President’s Report

his will be my last official message as President, so I thought I would leave some Sage, or maybe just Aleka advice to the new President and Executive. First off, it is fun and not a lot of work. You get to

decide which jobs you want to take on and which you choose to delegate. There are plenty of helping hands in the directors and from all our active club members.

Remember that on January 24th there will be a youth fishing event at Yellow Lake. Our club has pledged $200 as we did last year. Members are welcome to go and help out other BCWF clubs and staff from MFLNO and Freshwater Fisheries. We are not organizing the event we just have show up if we choose to help.

Although some external politics BCWF and BCFF are hard to ignore. We are not a political party, so if we cannot reach consensus on a matter then we don't need to answer as a club. Members are always free to express their own interests and are not bound to blindly follow the Club's direction. You only get one vote, the same as any member, so if you get off on a tangent the members will reign you in and put you in your place.

It is much easier with a full slate of Officers and Directors so I encourage all members to

"take their turn". You will not be hurting anyone's feelings if you decide to run for a position. In fact, the incumbent may even buy you a beer!

Finally, try to remember this axiom: We are a flyfishing club, so don't let meetings and events trump a fishout with members.

Larry Martin, Kaleden, B.C. <'))><

George Graw, Good News Bear Chairman, with "George" the 2014 PFF Good News Bear. This is the final year of the Good News Bear program after a successful 25-year run. George has been our chairman for 9 or 10 years and it is most appropriate that our final bear is named after him. Our chairman and bears are part of the seasonal celebrities each year. Thank you, George, for all of your excellent work with the bear program! Tom Dellamater photo

On a mid-December day this year Greg and Chad drove by Shannon Lake and discovered it was over half-frozen and an icebreaker was needed to get to the open side opposite from the boat launch. Determined to do some fishing, they ended up going down to Okanagan Lake near the Tolko mill where Greg had seen numerous carp in the past. Not really expecting to catch anything they more or less just went to float around in the boat and practice some casting, as it had been awhile since Greg had the rod out for a flick with all the hunting getting in the way. They ended up cruising out of the bay trying to find a drop off but they never did, and with the 10' flat bottom and electric motor they did not want to get stuck out in the middle of the lake. They were both surprised to find that the whole bay is 12' deep or less. Chad, on the left, is trying to master the double haul and Greg, on the right, is turning 180° to reset into the wind.

Casting Tips from the Sandy River Spey Clave

by Jon Pew

ere are a few spey casting tips gleaned from the 2014 Sandy River Spey Clave.

1. The concept of a wine glass. The tip of the rod passes around the perimeter of the wine glass as the back cast is formed.

2. The concept of a casting box – waist to shoulder, shoulder to shoulder. Rod butt and hands never leave the casting box.

3. Keep the casting elbow in! 4. Gawesworth’s anchor box. Touch the water with your rod tip in front and at right angles. This defines

the box. Line tip should land at 45 degrees to these two corners in the center of the box. 5. Cast over the fly. Wherever the fly lands on the water as the back cast is formed is where the cast

should go. If you don’t like where you are going to cast, reform the anchor spot. 6. Always begin with the same rod tip height when forming the anchor. This standardizes the effort

which is necessary to place the tip of the line in Gosworth’s anchor box. 7. The rod tip movement is the 10:00 position to the 2:00 position. For longer casts the casting effort

remains the same but the rod tip can travel from the 9:30 position to the 2:30 position etc. as needed. 8. Paint the sky with the rod tip as the cast develops. 9. It should take 3 sec from the beginning of the sweep to the beginning of the cast ( a long time). 10. The cast plane is always be directly over the shoulder. 11. The Perry poke is used to align the fly, loop, and cast. Push the rod butt out with the bottom hand when

performing the Perry poke. 12. Big mends with the rod tip behind the fly creates a slower drift. Small numerous mends with the rod

