Drag-free Drifts BY WILL WATERBURY President, WFC wwaterbu@yahoo.com
W
elcome to the first of twelve installments of your new president’s ramblings about fishy stuff and club stuff. As I began in earnest to think about what to put in the president’s “Drag Free Drifts” column, I reflected for a few moments on how it was that I came to be writing it in the first place. It stems from a memorable day in May of 1980 on the banks of the Metolius (Me’-tow-lee-us) River in central Oregon. My first day in pursuit of fish with fly and fly rod in hand, was more complicated than I anticipated. Early on, I caught my foot vaulting over a rail fence and landed in a heap, just barely avoiding breaking my new Fenwick HMG series 8 Wt. fiberglass fly rod. This graceful event was followed shortly thereafter by stepping off a shear ledge in the river as I was trying to net my buddy’s fish. The water went from a foot deep to 12 feet deep and roaring. I was promptly sucked down into the torrent and just as quickly popped back out like a cork, right back onto the ledge a few feet down stream (the third of my
nine lives done). Having discovered some time earlier that I have a knack for filling hip boots with water, and why I now wear waders, I simply laid down, lifted my feet, drained the water and continued the pursuit of my first fish on a fly. The only thing I managed to catch was a good case of poison oak that afternoon. So ended my first six hours as a fly fisherman. After changing into dry clothes and enjoying a camp dinner favored by young males, (something canned and sure to stimulate methane production), it was time to embark on hour seven. So it was on that evening, too early in the year for the mosquitoes to be bothersome, before the poison oak had made its presence known on various body parts, and with nary a breeze rustling the needles of the husky ponderosa pines on the bank of the crystal clear Metolius, I cast my stovepipe nymph pattern into the water. Thirty minutes of casting and figuring out how to get a good drift was finally rewarded with the tell tale twitch of the rod say-
ing “fish on.” There are few things in life that punch your validation ticket quite like holding in your hand, a beautiful foot-long trout that is the first one you have coaxed out of the water with a fly rod. It was savoring that moment, in those surroundings, which shifted my fishing focus to fly-fishing and its accompanying paraphernalia. Well, enough reflecting, I am looking forward to this coming year as president of WFC and I do have a few ideas that I hope will benefit the club. I will have more to say about those in future “drifts.” It seems that most organizations go through waves of interest in members being involved in leadership roles, and I sense that we are currently in a trough. I really enjoy the members I have interacted with and it is clear that we have a wealth of knowledge, talent, skill, and history bound up in the noggins of the membership. I would like to see the (continued on next page)

Wyoming Fly Casters Monthly Newsletter (continued from previous page) club capitalize on its strengths and encourage folks to look for occasions to share and even teach some of what they know. Here I’m thinking of sharing knowledge about reading water, teaching someone how to navigate a drift boat, and inviting a fellow member along for a day of fishing (thanks to Joe for all of his outings). Another sharing I encourage you to think about is helping out on the executive committee. It should not come as a big surprise that we are looking for a vice-president and presidentelect. If you haven’t been on the executive committee in a few years please think about doing it again, and if you are a newer member please consider throwing your name in the hat. I have really enjoyed getting to know the board members and the other executive committee folks. They are a great, and fun, group to work with. If you are wondering more about what you can expect from me this year I can tell you this much. I am interested in strengthening the ties within the club, facilitating networking and communication among members, so that our club grows in both numbers and quality of member’s experiences. Other things we’ll address in further “drifts” will be building on the club’s strengths, the possibility of some sort of name tags for meetings (I am terrible at retaining names and I bet some others are as well), checking interest in family, new member and youth activities, and identifying a conservation project beyond the adopt-a-highway program, which we will try to schedule for clean-up at the April general meeting. I want to acknowledge Randy Stalker as the editor of the newsletter. I know he is trying to get this out before the banquet, and if he does it will be another editor feather in his cap. So, should you see this before the banquet, I hope to see you there and get your tickets before they are all gone. I think it is a privilege to be your president for this year and I definitely am looking forward to getting to know more of you and spending some time fishing with some new folks as well. Here’s to windless days on the water,

