SUMMARY:Fly Tying Night - Euro-Nymphing Flies
DESCRIPTION:Euro-Nymphing Flies\n \nThis month’s fly tying article is going to be a bit different.  Instead of highlighting one particular fly we are going to be looking at a whole family of flies.   \nBackground Info: \nEuropean nymphing?? It seems that the whole fly fishing world is euro-nymphing.  But it is not a matter of just getting on the bandwagon of the newest fad\, because in fact\, euro-nymphing is not really all that new. Although new to many of us\, it has proven to be very effective since the 1980’s.  (Some flyfishing historians will argue that european-nymphing is simply another step in the development of high-stick nymphing techniques that have been evolving for the past 150 years!) \nPerhaps you are on the fence in deciding whether to jump into euro-nymphing. Well\, when you hear that the highly competitive USA fly fishing team has added euro-nymphing to its arsenal of methods\, it should make you sit up and notice.  Back in 1989 the fly fishing world was changed when Polish angler Vladi Trzebunia caught more fish by himself than the combined total of the 2nd\, 3rd\, and 4th place teams at the world championships! A little closer to home\, when Josh Linn\, the “Fly Czar” at The Royal Treatment Fly Shop\, tells me he recently had a 20-fish day on the Metolius I really start paying attention!  That is no easy feat on that river.  Now\, I don’t get over to the Metolius very often\, but I am not sure if I have landed 20 fish on that river in my lifetime. So we are in for a treat this month getting to have Josh as our guest speaker and also have him available as the guest tyer to share his knowledge at our monthly Fly Tying Night. (And at our meeting be sure to ask him about landing two fish at once. Also on the Metolius!) \nSo\, what is euro-nymphing?  In its simplest description\, it is a way to fish subsurface flies without using a strike indicator or adding extra weight onto your line.  it is a method of maintaining a tight connection with your fly\, a method to dead drift your fly and to eliminate slack in your line\, and a method to maintain control over the depth and speed of your drifting fly.  Some people call this Czech nymphing\, some call it European nymphing\, and some call it tight-line nymphing. You can call it whatever you want. \nThere are a number of variations of euro-nymphing styles (Polish\, Czech\, Spanish\, French\, etc)\, each employing both similarities and differences to the other methods. If you study them all and overthink too much\, all of the information will soon put your brain on overload.  Before you blow a fuse and get discouraged\, we’ll let Josh break down this whole European-style nymphing to the basics and teach us enough to get us started. \nEuro-Nymphing Flies: \nThe types of flies for euro-nymphing will differ from many of the nymph patterns that you are accustomed to using.  They nearly all are heavily weighted for their size\, usually employing tungsten beads to get them down to the desired depth.  Along with the tungsten beads tyers often add wraps of lead wire for additional weight. \nYou will notice that many of the euro-nymph flies are also sparsely tied and have a smooth and streamlined appearance. This aids in getting the flies down quickly to the fish zone.  Many of our standard nymphs have a bushy or rough look to them\, which causes them to drop more slowly due to added friction as they sink through the water column. Many patterns employ a bright hot spot near the head or tail\, or both. The appearance of many of the flies can best be described as “attractor” patterns since they do not seem to closely resemble any life forms in the river\, (or on this planet for that matter). Suffice to say we are not trying to closely “match the hatch” when tying up many of the euro-nymph patterns. \nFlies for euro-nymphing are rapidly evolving. Here are a number of euro-nymph patterns presently in use: \nThe Perdigon \n \nThis fly was first developed by the Spanish competitive fly fishing team but really was made popular by the French team. Wraps of lead wire are often added behind the tungsten bead head.  The tail is generally coq de leon. Using different materials for wrapping the body accounts for the numerous variations of this fly.  It generally is tied with a very smooth and streamlined look\, and needs to be coated with UV resin or clear fingernail polish.  It is interesting to note that the name Perdigon comes from the Spanish word “perdigones” which translates as “pellet” or “shot”\, as in bird shot.  