tip in front of the fly creates a faster drift. 13. Never make a bad cast. Always start again rather than completing the bad cast. 14. Seventy percent of the effort comes from the bottom hand. 15. In faster water with a “downstream” cast, the fly is engaged immediately. In slower water you must cast

well above your intended target to engage the fly by the time it passes the target. 16. An “across river” cast is slower to engage but sinks deeper. 17. You can wiggle the rod tip to give the fly action. This can be the difference sometimes. 18. The line tip must just touch the water as the cast begins. 19. The casting sequence is: slow, slow, slow, faster, fastest. 20. And the last tip from the expert: Why don’t you lay off for two weeks then quit altogether?

Flytying - Ervin’s Leech by Ken Baker

wo years ago at our banquet I was asked by a guest if I did custom tying. I replied, "Not really,

but I might be talked into it." He explained he had someone tie flies for him before but the person who did it was no longer doing custom tying. He wanted two dozen of two different patterns so I thought "Why not?" and agreed to take it on. Both of them presented some minor problems as he did not have a recipe and some of the materials did not look too familiar. There was a blue feather on one that I had no idea what it was and the other had a black dubbing with red and silver added in.

I was not very interested in using one of the patterns but the leech looked promising.

Trout Waters had black and red dubbing, but no black, red and silver dubbing, so I began to think it was a custom blend put together by the original tier. I bought the black with red dubbing (STS Trilobal Bloody Black Leech) and a package of silver dubbing enhancer to mix in.

After I had tied a few I thought that this could be an effective leech pattern so I tied a few for myself. I passed it over last year, but I gave it a go this year. It has produced fairly well when I have used it so I’m going to pass it along. It can be cast or trolled. As I prefer to cast and retrieve, I usually fish it off of a dry line with a fairly long leader if the water is not too deep. Otherwise, a sinking line suitable for the depth of water is in order. Use your favourite leech retrieve. I like some relatively fast, short pulls followed by a pause. I have had fish take the fly right from when it has hit the water to just as I was lifting up the rod to make another cast. As the fly did not have a name I decided to call it Ervin’s Leech after the angler who originally had me tie them up.

Recipe: Bead: 3/32 or 7/64 gold or small cone head Hook: 10-14 standard or 1XL wet Weight: 0.020 lead wire (optional) Thread: 8/0 or finer, colour to match Tail: black marabou Body: STS Trilobal Bloody Black Leech dubbing

with silver dubbing enhancer as highlight

Tying instructions:

1. Place bead or cone on a debarbed hook and then secure the hook in the vice.

2. If desired put 4 or 5 wraps of lead wire right behind the bead. The weight on the front of the hook gives the fly a nice bobbing action during the retrieve.

3. Lay down some thread wraps to cover hook shank and tie on a black marabou tail. Length should be equal to shank.

4. Dub a sparse body with your favourite method, (I use a dubbing loop).

5. Tie off and whip finish. Keep the wraps when tying off to a minimum.

6. Pick out the dubbing with a brush or a bodkin. A Velcro brush is excellent for this. If you don't have one they are simple to make; simply glue a piece of the hook part of Velcro to a thin piece of wood - Popsicle sticks work fine.

7. I take the finished flies and dip them in boiling water. This helps to keep the dubbing flowing back and tight to the body.

Okanagan River Restoration Initiative by Ken Baker

n Tuesday, November 18 I met with an Okanagan River Restoration Initiative (ORRI) representative and other individuals representing several groups who have an interest in restoration work being done on the

Okanagan River. There was a brief meeting beforehand explaining their objectives, what has been done, future plans for Oxbows, and other areas that were suitable for restoration as close as possible to their natural state. Quoting from their brochure:

• The Okanagan River Restoration Initiative returns sections of the channelized river back to more natural, complex and diverse conditions. The ORRI concept was conceived in 2000 to re-establish some of the natural aquatic and terrestrial habitat features lost to channel alterations.