he last week of March, Spencer Amend came by my office for a chat. An hour and a half later, we wrapped up our meeting but I knew there was much more I needed to hear about his accomplishments at work, at home and in the field. About 68 years ago, Spencer was born in Great Bend, KS. For 18 years he lived in the same house and after graduating from high school, he moved to Enid, OKwhere he studied science at Phillips University. While working on a science degree, he read a book titled, Our Wildlife Legacy, by Durward Leon Allen and it changed his career aspirations from working in a lab to working with wildlife. Freshly motivated to devote his work life to wildlife management, Spencer set out to find the best place to study the subject. After learning that Utah State University was the place to go, he moved there, studied, and earned both a bachelor’s and baster’s degree in wildlife management. His first job after college was a district biologist position with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in Yadkinville, NC. After a couple of years, he went to work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as a biologist. Quickly, he became the nation’s mourning dove biologist based at the Patuxent Wildlife Preserve in Laurel, Maryland. After learning more than he ever wanted to know about mourning doves, Spencer developed an interest in management. Not just an interest in being in charge of something but learning how to apply the best management science to the running of fish and wildlife agencies. Fortunately, the USFWS had confidence in Spencer and they allowed him to devote over 20 years to making the agency into a more effective organization.
Spencer Amend
Spencer humbly commented that he is deeply honored to have been allowed to devote much of his work life to improving the management of state, federal, and overseas agencies that manage fish and wildlife. Spencer cited four professional projects he is proud to have been a part. First, while attending Utah State, he started a series of student wildlife conclaves. The initial intention was to get wildlife management students and faculty members to understand one another’s points of view on a variety of topics. A recent posting on the Utah State University web-site reports that those conclaves Spencer started are carrying on to this day. In fact, in March of this year, Utah State students won first place awards in the 46th Annual Western Student Wildlife Conclave at Northern California’s Humbold State University. Second, he started the Organization of Wildlife Planners (OWP), which is an affiliate of the International Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies. The purpose of the OWP was to help improve the management of fish and wildlife agencies and to
help support the professional lives of the membership. The OWP carries on to this day. Third, he started the USFWS Management Assistance Team and led it during his last 10 years with the agency. The team provided numerous services to his agency including management audits and training in time management, leadership, and how to engage with the public. Fourth, while running a consulting firm, he was asked by the World Health Organization to put together a team to help Sri Lankan officials better manage the national parks in Sri Lanka. His team spent two months in Sri Lanka, holding workshops in communities, learning lots about the sacred elephants of that region, and at the end of the project they left their international colleagues with a management plan for the Yala National Park which has large numbers of elephants. Spencer retired several years ago, moved to Casper, and he fishes twelve months a year. He’s an active member of the WFC and currently serves on (continued on next page)

(continued from previous page) the board of directors. He describes his fellow club members as a “good bunch of folks.” He likes the fact that the club members spend a fair amount of time fishing but they also work to conserve the fishery. They “don’t do one to the exclusion of the other. We can be watchdogs and activists at the same time we are fishing.” His dream trip is to take the luxury train, east to west, across Australia. The Indian Pacific train is the most comfortable route from Sydney to Perth for those who aren’t in a hurry. Spencer has more than one fly rod and he’s getting a new one. After testing several rods, he settled on the new Sage VXP in a 6 weight. He bought a blank and his long-term friend, Tommy Shropshire in Perry, MS, is building the rod. The completed rod will be customized for Wyoming winters in that it will have larger guides that won’t ice up as quickly as the smaller guides we see on conventional fly rods. Spencer doesn’t do anything he considers to be a hobby. As a supplement to his fly fishing habit, he ties flies he can’t buy. In particular, he enjoys tying, “ Harley Reno streamliners” in various sizes. The streamliner is an all-around streamer that passes for a more than adequate baitfish and crawfish imitation. It’s odd characteristic is that it’s tied on a jig hook. Can’t buy that one in the local fly shops. I encourage everyone to get to know Spencer. If I were you, I would offer to drive on an outing, pay for the fuel, and get ready to tie in to some large trout. Though Spencer won’t show you every hole he fishes, he will show you enough to convince you that his life of service to fish and those agencies that manage them is paying off during his retirement.

