April 5th Featured Speaker
The Art of Tenkara with Tom Sadler
Tom has been a professional guide and
instructor for 25 years. He is senior board
member of the American Fly Fishing Trade
Association and very well connected in the
fly fishing industry.
He is a dedicated Tenkara fly fisherman
and Mossy Creek’s exclusive Tenkara guide.
Tom’s passion for Tenkara was honed in
Virginia’s mountain streams where he
chases native brook trout.
He shares his extensive
knowledge of Tenkara on his blog
MiddleRiverDispatches.com.
His reputation as a Tenkara
devotee makes him sought after
as a guide and speaker. Tom’s
day job is Deputy Director of
the Marine Fish Conservation
Network.

Winchester TU 2018 Speaker Schedule Mark your calendar now and plan to hear all of these presentations.
May 3rd - Fly Tying with Art Overcash
June 7th - Virginia Conservation Officer
August 2nd - Luke Iwanowicz, PhD
October 4th - Carol Heiser of Virginia DGIF This is our annual Joint meeting with Northern Shenandoah Valley Audubon Society
If you have an idea for a Winchester TU
meeting speaker, please let Phil know.
We are always looking for great
programs on topics of interest to the fly
angler.
Master fly-tyer, Art Overcash, will be here in May to tie
some flies with us. He is active with the Potomac Valley Fly
Fishers, Frederick, MD, who provided this photo.
Tom says, “I remembering dabbling in fly tying in my
youth. I would give my flies to friends who fly fished to
try and report back to me on their success. I personally
never picked up a fly rod until much later in life. “I returned to fly tying in 1996 after the death of my
11 year old daughter from cancer to help alleviate the
heartache of such a loss. I followed the tying techniques
of many of the old-school tiers and developed many of my
own techniques that worked best for me over the years.”
Tom has taught students of all ages, from Cub Scouts to
senior citizens. He now teaches a fly-of-the- month at the
Beaver Creek Fly Shop in Hagerstown.
The Winchester TU Programs Committee is planning to have a Virginia Conservation
Officer speak at our June meeting. We will publish details once they are finalized.
A research biologist with the USGS at the National Fish Health
Research lab in Leetown, WV, Luke will discuss regional fish health
issues.
His primary research focuses on the application of resident
fishes as sentinels of aquatic ecosystem health, the development
of molecular tools for field study, and the identification of
emerging diseases of fishes. He also leads a Core Technology Team
established to evaluate environmental water samples for biological
activity including endocrine disrupting activity and toxicity.

Bud on the Run: Update on the March Workday and
Plans for the April 7th Workday at Redbud Run Next workday is set for 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 7th

On April 7th, it will be further dragged into the stream as phase one of a new flow-focus-semi-dam at the head of a great,
natural pool.
The thesis here is to construct a device which will be safe from destruction by high flows and will enhance a natural
pool.
Dragging this log to the stream bank was a major operation guided by cable genius Terry using one turning block, but
also the dragging power of Bill’s new power winch attached to his big Takoma. It wasn’t all that simple, though.
Visualize the cable routed through the turning block attached by Bud’s venerable, decrepit, bent-up link, chain to a tree
to move the log parallel to the stream maybe 15’ before a switch in the pulling direction to move the log to the stream
bank. (See the photo below.)
We had a good crew of five on March
3rd made up of Terry, Bill, Clark, Mike,
and Bud.
We had great weather, one good chain
saw, and one bad one. Unfortunately,
Bud’s Stihl 180 continued to carbon up
the spark plug and malfunction to the
extent that its use for clearing oak
limbs in the stream failed miserably.
A trip to the Stihl dealer after the work
session, hopefully, corrected the
problem.
However, Terrys’ big Husky
performed perfectly as usual and
prepared a 28’x20” red oak log for
dragging to the stream bank.
Then visualize Bill’s initial use of the power
winch moving the truck towards the stream
instead of the log.
Fairly quickly, the use of chocks under the
Takoma’s front wheels resolved that problem.
All of this chaining/turnblocking/chocking along
with adjustments of the 200’ base cable in use
kept Bill running 300’ sprints while Mike and
Bud watched for Terry and Clark’s semaphore
signals through the shrubbery and tree-trunk
visual obstacles.
Bottom line: log ready for phase two which will
install the log perpendicular to the stream flow
with log ends projecting several feet into the
stream banks at both ends and held in place by
½” rebar.
The top of the log will only be a few inches above normal stream flow with a mid-stream channel cut into the log
to direct flow into the middle of the pool.
The proper cut will result in a few inch waterfall for aeration, the creation of focused flow for pool-depth
enhancement, and the encouragement of quiet water at both sides of the cut at the stream bed under the log for
fish-resting water and feeding potential.