So the Perdigon is literally a weighted pellet with a tail\, and it drops through the water like a rock. \n \nThe Mic Drop \nA Perdigon style fly with a body made of thread wraps ribbed with wire. \n  \nThe Quilldigon \n \n  \nBasically a Perdigon made with a peacock quill body. \n  \n  \nThe Frenchie \n \nMost of the credit for this fly seems to go to Lance Egan\, a member of the USA fly fishing team.  He actually says his version is a variation of a previous pattern (perhaps borrowed from the French team?\, hence the name). Using pheasant tail fibers in the body\, it is sometimes described as a pheasant tail with a hot spot. Egan says he won one session of the world championships in 2006 using the Frenchie. \nThe Thread Frenchie \n \n  \nAs the name implies\, this fly substitutes thread for pheasant tail fibers in the body. \n  \n  \nThe GTI Caddis \n \n  \nAnother Lance Egan pattern\, GTi is a short for “Go To Imitation”.  It is a larger fly and makes a good point or anchor fly in a euro-nymph rigging. \n  \nThe Red Princess  (or Czech Princess) \n \nNot as smooth in appearance as many euro-nymph patterns due to an added cdc collar.  (Club member Kevin Luettgerodt likes this pattern after recently landing a beautiful 18-inch redside on the Metolius.) \n  \nJoin us on Wednesday\, April 24th at the Royal Treatment Fly Shop in West Linn for our next Fly Tying Night. Guest tyer Josh Linn will be guiding us in tying up euro-nymph patterns\, including some of those shown above. We will be starting at 6 pm.  Hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Fly Tying: March\, 2019 - Simi Seal Leech
DESCRIPTION:Simi Seal Leech\nLast year club member Dave Kilhefner educated me about the term “guide flies”\, those flies which can be created with a minimal number of materials.  A minimal number would be three or fewer materials\, according to Dave.  That magic number of three doesn’t generally include the hook or thread\, or weight (which is often optional). I watched Brian Silvey tie one of the flies that he designed— Silvey’s Caddis Pupa.  The recipe he provides has at least two materials that he usually doesn’t include when he ties that fly for himself and his clients.  Obviously that “guide” version is quicker and easier to tie\, and in Brian’s view is still just as effective as the complete version.  \n \nThis month we are going to tie the ultimate “guide fly”\, one that has only one material ! The fly is called the Simi Seal Leech.  There is a gentleman in Arizona named John Rohmer who is the owner of John Rohmer Materials (azflyfishing.net).  He has come up with a material that he calls “Arizona Simi Seal”\, which refers to a material that simulates natural seal fur\, which at one time was very popular for fly tying but is pretty much unavailable today.  And John Rohmer’s Simi Seal Leech is created using only Arizona Simi Seal (again\, not counting the hook\, thread\, or weight if you want to add it).  Don’t think that this material can only be used for this one fly\, as it is very versatile and can easily be used in many nymph and streamer patterns. \n \nA sample of “Canadian Brown” Simi Seal showing the complex blend of fibers. \nSimi Seal is a blend of natural and synthetic fibers that come in 50 different color combinations.  Of course John’s advertising on the packaging encourages you to “Try Every Color”!  And the 50 colors of Simi Seal is really just the tip of the iceberg because he also has other tying materials for sale\, with names like Arizona Diamond Dub\, Arizona Minnow Hair\, and the list goes on.  All of these are apparently created in the basement of a secret warehouse that is located somewhere in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona using a specially built blending machine.  If my math is correct the number of Rohmer’s dubbing blends of different types totals 258!  That blending machine must really get a workout! \n \n \nSimi Seal Leeches can be tied weighted or unweighted. \nThe Simi Seal Leech pattern is most productive in still waters but certainly has proven to  also be effective in rivers and streams.  The pattern is called a leech but its movement can simulate many life forms in the water\, including baitfish\, dragonfly nymphs\, damsel nymphs\, crawdads\, etc.\, depending on the color\, how it is weighted\, and how it is retrieved.  Weighting with a bead head can produce an attractive undulating motion.  