create economic activity for our members and safeguards the industry’s future. Saltwater fly fishing is the fastest growing segment of our industry. To encourage continued growth and investment in saltwater fly fishing by our members, AFFTA supports state and federal ocean fisheries management that conserves and restores intact and thriving coastal and marine ecosystems, achieves responsible access to our marine fisheries, and is based upon the best available science. Overview and Status of Federal Fisheries Policy and Management U.S. ocean fisheries are managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA).

    Send Orders of Reprints at [email protected] 118 The Open Sports Science Journal, 2012, 5, 118-122 Open Access A Comparison of Distance Fly Casting Performance Between Three 5- Weight Long-belly Floating Lines Ulrik Röijezon1,* and Stefan Siikavaara2 1Department of Health Sciences, Luleå University of Technology, 97187 Luleå, Sweden 2Dala Sports Academy, University of Dalarna, 791 88 Falun, Sweden Abstract: Long-belly fly lines have gained extensive popularity around the world, both for fishing and for competitive distance casting. In Sweden, three long-belly fly lines are used as official lines in Fly Casting competitions: The Mastery Expert Distance (Scientific Anglers, USA), the Rio Gold Tournament (Rio, USA) and the Barrio GT140 (Barrio Fly Lines, Scotland). The objective of this study was to compare distance casting performance between the three long-belly fly lines using a standardized test protocol. Sixteen elite casters, eight competitors in Fly Casting and eight competitors in Casting, each performed eight casts with all three lines. All lines were cast in a randomized manner with the same type of rod (MSX Sapphire 790-4) fitted with the same type of reel and identical leaders. The test was performed as an indoor competition using the overhead cast technique. The statistical analyses revealed no significant differences between the lines. This result was consistent both for the whole group (p>0.05) and when the results from the subgroups of competitors in Fly Casting and Casting were analyzed separately (p>0.05). The conclusion of the study is that at group level there are no significant differences in distance casting performance between the three lines when casting is performed indoors.
