Fishing Reports- The Redwine’s and Randall’s ventured to Long Lake last weekend and caught numerous cutthroat trout averaging inches using sinking lines and numerous different flies. Virgil reported they caught fish on every fly they used, from Olive Wooly Buggers, to Damsel Flies. Tera reported she had never caught so many fish on her fly rod as she did that weekend. Membership Drive- We have public service announcements on KWIQ Radio, ads in Nickel Saver and Columbia Basin Herald and fliers at the Ephrata and Moses Lake Fly Shops. In addition we have a flier posted at Big R and Tri-State. Eileen mentioned that we should update fliers and provide a phone number perforation at the bottom. Everyone thought it was a good idea and the fliers will be updated within the next week. Also, Tera built a Facebook page for the club and has had over 5 hits within the last two weeks.

Mike Williams has been to CoffeePot numerous times, so we expect him to teach us how to tie those “killer” flies at that meeting!! The Club will provide Hamburgers and Brats on Friday night, and Steak on Saturday, Let Tera know at or before the next meeting if you are attending so she can get a head count and assign you a “item” you can bring to share at the evening dinners. You are on your own for breakfast and lunches. Speakers- We assigned a few club members to check with prospective speakers for our meetings. Evan is going to contact Pat from the Moses Lake fly Shop. Jim is going to contact Jesse and John from Westslope Fly Shop in Spokane. Eileen is going to contact Big Bend College to see who taught the spring course on fly fishing. Other-There was some interest in having another Casting Clinic for the general public, possibly in October or early spring, we decided to discuss this more at the next meeting.

Everyone attending the September 20 th meeting is to bring SIX QUALITY flies that they would like to swap with other club members. `

1. Dress the hook with the thread until even with the centre of the hook barb. 2. Tie in several strands of the deer hair, keeping the hair on top. 3. Strip a small amount of feather from the base of the hackle and tie in with the tail. 4. Tie in the Chenille by back wrapping over the tail and then moving forward. Stop wrapping far enough from the eye to allow for a built up head. 5. Wrap the hackle forward and tie down with a couple wraps and a whip finish knot and trim off the remaining hackle. 6. Build up the head, whip finish and seal with head cement. ` Jim Randall and his wife Gloria at Long Lake Virgil and Jim at Long Lake Fly of the Month ` Head JC WOOLY WORM Materials: Thread: 6/0 Black Uni-thread Hook: 3x-Long Nymph Tail: Red Deer hair Body: Yellow medium Chenille Hackle: Gold cement 2011 Officers Richard Schmidt Woody Jacobson Jim Randall Tera Redwine Mike Williams President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Librarian