Some fish respond well to a fly with weight wrapped evenly along the shank of the hook resulting in a more level motion as you move the fly through the water. Unweighted versions of the Simi Seal Leech can be very effective especially when fished over weedbeds.  Rohmer has found that dark patterns are effective in low light conditions\, especially early morning and late evening.  And he likes adding rubber legs when fishing for browns or bass.  \n                             \nSimi Seal Leeches can be dressed heavily or sparsely. \nWe had a terrific turnout of 15 club members for our last fly tying session.  Join us for our next Fly Tying Night on Wednesday\, March 27th to tie up a variety of Simi Seal Leeches.  The club’s Fish-A-Longs for the months of April\, May and June are all scheduled for stillwater locations so the Simi Seal Leech will be a good pattern to have in your arsenal. We will also demonstrate how you can easily produce your own version of a “simi seal” dubbing material.  We meet at The Royal Treatment Fly Shop in West Linn and will be starting at 6 pm.  Hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Fly Tying Night - Fall Baetis
DESCRIPTION:Fall Baetis  (Quill Body Baetis)\n \nMost reports indicate that steelhead fishing has been less than stellar so far this winter.  If things should suddenly turn around and the fishing picks up\, hopefully you are stocked up with enough winter steelhead flies to carry you through the season.  But as far as Fly Tying Nights go\, we are moving on to trout for the next few months. \n \nOur next scheduled Fly Tying Night comes a few weeks before the club’s scheduled Fish-A-Long on the Crooked River in March. If you look at the numbers of fish\, this river is one of the most productive trout waters in Oregon. When reading the fishing report from the club’s trip last year to the Crooked River\, one thing you will notice is that everyone caught fish! That is a testament to the recovery of trout numbers in the Crooked River after a disastrous die off in the winter of 2015-16 due to a low snow pack and low water flow.  The numbers of redband trout per mile was estimated at 8\,000 fish per mile by a ODFW survey as recently as 2013.  In 2016 the numbers dipped down to 350 fish per mile\, while an encouraging survey completed in June\,2018 showed that the numbers have bounced back to an estimated 3\,500 fish per mile in the 8 mile stretch below Bowman Dam. \n \nIf you stock up on zebra midges and blue wing olive patterns you are going to be well prepared for most days in the winter and spring on the Crooked River. I listened to a gentleman named Mike McCoy give a presentation where he talked about fishing the Crooked River.  Mike is from Battle Ground\, WA and\, besides being an avid flyfisher\, he owns a highly thought-of company called Snake Brand Guides which supplies guides and reel seats for fly rod builders.  Mike’s go-to fly for the Crooked is called a Fall Baetis.  In spite of the name “Fall” Baetis\, the hatch of blue wing olives (baetis) that we come across on the Crooked hatch is strongest from late winter into early summer. \n \nWe will be tying up some quill body baetis flies following Mike McCoy’s recipe.  The pattern has that characteristic segmented segmented body that looks so good on flies. The quills we will be using are stripped peacock quills\, which have a flattened shape and a unique color shading that helps to produce the desired segmented body appearance. At our Fly Tying Night we will be discussing which parts of a peacock feather you can use for these flies and how to strip them\, as well as sources of commercially prepared peacock quills.  For those tyers that find using the quills a little frustrating there will be a chance to learn alternative ways to achieve a segmented look on the bodies of these small flies. \nCareful wrapping of the quill results in a beautifully segmented body. \nJoin us at the Royal Treatment Fly Shop in West Linn on Wednesday\, February 27 for our next Fly Tying Night where we will be learning to work with peacock quills to tie up some quill body flies.  They will be perfect for the club’s outing on the Crooked River but will also be effective on all waters where blue wing olives are present. (And that is everywhere!)  We’ll be starting at 6:00 pm sharp.  Hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Fly Tying Night: The Popsicle
