Here we are again and I am taking this opportunity to recognize and thank everyone on our 2020 FFI Oregon Council Board of Directors and Expo Committee for all their work this year. On June 20th 2019 we were given the opportunity to reorganize our Council Casting Programs. The result is what you see in this program for our 2020 NW Expo.

We formed a new group from our BOD and Expo Committee that decided how to move forward. We created the Casting Games which took a lot of collaboration with 2 of FFI’s finest and well-known Casting Instructors (MCI’s) Brian O’Keefe and Steve Rajeff. The idea to award a “cup” to the casting games champion came from Jeff Perin (The Fly Fishers Place, Sisters Oregon). Read about the story in this program. We also received help from Al Buhr (MCI) to understand and re-organize the casting class schedules. We added 2 more casting lanes for indoor casting classes. We decided to continue the successful FFI Casting Challenge. Tim Quinton, President of FFI’s affiliate club Central Oregon Fly Fishers, and his group of Volunteers will run the Casting Challenge Program.

Please join the fun of the Casting Games “The McGinty Cup” and signup for our great classes. A thank you to the instructors that stepped up to teach at NW Expo 2020.

Banquet Friday Night 5:00PM - A big welcome to the new Fly Fishers International CEO Patrick Berry. He will be our guest speaker. This will be a fun social event to wine and dine with friends, make new friends plus enjoy the Council Awards Ceremony. Hal Gordon will welcome all the tyers that complete this expo adding to the whole fly fishing education experience. Hal will be announcing the winner of the Fly Tyers Contest.

Welcome to FFI’s Women Connect – Meet Patty Lueken one of the original founders of this Woman’s FFI program. This is your opportunity to meet other women in a friendly and fun environment. They look forward to connecting with women fly fishers in Oregon. Ladies plan on joining the Woman connect get together on Friday in Classroom 4 at 3:15PM.

At your service for 11 years,Sherry Steele

July 24, 2019 the Oregon Council received the Fly Fishers International Fly Fishing Skills Education Award. The award is in recognition of making extraordinary contributions to promoting fly fishing education especially through their Annual NW Fly Tyer & Fly Fishing Expo.Pictured is Keith Burkhart, Co-Founder of the Oregon Council & President 1988-1992Photo by Al Beatty, btsflyfishing.com

The Oregon Fly Fisher The Oregon Fly FisherSKILLS CHALLENGE THE MCGINTY FLY HISTORY


Fly Casting Skills Challenge Free to all Expo Attendees and Volunteers

The McGinty Fly and History of Oregon Casting Champions by Jeff Perin

Welcome to the NW Expo 2020 Casting Games “The McGinty Cup”

The Fly-Casting Skills Challenge Program is designed for the experienced beginner caster, as well as intermediate and advanced fly fishers. It is meant to be a fun, voluntary way to study, practice and challenge oneself in a progressive fashion at one’s own pace. It allows participants to measure progress with an option of receiving documentation and recognition for doing so.Each casting challenge at the Bronze, Silver, and Gold game levels is directly applicable to increasingly difficult fishing scenarios and includes these general areas:

• Pick-up and Lay-down cast • False casting • Roll casting • Reach mends, slack line, and curve casts • Accuracy, from Dominant and Non-Dominant shoulders • Distance and shooting line • Hauling • Casting while seated or kneeling • Presenting the backcast

After WW2, my friend Clyde Keller (Jr) returned to Oregon from serving in the Second Amphibious Brigade in the South Pacific to his post war life as an acoustical engineer. With so much opportunity in the late 1940’s and 50’s, success came to many as our country boomed. Clyde worked hard, and was quite a renaissance man, but he always found time to be a serious angler and fly caster. Clyde grew up in Oregon and fished the Clackamas and Metolius Rivers with his mother since he was a kid in the 30’s. Clyde was the son of a famous Oregon impressionist painter (Clyde Leon Keller) and became quite an accomplished water color artist in his own right. When I met Clyde, I was a high school kid working in a small fly shop in Bend, Oregon and Clyde was a member of the local Central Oregon Fly Fisher’s club, a known casting guru and instructor and one of the guys I most looked up to as an expert on Crane Prairie Reservoir. He had a nickname of Clyde the Guide. When Clyde retired and moved to Bend, he took a part time job with us at the Fly Box, and ended up coming to Sisters to work with me when I bought The Fly Fisher’s Place from Harry Teel in 1991. It was always fun to hear Clyde and Harry tell tales of the really good old days of fishing, and occasionally, even mention their services in the war, although those stories were held close to the vest and were not shared easily due to the painful memories all those years later. Both men were like family to me, and each had many stories to share, and I loved soaking them up as a young fly angler and entrepreneur. One of the stories Clyde shared was about a casting competition that was held here in Oregon before he went off to WW2 at the Portland Casting Club. He recounted exciting stories about casting to targets in shallow ponds using both fly fishing gear and bait casting gear. His expertise was with the fly rod and he won the State of Oregon dry fly and distance casting competition 4

times in Portland. The Casting Club was so impressed with Clyde’s expertise as a caster they funded his trip to Turlock, California for the Western Association of Scientific Anglers & Casters Tournament in 1941. Clyde described the day of the big competition as 110 degrees (F) with “puffy winds”. Even in the wind, Clyde scored a 97 and beat the great dry expert of the time, Henry Fujita by one point! As with most competitions the winner received a medal, but to Clyde the real prize was a hand tied fly that looked like a bumble bee. Winners would proudly pin the fly to their hat to signify they were the top fly caster of the time. Clyde always had that bee hooked in the brim of his hat. He also bragged about Mr. Fujita having five hooked to his own hat. Clyde loved everyone to have success. The “bumble bee fly” they won is called a McGinty, and it is an old fashioned fly originally tied way back in 1883 by Charles McGinty. The original McGinty was tied as wet fly with swept back wings and the classic black and yellow striped body that is unmistakably a representation of a bee. Over the years, the fly was tied as both a wet fly and dry fly version. In modern fly fishing, the McGinty has been passed up by many anglers and tyer’s for more modern fly patterns, but the good olé McGinty dry fly remains an icon of the sport and should also be a reminder of casting champions of the past.

The Oregon Council of Fly Fishers International is reintroducing the Oregon Fly Casting Championship, at the 2020 Northwest Fly Tyer and Fly Fishing Expo in Albany Oregon. We all thought it fitting our new championship should honor our past.

We named the competition The McGinty Cup.

Everyone is invited to participate in this new Casting Target Competition Fundraiser.

We have named this competition “The McGinty Cup.” Read the McGinty Fly History of Oregon Casting Champions at these links below.