Winchester TU Monthly “BarFly” Event
Wednesday, April 11th at 7:00 p.m. Escutcheon Brewery, Commercial St., Winchester
The Winchester Chapter of Trout Unlimited will be gathering at Escutcheon
Brewing in Winchester to offer anglers and non-anglers in our area the
opportunity to learn about Trout Unlimited and to tie some fishing flies.
We hope all of you can attend our monthly “BarFly” at Escutcheon Brewery.
The brewery and tasting room are located at
142 W. Commercial St.
Winchester, VA

No fly-tying or fly-fishing experience is
necessary.
Please invite your friends. We hope to
introduce more folks to the Winchester TU
chapter and support a local business that
supports WTU.

article and photos by Bud Nagelvoort
Robert ties his first fishing fly: A shad dart.
Critical to the performance of this log will be the
placement of smaller logs plugging most of the
flow otherwise undercutting the major log. Those
logs will be dimensioned to fill the space between
the dam log and the stream bed. They will be held
in place by appropriate sized rocks to minimize
leakage.
After placement of the smaller logs and their rock
support, major large rocks/boulders will be placed
at the dam-log ends to protect against erosion
around the bank ends and dovetail with the rocks
supporting the undercutting-prevention logs.
Simple, eh? We shall see. 10 AM on April 7th.
Terry and his trusty Husqvarna prepare an oak log for use as stream structure on Redbud Run.

Back Cast: Fly Fishing and Other
Such Matters
Author: Jeff Metcalf Paperback: 194 pages ISBN-10: 1607816121 ISBN-13: 978-1607816126 Publisher: University of Utah Press Publication Date: April 27, 2018 A storyteller and avid fly fisherman, Jeff Metcalf is, for compelling personal reasons, an enhanced observer of the human condition, who finds himself often in the streams of the American West. Not only rivers run through his essays, his cancer does too. But so do camaraderie, adventures, reveling in nature and outdoor devotions, and the sheer bliss of focused engagement with the fish and the cast. Metcalf’s keenly observed companions are river guides, small-town locals, academics, and other city folk, all like him among those who run to the river for solace and joy. These essays are much more than fish stories; they reveal the community and communion of fishing and the bonds to place the author nurtured through it. Whether he recalls carousing and tale-swapping with friends or excellence found through the challenge of the cast, Metcalf’s words, sometimes roiling and turbulent, sometimes calm and reflective, like a western river, vividly convey the pull of the steelhead and the fight for survival. Whether or not you fish, Metcalf’s sharp-eyed, open, and honest look at life will draw you in. “This collection of essays is ostensibly about fly-fishing, but like the best writing in this genre, it resonates far more broadly. The narrator comes to the river while dealing with major questions about his health [cancer]. The wry humor and evocative writing are set in contrapuntal fashion against reminders to live fully in the moment.” —James Barilla, author of West With the Rise: Fly Fishing Across America Jeff Metcalf is a professor of English at the University of Utah and has been the recipient of numerous awards. His fiction and essays have appeared in local and national magazines and his most recent play, A Slight Discomfort, has been widely staged in both the United States and Europe. His first collection of essays, Requiem for the Living, was the winner of the 2012 Utah Division of Arts and Museums Original Writing Competition. Sources: amazon.com and the publishers
The Feather Thief: Beauty,
Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century
Author: Kirk Wallace Johnson Hardcover: 320 pages ISBN-10: 110198161X ISBN-13: 978-1101981610 Publisher: Viking Publication Date: April 24, 2018 A rollicking true-crime adventure and a thought-provoking exploration of the human drive to possess natural beauty for readers of The Stranger in the Woods, The Lost City of Z, and The Orchid Thief. On a cool June evening in 2009, after performing a concert at London's Royal Academy of Music, twenty-year-old American flautist Edwin Rist boarded a train for a suburban outpost of the British Museum of Natural History. Home to one of the largest ornithological collections in the world, the Tring museum was full of rare bird specimens whose gorgeous feathers were worth staggering amounts of money to the men who shared Edwin's obsession: the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying. Once inside the museum, the champion fly-tier grabbed hundreds of bird skins -- some collected 150 years earlier by a contemporary of Darwin's, Alfred Russel Wallace, who'd risked everything to gather them -- and escaped into the darkness. Two years later, Kirk Wallace Johnson was waist high in a river in northern New Mexico when his fly-fishing guide told him about the heist. He was soon consumed by the strange case of the feather thief. What would possess a person to steal dead birds? Had Edwin paid the price for his crime? What became of the missing skins? In his search for answers, Johnson was catapulted into a years-long, worldwide investigation. The gripping story of a bizarre and shocking crime, and one man's relentless pursuit of justice, The Feather Thief is also a fascinating exploration of obsession, and man's destructive instinct to harvest the beauty of nature. Kirk W. Johnson is the author of To Be a Friend Is Fatal and the founder of the List Project to Resettle Iraqi Allies. His writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, among others. He is the recipient of fellowships from Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony, the American Academy in Berlin, and the USC Annenberg Center.