• Major flood control work during the 1950s channelized the Okanagan River, severely impacting its health and fish-bearing capacity.

• 85% of the river was straightened and diked. 50% of the river’s length was lost. • Lost also was 90% of the riparian and wetland habitat, connection to the natural floodplain, pools, riffles

and natural features. During our walking tour it was explained to us what has been done and why:

• Dykes have been moved back, where possible, to create a natural more natural flow, larger riparian areas, and a flood plain.

• Some of the old dyke was left to create “dry land” habitat. • Some replanting was done and natural regeneration also occurred.

There is a paved walking trail along the area where this work has been done and it is possible to walk through parts of the restored habitat. Just watch out for Poison Ivy and pick a warmer day.

Below a weir where portions of the abutments were removed to provide a slower flow to ease fish passage.

Just above the weir showing the bottom of a large spawning bed. Some of the redds can be seen to the right of the spawned out carcasses.

A rock riffle/weir was placed in the river bed to raise the water level to allow it to flow into a side channel. If the water level was not raised the entrance to the old side channel was too high to allow water to flow through except during times of freshet. Note the walking bridge over the side channel.


Mysis Shrimp in Lower Arrow Lake & Columbia River by Brian Briscoe

uring the past two years there has been a significant increase in Mysis shrimp in the

Columbia River. Both throat pump samples and stomach content samples from rainbow trout contained Mysis. Samples have been obtained downstream from the Keenleyside dam as far as Gennelle. At times the fish are “stuffed” with Mysis. The Mysis in the fish are always dead and always white in color. For flytying, most patterns consist of a white body. However, the question to ask is “What does a live Mysis shrimp look like?” To answer this question, FLNR personnel in Nelson contributed some of their live samples from routine monitoring tests in the Lower Arrow Lake. In return, numerous close-up photographs were sent to FLNR. Their use and objectives with the photos are different to that of a flytier. Therefore, the photographs below represent a summary of the Mysis close-ups for the benefit of flytiers. My intent is to reveal the dramatic difference in appearance between a live Mysis and a dead Mysis. The dead Mysis in these photographs have been preserved in alcohol. However, the shape, color and all other features are the same as those observed in fish. While working with the live specimens it was noted that they turned white immediately upon death. As only dead specimens are found in fish, it is not known if the fish are eating live Mysis, dead Mysis or a combination thereof. Live Mysis have a relatively straight body with a translucent abdomen. They are fast swimmers in the forward direction, with their eyes to the front. They do swim backwards, but at a much slower speed. Note that most “shrimp fly patterns” place the eyes at the bend of a hook. A more specific search for “Mysis shrimp patterns” shows many flies with the eyes/head at the bend of the hook. These don’t have much resemblance to the actual Mysis. When swimming, the “swimming legs” radiate outwards from the bottom of the thorax and encompass an area of approximately 180° around the bottom. The legs are well spaced and appear sparse. There are two very long antennae projecting from each side of the head. While swimming the antennae remain approximately 90° to the side of the head. The body lengths of Mysis found in trout range in size from 1⁄2” to 1” (13 mm to 25 mm). Samples from the Lower Arrow Lake include young Mysis as small as 0.04” (1 mm).

D


Mysis Shrimp in Lower Arrow Lake & Columbia River (cont'd)

When dead, the abdomen bends downward significantly, producing a body with a pronounced “banana” shape. The entire body becomes white but the eyes remain dark (black) and are very prominent. The “swimming legs” become a thick mass under the thorax. The antennae rotate to a straight forward position and look like a cluster of fine white hair. Some of the photos include a portion of a metric ruler with the numerals showing centimeters.

The very apparent increase in Mysis concentration in the Columbia River is both recent and sporadic. Some questions that come to mind are: • Is it the result of the fertilization program in the

Arrow Lakes? • What are the conditions that result in the sporadic

increase? • Do the Mysis survive their passage through the dam? • Are there Mysis living in the low velocity sections of

the river?