I
t’s Sunday afternoon. The temperature and wind velocity are both in the high 40s, and I’m stuck in the basement (that’s good; it’s a place my wife calls “the man cave.”) The turntable’s Shure stylus is tracking the grooves of the Focus III LP, and the chords of Jann Akkerman’s guitar provide the perfect audio complement to the task at hand. Soothing and relaxing. You see, I’m stuck at home. The ‘93 Ford pickup needs a new water pump (I can’t understand why; it only has 212,000 miles on it), so I’m reduced to driving the ‘57 Chevy to and from the rifle plant. Rather than attempting to play shadetree mechanic in the howling wind, I took ole red to a local pro from Dover. So instead of fishing, I’m at home, marooned as it were. Actually, I haven’t been fishing since late November. So if you can’t fish, you can restock your boxes from the previous year’s losses. Actually, I had a pretty good incentive. I realized my boxes were sadly deficient in a number of areas. I’m doing a pretty amateurish job of trying to duplicate the McGruber baetis and PMD patterns taught during a late February clinic by professional guide and fellow Glenrockian Blake Jackson. The clinic was fairly well attended by both veterans and new members. It was a treat to learn some new patterns and innovative technics from a master. Unfortunately, I had to leave before Blake started on his hopper and streamer patterns. So my fly boxes are being filled between breaks prompted by turning over the LP to side two. Before I was done tying, I had listened to albums from Focus, Chuck Mangione’s Land of Make Believe and Tim Weisberg’s Hurtwood Edge with, of course, some vintage Moody Blues thrown in. (Some terrific music has and probably will not be released in digital format.)
The red pickup should be back in action by the time you read this. Maybe by the time of the April 2 club banquet I’ll have at least one fishing report, or a story at least, to tell. Speaking of the banquet, it’s slated for 7 p.m. at the Ramada Inn Riverside (formerly the Holiday Inn). Those of you reading this column from electronic delivery may still have time to get your tickets. Although I’m trying to get this newsletter out early for the benefit of you hard copy recipients, by the time it is delivered by the post awful it may be too late. • Plans for the idea of a float tubeonly outing on the Glenrock stretch of the Platte River are still in their infancy. The only thing firm at this point is that float tubes and pontoons will be the requested means of transporation. As the Platte’s flows have been increased to over 3500 cfs, it should be an enjoyable couple of hours. Maybe the fish will even cooperate. From my experience, I have never been able to score a lot of fish on the river east of Casper, but what fish I was lucky enough to catch have been bragging size. A date has not yet been set. A chili and dinner roll snack may be offered at the end of the four-mile float from Big Muddy to Rabbit Hill. This could be offered in April, but May seems a more realistic time frame so we’re not at the mercy of the weather. If you are interested, drop me a line. This outing may be particularly enticing to those of you who don’t have a drift boat or are never invited on a trip by someone who does. I have an extra pontoon boat to loan, just as long as you bring your own fins. You could start to organize your fly patterns, though. A basic selection would include rock worms, San Juan worms, vanilla buggers, scuds, halfbacks, pheasant tail nymphs, hare’s ears and Barr’s emergers. Yeah -- the basic arsenal used for Grey Reef and government bridge. Tight lines,

‘Nymph Fishing Basics’ is reviewed BY SPENCER AMEND Nymph Fishing Basics, with Rick Hafele and John Smeraglio. 2006. 71 minutes. I thought this might be a little elementary, or because of the company name (Laughing River Productions) I thought it might be too silly for serious Fly Casters, but I was wrong on both scores. I definitely picked up a few hints and gained some useful knowledge. My biggest disappointment was that someone who checked it out ahead of me either had a dirty DVD player, or they let one of their dogs slobber on the disc; the last 15 minutes or so were completely unintelligible. So if you decide to check this one out, be prepared to miss the last parts (the first parts make it worth viewing), or maybe you know how to clean discs. Here goes: According to these graduates of Bugwan University (Bug U), nymph fishing is the most effective technique of consistently taking trout. In the video they caught a lot of whitefish, too. Their streamside activities were filmed in Oregon and the video talked only about flowing waters. The 3 keys to successful nymph fishing are identified as (1) fish the right fly, (2) fish the right water, and (3) use the correct technique. They say

