2 Page 2 Scheduled SFC Club Outings Oct. 8 Crooked River Oct. 22 Deschutes River (Trout Creek) Nov. 5 Devil s Lake (New!) Welcome These New Members Joining the Santiam Flycasters in September were Bill Cruscial, Salem Val Tancredi, Salem Membership for the year now stands at 116 of which 23 are new to the club this year! More on Hosmer Lake Chironomid fishing in the channel can be very effective, at least until the kayakers show up. The paddlers move through the channel in large groups, 3-4 abreast, taking up most of the channel. Getting onto the water early in the morning helps to avoid the paddlers. After that, it's best to move into the lake. Hosmer Lake Outing Report By Leroy Shepherd Dry flies, tiny green nymphs, wooly buggers, midges all were successful at times during our outing to Hosmer Lake in September. For some of us, long dry spells searching for something in the box that might work was punctuated by a surprise grab from a trout that finally took pity. Most everybody caught something throughout the weekend. Some caught more and bigger than others. For me, personally, I was glad to say I finally caught a couple of fish out of Hosmer Lake. Previous attempts to fish the lake resulted in great frustration as the lake is clear enough you can see the fish nonchalantly swimming by your fly. It helped a little to hear from someone diving the lake to say that, Yes, there are lots of big fish present, but they seem to be ignoring everyone s presentations. So, when you finally hook into one, it makes you feel kind of special. Saturday afternoon (after I left of course) the group experienced varied success with some catching up to five fish each, including some sizeable specimens. It was reported that Tim landed a 22 rainbow, Mike Miller a 20 and Larry Steele a 19. They found that olive wooly buggers, midge pupa or lookalikes, along with soft hackles seemed to be most effective. We got to see all kinds of watercraft the kayak and paddle board hatch was on. Fortunately, most of them sped through the channel to reach the other end of the lake. Nights were cool leaving us with frozen boots and waders in the morning. Days were warm. Tim cooked up a great bratwurst lunch as everyone compared notes. All in all a great and photogenic weekend. Enjoy this gallery of photos to see what a special place Hosmer is. Very large rainbow move though the channel and will eat midge patterns hanging in their path, 2-3 feet under an indicator. I hooked several big trout using this technique. The smaller the midge pattern the better, size 20 or smaller. Color doesn't seem to matter. I'm told that fishing on weekdays in the fall is one way to avoid kayakers in the channel, except on Wednesdays when the Bend Kayak Club comes to Hosmer. Tim s 22 trophy. The smile is almost as big as the fish! Mike s Hosmer Hawg Ken looks satisfied with this prize.

3 Page 3 Willamette River Outing Report By Ken Karnosh Low hanging fog greeted 10 of us as we prepared to float and fish the Willamette River above Harrisburg on September 24. By mid-day, the fog had disappeared for a beautiful afternoon on the river. Fishing was a bit tough, although we managed to land several feisty cutthroats and nice rainbows. Nancy landed a 17 rainbow and Tim lost one that probably beat that one. Successful flies included possie buggers, rainbow warrior, and soft hackles, although dry flies also attracted the fishes attention. The Group about to set sail. We had been concerned about the river level at about 1.6, but there is plenty of water for both pontoons and drift boats. Just be aware of a few sunken logs! The lower water also better identifies some of the trout holding spots. We saw evidence of the river s danger, though. What looked like a canoe was wrapped around a log near the shore. Someone had tied a rope to it and had apparently tried to pull it out with no success. It is a good example of how strong the current is when one doesn t fully respect it! Also, a good reason to wear a life vest. This float, however, is a fun one that is fairly close to home and holds some nice fish. Dennis Coastal Cutthroat October 8 Crooked River Outing On October 8, we will fish the Crooked River south of Prineville. To get there, drive Highway 22 east to Sisters, turn left onto Highway 126 on the east edge of Sisters and follow it through Redmond to Prineville, turn right (south) at the Bowman Dam sign in the middle of Prineville, and drive about 17 miles to Cobble Rock campground. You can camp at any of the several campgrounds (we will be in Cobble Rock), or you can spend the night at a motel in Prineville, or you can just make it a long day trip from Salem. Suggested gear is 4-6 weight rods with floating line. Dry flies include midges, caddis, and PMDs or blue wing olives. Nymphs include midge pupa, pheasant tails, and hare s ears. Generally, small flies in sizes seem to work best. Nymphs probably should be fished right along the bottom. Remember your wading staff, since the rocks are uneven and slippery! The club will provide hamburgers for a mid-day meal on Saturday. Bring a small side dish to share, if you wish, as well as your own beverage.