Salmon Lake Fish-Out 2014

by Ken Woodward

Photographs by Maureen Jolley (the good ones) & Ken Woodward

he last fishout of 2014 was at Salmon Lake Resort on the Douglas Lake Ranch. We had a great turnout for this event, including 29 people chowing down at the Saturday night barbecue and potluck. The weather was

challenging for the early arrivals - lots of wind! However, as you can see in the photographs, it calmed down and we enjoyed a gorgeous weekend. There was even a flock of pelicans hanging around, something we don't often see in the BC Interior. Algae was thick, the fish were mostly in the weeds and fishing was a bit tough, but we managed to get a few and they were in great condition. Fishing deer hair Gomphus and Pumpkinheads tight to the weeds were some of the keys to success.

From the Library by Ralph Jolley, Chief Librarian

t’s winter and, unless you’re into drilling holes in the ice, there's not much fishing to be done. Now’s a good time to grab one of the books or DVDs from the library. Here’s a sample of

what’s available.

BOOKS TYING FLIES FOR TROPHY TROUT Jack Shaw – It’s also a good time to tie up a bunch of flies to get ready for next season, and here’s a book to give you a few ideas. This book lacks some good photos but provides good instruction, and is a good read as well.

TYING NYMPHS Randall Kauffman – Another basic primer with some ideas for various flies, and how to tie them. Well illustrated.

PRACTICAL FISHING KNOTS Mark Sosin & Lefty Kreh – Easy to follow instructions on knots for fishing and outdoors.

I


From the Library (cont'd)

THE GILLY Alf Davy (ed.) – I think we’ve all heard of this book, but have you ever picked it up? Alf Davy put together a collection of stories and advice from a number of well-known BC anglers. While this book was put out about 30 years ago, it’s still a good read and it has lots of good information.

VIDEOS CATCH AND RELEASE Brian Chan – Want a retro night? (It's so old I couldn't find a photo of it... ed.) Find a VCR that works and watch this video. It’s a little jumpy at first, but it settles down quickly. You get to watch a young Brian Chan (1981) talk about different fishing methods, and the do's and don’ts of catch and release.

FLYTYING WITH JOHN MASSEY - this video has good picture quality, and it provides beginner instruction with basic tying techniques. Tie a wet fly, a black Wooly Worm, a Halfback and an Irresistable.

DVD CONQUERING CHIRONOMIDS Phil Rowley and Brian Chan – We’ve just

added this DVD to the library. It’s a great lesson in chironomid entomology and various techniques for fishing them. I know many are divided on this technique, but I think this DVD is still worth watching even if you think fishing with chironomids is like watching paint dry. As usual, the instruction from Phil and Brian is very good, and the production quality of the DVD is excellent.


Club Library he following is a list of the great DVDs, videos and books we have in the club collection. Remember that club members are welcome to sign out these items at monthly club meetings - a great way to get fired up

for fishing! Thanks Mike Daviduk for being librarian and taking care of the collection for many years, and thanks to Ralph Jolley for taking over as librarian this year.

Flyfishing Film Tour (F3T) by Nick Pace

Well, it's another year of hosting the F3T, which is being held at the historic Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna. The event will take place on March 7, 2015, and for those who missed it last year the funds we raised for restoration projects on the endangered Kettle River were amazing. Last year we donated over $20,000 for Speckle Dace restoration that helps out wild rainbow, too.

We are expecting over two hundred anglers to attend F3T this year, with great door prizes, silent auction items and raffle tickets for a chance to take home some awesome items. This event also helps raise awareness for the Kettle River and its demise and ways to restore some strategic areas with much needed cottonwoods. Tickets are $20 each and are available at Trout Waters Fly & Tackle (cash or debit only). Watch some great films, see some fishing buddies and help raise money for a great cause that is near to our hearts.