Some members may not be aware of the WFC DVD/Video library. Through the efforts of Board members Bill Wichers and Bob Fischer, with a bit of help from yours truly, members have available a host of DVD titles sure to expand your knowledge and skills. The library is maintained and videos can be checked out at the Ugly Bug . Please check out only one video at a time, and return them promptly. OK: these videos might not immediately make you able to fish a dry fly like Bill Mixer, catch fish anywhere like Joe Meyer, cast into the wind like Marty Robinson, or sniff out the big ones like Alex Rose, but I’m betting they will add enjoyment to your fishing and put more fish on your lines. Partly as a reminder, and partly to try and stimulate your use of the library, for the next several months I’ll continue reviewing a “video of the month” [unless the fishing is so good I don’t have time]. I hope it will encourage you to take up systematic pursuit of additional knowledge; I know it will be beneficial for me. Tight lines!
that fish feed under water 75 percent of the time. (I thought it might be higher, actually.) Nymph fishing is the fail safe way to catch fish. Anybody can learn how to nymph fish, and it is possible to teach the earliest beginner these techniques. As to when to nymph fish, it sounded like pretty much any time, although they identify a few times that it may work better than at other times. Sunrise and sunset are prime times, as well as the hours before a hatch begins. Fish below a riffle and through deep runs. Fish a slightly weighted nymph to begin with and unless you get hung up, add weight. Dead drift your nymphs to the end of the swing; fish often take a fly as it rises at the end of a dead drift. They talk about using a shock loop, a loop of a foot or so of fly line hanging off the reel and pinned against your rod with your finger when fishing nymphs downstream. They say to let the loop slip through your fingers on the take, and to set the hook by moving the rod to the side rather than lifting it straight up. You want your fly moving right along the bottom; test this by being willing to get hung up once in a while. Change flies; don’t use an ineffective fly. Learn knots and be able to change flies quickly. They suggest sampling bugs on the bottom with a net to learn what fish are likely to be eating. I’ve rarely seen this done, although some
of my friends claim to do it once in a while. Sampling bugs off the bottom might be something to do if you can’t otherwise begin catching fish right away. Although they don’t mention it in the video, pumping a caught fish’s stomach is another way to get a handle on what they are eating. Maybe they didn’t mention it because it is a form of cruelty to the fish. In order, fish nymphs that are most abundant, most mature, and most available. They provided a good basic lesson in streamside entomology, showing which flies can be used to imitate the most common insects. Their examples sounded like things we use around here. With your fly, try to imitate first the size of the natural, second the shape, and third the color. They were in the midst of a lesson on strike indicators when the video played out. But before I lost them, they reviewed a host of different indicators, favoring those that are easily moved up or down as stream depth changes. Their rule of thumb is to put the indicator two times the depth above the fly. They also gave and demonstrated several presentation alternatives that they claim improve fishing success over and above the common dead drift. They also talked a bit about presentation in terms of getting a couple of flies, some weight, and a strike indicator on the water without constantly being tangled.

More about brown trout BY HERB WATERMAN
Chef Ptomaine with a brown trout from the Cardwell access.
I
n 1941, the Germans invaded and occupied Yugoslavia. Probably shortly after the invasion, the Nazis executed a young Yugoslavian woman, Rosna I. Ekoslask Ispitivanja. In the 1930s, Ispitivanja studied the Ohrid brown trout living in Lake Ohrid, a large deep lake in the southwest corner of Macedonia-Yugoslavia. Seventy percent of the lake is in Macedonia and 30 percent in Albania. Her study was supervised by professors from Beograde University (Belgrade). Although Ispitivanja had completed her manuscript before the outbreak of World War II, she did not live to see it published. After the war her professor, Dusica Stenovic, assisted in compilation of her work and it was published in 1948. Lake Ohrid has a maximum depth of 940 feet. The Ohrid brown spawns naturally in the lake and this occurrence excited fish managers that his trout might sustain in deep lakes and reservoirs in the United States. The document, “Racial and Ecological Study of the Ohrid Salmonids,” was published in the United States in 1966. On Feb. 17, 1965, 100,000 eggs of the Ohrid brown, Salmo Letnica, were received and hatched at the federal hatchery in Manchester, IA. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Colorado and Wyoming subsequently received eggs from the Manchester hatchery. Only Tennessee and Wyoming were able to establish a brood stock. In February 1970, the Ten Sleep hatchery received 20,000 eyed Ohrid eggs from Manchester. From this supply of eggs a brood stock was established at the Clark’s Fork hatchery. Eggs were hatched in 1973 and 1974. This produced approximately 200,000 fingerlings which were planted in 1973 and 1974 in Goldeneye Reservoir, 30 miles northwest of Casper. In 1970, 10,296 Ohrid fingerlings were planted in Viva Naughton Reservoir. In July 1974, 2051 six-inch Ohrids were stocked in
Lower Medicine Lodge Lake. The plantings in Viva Naughton and Lower Medicine Lodge Lake did not sustain themselves. In the late 1970s, the Ohrids were planted in Pathfinder Reservoir. At the second annual Pathfinder Boat Club’s ice fishing derby, many Ohrids were caught. How long does this fish live? Ispitivanja mentions 7-year old fish in her document. Possibly the fish caught at the ice fishing derby were of a generation born in Pathfinder. The Ohrids closely resemble the brown, Salmo trutta, although there are external differences a knowledgeable fishery biologist can recognize. A retired fishery biologist told me a guy showed him a 2 lb. Ohrid caught several years ago. Bill Mixer caught a
brown in the fall of 2010 on the Mile which was identified as an Ohrid brown. There are some mounted Ohrids in the lobby of the Game and Fish office.