Or, if you just want to find out what goes on during the board meetings or want to share your opinion; please join us. No experience needed, just your interest in fly fishing is all it takes to be a board member. October 22 Deschutes River Outing On October 22, we will float and fish the Deschutes River from Warm Springs to Trout Creek. If you do not have a pontoon boat or drift boat, there is a lot of fishable bank near Trout Creek campground. To get to Trout Creek campground, drive to Sandy either on I-5/I-205 through Clackamas and Boring or through Woodburn/Molalla/ Estacada, drive Highway 26 east over Mount Hood and through Warm Springs, turn left onto Gumwood or Columbia at the top of the hill, turn or drive north about 5 miles to Juniper Lane, turn east and follow it to the community of Gateway, turn left onto the road to Trout Creek near the railroad, and follow it about 6 miles to the campground. Suggested gear is 5 or 6 weight rods with floating line. Dry flies include caddis and October Caddis. Nymphs include soft hackles, prince, pheasant tail, hare s ear, green rock worm, and midge pupa, often fished under an indicator and weighted to fish right along the bottom. The rocks are slippery, so a wading staff and proper boots are recommended. Remember your Boating Pass if you float the river. Also, buy a permit if you plan to fish the Tribal (west) side of the river. The penalty is significant! You can buy both of these passes through links on our website. The club will not provide a meal, so bring your own food and drink. Also, we need to use trailers or a drift boat to shuttle ourselves from the campground to Warm Springs to launch, so we could use your help on that. You will also need to arrange a shuttle to get it back to Trout Creek. International Federation of Fly Fishers Award Recipients from Oregon (and Members of Santiam Flycasters) At the 2016 International Federation of Fly Fishers awards banquet held in Livingston, Montana on August third, two members of the Santiam Flycasters were honored for their contributions to the fly tying community. The Buz Buszek Memorial Award is given to an IFFF member who has made significant contributions to the arts of fly tying. Areas of judgment are: tying skill, creativity or innovation, and sharing knowledge by teaching or publication. The achievements and contributions should promote the advancement of the arts and qualification should be superior to other candidates. This award is the highest award given by the IFFF to a fly tier. The recipient for 2016 is Jim Ferguson. Jim has written a dozen or more fly tying booklets for the tying of Atlantic Salmon patterns that include step-bystep photos. These booklets were used in teaching classes at Creekside Fly Shop during some of their Salmon Fly Saturday classes. A three part class has been developed by Jim to teach the tying of the Classic Atlantic Salmon Style fly. Another of Jim's contributions to the fly tying community has been the web site, There are quite a few downloads available on this website for individual fly tyers as well as instructors. Jim Ferguson has been involved with the mounting and framing of the Legends plate for the Oregon Council and has been involved with the tying portion of the Oregon Expo for several years.