DESCRIPTION:The Popsicle\n\n \n“Popsicle” Alaskabou Fly \n\nIf you have not already done so\, it is time to get out on the water to take part in the annual search for winter chrome. While forecasts for winter steelhead have been mixed in their degrees of optimism\, we need to be prepared when the word comes that the fish are in the rivers. Our last monthly Fly Tying Night was directed toward the beginning tyer and this month we will be following up with an effective steelhead pattern that will be suitable for both experienced and beginning tyers. \nFly patterns for winter steelhead continue to steadily evolve as people experiment with ideas for what is going to work the best to entice fish to be curious enough\, or angry enough\, to take a swipe at a fly. Sometimes it is important to have a look at some old stand-by patterns and remember that they should still be worthy to occupy space in your fly box and deserve an opportunity to prove their value. My first successful experiences in the quest for winter steelhead were all the result of using variations of a fly called the Popsicle\, appropriately named for the three-toned orange\, red and purple frozen treat from childhood days. \n  \n\n \n“Tequila Sunrise” Alaskabou Fly \n\nToday George Cook is probably best known as a casting instructor and fly fishing industry representative\, but earlier in his career he spent many years as a guide. Cook is generally credited with coming up with the Popsicle back in the 1980’s during his guiding days up in Alaska. Fly tyers have long recognized the value of marabou because of its animated action in the water. Using marabou for salmon and steelhead flies was being done as early as the 1940’s\, if not before. But by combining colorful combinations of marabou along with synthetic flash materials\, George Cook carved his name into the list of noted salmon and steelhead fly innovators. \n\n \n“Showgirl” Alaskabou Fly \n\nThe Popsicle and all of its near relatives were part of a group Cook’s steelhead and salmon patterns that became known as the “Alaskabou” series of flies\, with the Popsicle probably being the best known example. All of the Alaskabou flies originally employed three colors of marabou as the main ingredients\, along with some flash material\, usually flashabou or krystal flash\, or both. With the myriad colors of marabou that are available today\, the number of possible color variations of Popsicle type flies is limited only by the tyer’s imagination.  These flies can be tied weighted or unweighted and are generally fished on the swing. \n\n \nCollection of Alaskabou Flies \n\nFor this month’s Fly Tying Night we’ll be tying up some Popsicle steelhead flies\, and perhaps some other Alaskabou color variations as well. These are not difficult flies to tie and therefore should be suitable for beginning as well as experienced tyers\, and will give you a chance to develop your skills working with marabou. Join us at The Royal Treatment Fly Shop in West Linn on Wednesday\, January 23rd. We’ll be starting at 6:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Fly Tying 101: Beginning Fly Tying—Tools\, Tips\, and Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Fly fishing is a great pastime and there are few things in the sport as satisfying as landing a fish on a fly that was created by your own hands. Do you have an interest in fly tying but you don’t know where to start? Do the terms whip finisher\, dubbing loop\, bobbin\, and hair stacker make your head spin because they sound like part of a foreign language? Or have you attended a previous Fly Tying Night and went away discouraged when you came to the quick realization that you were in way over your head? \n \nIt has been almost two years since we have offered a night of fly tying specifically aimed at folks that are really novices\, including those that have never tied a single fly. So we will be going back to the basics in November\, covering the standard tools and techniques that you will need to get started on a very interesting and rewarding hobby. Everyone should walk away with at least one fly that is ready to be field tested on the water. And who knows\, with the holiday season just around the corner\, you may end up with some great ideas for this year’s Santa Claus wish list. \n                                                     \nSo join us for an evening of beginning level fly tying on Wednesday\, November 28th. We’ll be meeting at The Royal Treatment Fly Shop in West Linn at 6:00 p.m. Bring your own fly tying tools if you have them. If you don’t have any equipment come anyway. Our friends at The Royal Treatment will loan you everything you need. Hope to see you there!
