Deadline is 1 May, but there is a waitlist with Charlie, so if we don’t have anyone by the time we have our meeting in April, I will contact Charlie and relinquish our spots to someone on his waitlist.

The EAS program was extremely competitive this year with a large number of outstanding applications.

Caddis! Caddis! Are you ready? They’ve already started to make an appearance in North Georgia. Soon the trout will be rising with reckless abandon and will throw all caution to the wind. Reports are that they are coming off on the Toccoa in the afternoon. A few were seen before the big rain last week on the Chattahoochee tailwater and DH. 2 weeks ago, this 12” beauty took a #18 black EHC in some riffled water on the Hooch DH. This month’s stream of the month is the Chattahoochee DH. The first week in March marks the first of several large Black Caddis Hatches on the DH. It’s a great transition away from nymphing and throwing streamers in the winter. Come on down to the southern most trout stream/river in the country and enjoy this incredible natural resource in the heart of the city. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Wide open casting and easy access. Keep an ear open for the stream of the month next month. Last year in April Chapter members made a day trip to the Chattooga DH and had 25+ catch days on dries.

  • 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.

  • Fly Tying and Fly Fishing
    Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Fly Recipes Elk Hair Caddis Springbrook Wunder Wooly Worm Peacock nymph Hares Ear Pheasant Tail Nymph Mickey Finn Black Nosed Dace Adams dry fly Scud Elk Hair Caddis Invented somewhere west of here by Al Troth, the elk hair caddis has over the years proved to be an un-paralleled fish catcher. 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.
