For this article I’ll focus on what I Bill Cruscial use when I fish on Still Water (lakes, reservoirs) and I have a high level of Secretary confidence that I will net fish with Tim Johnson these flies. My top 6 wet flies include a Wooly Bugger, Gold Rib Hare’s Ear, Treasurer/Membership Pheasant Tail Nymph, Damselfly Board Members Nymph, Soft-hackle fly, and a Guar- anteed.

Some members often use white wooly buggers and net fish. Sizes in my box range from size 6-12. Size 8 is what I use most often. Ken Karnosh Don Meyer Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear. In my early days as a fly fisherman, this Steve Reynolds was my “go to” fly. It is a great searching pattern and can imitate mayfly nymphs and caddis pupae. Sizes in my box range from size 10-18. I catch Kent Toomb most fish with sizes 12-14 Hare’s Ear. Scott Vaslev Pheasant Tail Nymph. This is another fly that netted me many fish in my early years. Like the Gold Rib Hare’s Ear, it imitates several mayfly Board Members Wanted nymphs, caddisflies, and even midges. This pattern is great for Stillwater but The Santiam Flycasters want you! We are looking also very effective in rivers, streams, etc. I Wednesday for a few good men and normally have sizes 10-18 in my box. I like women.

Damselfly nymphs are preva- your opinion; please join lent in many Stillwaters in the Northwest and us. No experience needed, just your interest in fly fish- it is usually the first fly I tie on when fishing ing is all it takes to be a Stillwater whether or not I see them on/or in board member. the water. My favorite damselfly pattern is called a “Pheasant Tail Six Pack” I just call it a Six Pack. The body and tail are tied with pheasant tail fibers and the hackle is dyed pheasant rump feather. I use olive or yellow died rump feather. Page 3 Soft Hackle Flies. If I could only have one wet fly in my box, it would undoubtedly be a soft-hackle fly. Soft hackle flies can imitate the majority of insects at various stages of their life-cycle. These are extremely easy to tie and a Hungarian partridge provides great soft-hackle feathers for soft hackle flies. The only difference in the variations of soft hackle flies in my box is the body color and whether I put a thorax on or not. My favorite color soft-hackle is olive, but I always have tan, brown, orange, and a pheasant tail soft hackle (pheasant tail fibers for the body and red thread) in my box. Our Club Treasurer, Tim Johnson, “always” puts on an orange soft hackle first whether fishing in still or moving water and usually brings several fish to the net. I use sizes 10-14 and have caught most fish with size 12 soft hackle flies. Guaranteed. This is a pattern many in the club are not famil- iar with but it has gained popularity since I tied it for episode 10 of CCTV (Bill Crucial produces). It is an attractor pattern and a great fly to use when nothing else seems to work. It is tied with a duck feather (barbed tail), orange or red tag (egg sac), peacock herl body, and blue peacock feather (soft hackle), and either black, red, or orange thread. I tie versions with all these color threads. The original version is tied with black thread. This can also be used as a steelhead fly. This fly was also instrumental to my success as a novice fly fisher- man and I tie these in size 8-10. The pattern is hard to find, however if you go to you tube and type in Leroy Hyatt Six Pack you will see the same version I tied on the show. Leroy is from the Palouse in Wash- ington State and I learned this pattern and many others watching his weekly fly- tying show in the late 90s. Although I mentioned above what size hook, I’ve caught the most fish on for each pattern, matching the hatch (size and color) is the best recipe for success. If I had to do the impossible and narrow it down to my top 3 wet flies it would be (1) Wet-Fly, (2) Damselfly “Six pack”, and (3) Wooly Bugger. On your next fishing outing to Still Water (East Lake), if these 6 wet flies are in your box, there is a great chance of you will be successful in bringing fish to the net. Fly Tying Group We will meet on Wednesday, September 18 at Garibaldi’s Family Mexican Restaurant in West Salem from 6:00-8:00 pm. Come, join us to tie, learn, or just visit about fishing. We try to demonstrate a pattern to tie. Each person could also tie a pattern of their choice. It is very laid back and is for all levels of tying ability. If you have questions, contact Kent Toomb at [email protected] or by phone at (541) 990-3964 Page 4 Hosmer Lake Outing Report New Member in By Ken Karnosh August About a dozen of us fished Hosmer Lake on July 27.

  • 2021 Coastal Recreational Fishing Digest
    Time for Fishin’ Shake off that Cabin Fever and Go Fishing! There is no better way to shake off the doldrums than to commune with nature. And one of the best ways to commune with nature is to go fishing. To prepare you for this endeavor, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries has published this 2021 Coastal Recreational Fishing Digest. Funded by Coastal Recreational Fishing License sales, this digest is meant to give anglers information they need to fish responsibly as well as interesting articles about the division’s recreational fishing programs. New in this digest is an article explaining why fishermen may need to become a little more tech savvy than in previous years. Also, a new article discusses drone fishing. As in the past, this year’s digest contains fishing license options, fishing best practices, information on how to identify and measure fish, and a table with recreational size and bag limits and seasons. Because marine fisheries regulations are subject to change frequently, anglers should check the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries’ website at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/mf/recreational-fishing-size-and-bag-limitsfor the most up-to-date fishing regulations. Watch Out for These Changes this Year: Flounder season was scheduled to close by April 30. A short season may open in the fall. The 2021 recreational flounder season will open Aug. 16 and close Sept. 30 for internal and ocean waters of the state. A one-week season was held in the upper Roanoke, and a one-week season was held in the lower Roanoke, both in April 2021.

Follow these procedures to minimize injury to fish: • Barbless hooks must be used. • Do not use a tailer. • When using a landing net, use one with knotless mesh, as it is less harmful to fish scales, gills and eyes. • A leader tip should be heavy enough to bring in large salmon quickly, or light enough to allow large salmon to break off. • Move to a quiet water location. • Bring the fish quickly into reach, or break it off after a couple of runs. • Do not beach the salmon; keep the entire salmon underwater as much as possible. • Handle the salmon gently; do not squeeze the fish and avoid touching the gills and eyes. Loss of scales and damage to the gills caused by pressure on the gills or by removal from the water are the most serious injuries a salmon can suffer. • Remove the hook gently with pliers or with your thumb and forefinger. If the hook must be left in, cut the leader as close to it as possible. • Support the fish under the belly, keeping it in an upright position, underwater and facing into the current.