5 Page 5 IFFF Awards continued... The Darwin Atkin Memorial Fly Tying Achievement Award was created by the Fly Tying Group (FTG) of the IFFF. This award recognizes an IFFF member whose long-term contribution to fly tying is widely recognized and respected. The award is for outstanding achievement and demonstrated commitment of the person in significantly advancing the craft and art of fly tying. The 2016 recipient of the Darwin Atkin Memorial Fly Tying Achievement Award is Jim Schollmeyer. He is widely recognized and respected for his contributions. Having over 200,000 books in print should speak to the demand for his work. Specific items influencing teaching and promotion of quality fly tying is found in his photography work in several books co-authored with Ted Leeson, Tracey Peterson, or Dave Hughes. Books such as Fly Tier's Benchside Reference: to Techniques and Dressing Styles, Nymph fly Tying Techniques, Tying Emergers: A Complete Guide, Basic Stream Flies: How to Choose, Fish, & Tie Them, and his many magazine articles such as "Snowshoe Hare's Mess" have turned into major references for fly tying instructors as well as the individual tier. His hatch guides must also be included as excellent resources for the tier. His works are invaluable when deciding on techniques to include in a tying class offering. Fly Of The Month by Jim Ferguson Montana Bucktail Hook: Mustad (2 XL, 2 XFine, tapered eye), TMC 5263, Daiichi 1720, Dai Riki 710 Thread: Orange 6/0, 8/0 Tail: Golden Pheasant tippet fibers Body: Orange floss Rib: Fine gold wire Hackle: Grizzly palmered over body Wing: Natural Deer hair The Montana Bucktail is a stonefly pattern. This was described to me by Jim Fisher. With a little more care, the wing could be mounted with less flare.

6 Page 6 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Debarb the hook and mount it in the vise (fig 1.) Figure 1 2. Attach the tying thread one eye length behind the eye of the hook (fig 2.) Figure 2 3. Wrap a thread base to the rear. Do not carry the thread base into the bend (fig 3.) Figure 3 4. Select the Golden Pheasant tippet fibers for the tail. Mount the tail so it is level with the shank of the hook. Bind down the tail waste and take the thread to the 1/3 shank position (fig 4.) Figure 4 5. Attach the fine gold wire rib material leaving a slight tag (fig 5.) Figure 5 6. Bend the tag towards the rear into a "U" shape and bind it down onto the shank (fig 6.) This allows you to pull on the wire later without it pulling free. Figure 6

7 Page 7 7. Bind the rib material down along the bottom of the shank as you wrap the tying thread to the tail tie in position at the rear (fig 7.) Figure 7 8. Wrap the thread using flat wraps to the front where the body will start and attach the orange floss onto the bottom of the shank (fig 8.) Figure 8 9. Wrap the floss back over the shank in edge to edge turns to the tail tie in position. Use slightly overlapping turns while wrapping the floss back to the front. This will produce a slightly tapering body (fig 9.) Figure Attach the butt end of the prepared hackle on the bottom of the shank. Attach it so you will be able to make at least one complete turn in front of the body. If you use a fine stem dry hackle, you can bend the stem back and tie it down with a few wraps (fig 10.) This allows you to pull on the hackle without it pulling out when you palmer the hackle to the rear. Figure Trim the hackle stem waste (fig 11.) Figure Make at least one wrap of hackle at the front and then palmer the hackle to the rear. When you reach the rear, catch the hackle stem with two turns of the wire ribbing material and then spiral wrap the rib forward so it crosses over the stem at several places. Work the rib thru the front hackle wraps and tie it off on the bottom (fig 12.) Figure 12

8 13. Hold the tying thread taught with one hand and "worry" off the wire by wiggling it back and forth. This produces a smaller waste and saves your scissor blades. Trim off the hackle waste (fig 13.) Page 8 Figure Select, clean, and stack the deer body hair for the wing. I pre-glue and pre-cut the deer hair at the tie down position on the deer hair stack. This seems to allow the butt ends of the deer hair to compress more for a smaller head and you can produce a nice tapered head with little drop off that would be produced by trimming the deer hair waste after mounting. Mount the wing and form the head (fig 14.) Whip finish the head and add head cement. Try to use the techniques from Al & Gretchen Beattie's book on tying with hair to minimize the wing flair. Figure 14 There are several different wing variations to try. You can keep the hair up on top of the shank or you might let it come down on the sides somewhat as in fig 14. If you want the fly to sit down into the film more, you can trim the bottom of the hackle. A shorter tail might be another variation. Attach the Golden Pheasant tippet so the black bar is at the tie in position.