My Life Was This Big: And Other True Fishing Tales
Author: Lefty Kreh Paperback: 288 pages ISBN-10: 1628736933 ISBN-13: 978-1628736939 Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing Publication Date: Reprint edition (March 2014) Timeless fishing stories from the most beloved angler of our time. The brilliant fisherman, instructor, and public speaker Lefty Kreh is perhaps the best known, most respected, and most beloved angler in the world today. My Life Was This Big takes readers on an angling journey through the last half century, when water was big and fishermen were bigger. But, despite all that’s changed since the fifties, when Lefty began his career as a professional fly fisherman and writer, fishing is still just fishing. In My Life Was This Big, Lefty shares his tales of fishing expeditions with Fidel Castro and Ernest Hemingway, as well as solo battles with some of the scrappiest, most elusive fish in the world. Lefty also takes the reader through the development of his world-famous “Deceiver” fly style, and takes on the issue of conservation through catch-and-release. These timeless, often hilarious stories will put you in the boat with Lefty—and even teach you a thing or two about fly fishing along the way! This is a glimpse into the heart and soul of Lefty Kreh—a man who has written for nearly every outdoor magazine in the United States; a man who has fished some of the remotest parts of the globe; and a man whose books and articles have taught thousands of people his techniques for hooking and landing more fish. For fans both young and old, these are Lefty’s stories. Sources: amazon.com and the publishers

Our old friend Carl wrote this piece for LATERAL LINES back in October 2000.
On The Fly by Carl Rettenberger (an excerpt)
I’ve caught a lot of trout in my life, but none as big as the two 12-inch rainbows I caught one Sunday afternoon in September. These were our fish, stocked last fall when they were only six or seven inches long. They lived through the year on a stream which for years would not support trout. Big deal, right? Yes, it is a big deal to those of us who have worked long and hard on a little stream called Chapel Run! No, it is not the Rapidan and the silt loading is heavy, but with the help of Lee Warner we are making great strides in turning this stream back into a good cold water fishery. Chapel has all the necessary ingredients to support trout life: water that never gets above the mid-60s; spring fed, so that it maintains a good base flow; water with a great pH level; and water with a good supply of dissolved oxygen. For those of you who don’t know Lee Warner, Lee makes his living raising cattle on the lands through which our section of Chapel Run flows. Lee had worked with us by building new fences with good riparian buffers to keep his stock from destroying the stream banks and by digging wells for off stream watering. What does Lee get in return? Only the satisfaction of knowing that he is helping in creating a habitat capable of sustaining life. Remember, we have been stocking Chapel Run for four or five years, and these are the first hold-overs we have been able to maintain. With all this said, what would make me even happier then catching these two 12 inch rainbows would be seeing a healthy fingerling. This is what we are working for – giving back to nature one of her life blood lines, clear, cold, and pure. Bud on the Run By Bud Nagelvoort Redbud Run. Vince Snyder, a natural resource technician with the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District, is setting up a meeting this month with Frank Sanders, Director of Public Utilities for Winchester, to discuss possibilities for implementing a CREP project on Redbud Run at Fay Spring, which would include fencing cattle out of the stream. The city owns 100 acres there, but we don’t know yet how much stream is included. We’re working on a Memorandum of Understanding among TU, the Opequon Watershed, the City of Winchester, Jack McAllister, and hopefully other property owners on the stream, to develop a recreation fishery. It won’t be easy, but the potential is great since the stream offers substantial diversity -- from Mossy Creek-like cress beds at Fay Spring, to Chapel Run-like rock outcrop waterfalls in deeply incised marl banks at Seipels, to long and fast shallow water stretches flowing over shale at McAllister’s.

PHW Update
April Report
Phil Stevens, PHW Program Lead Martinsburg VAMC
Casting classes at the Martinsburg VA Hospital are scheduled for 4, 11, 18, 25 April starting at 1230. The Leetown Hatchery visit is now set for 27 April, and I would ask that volunteers arrive at Leetown at 0830 to get equipment set up. Casting classes have been scheduled at Boulder Crest Retreat for 3 and 11 April. At the moment I do not know if I will need additional support, but will reach out to the volunteers if necessary. The Martinsburg VA Hospital now has a Recreational Director in place for the outpatient community. I will be meeting with her to review the PHW program and discuss the best ways to reach out to the outpatient community. Lastly, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Mike Nemec and Bob Ryan for their support in expanding the reach of PHW. Mike made an introduction to the Leetown Isaak Walton League that resulted in the group offering the use of their pond for VA vets to fish. Bob Ryan organized a meeting with the Winchester AMVETS to present PHW and thereby expand the program's visibility. Great support from both gentlemen and their respective organizations.

ANGLER REFLECTIONS
February in the Park article and photo by Dave Juth
Weather: The afternoon was “chilly” at 72. We suffered mightily at a secret location in the SNP.
Fish: I spent the morning with the same dry/dropper rig Bill is known to use, like last week on his 30+ fish day. All but one took the dropper. I missed many strikes. Probably doubled my cumulative lifetime hours of nymphing for small stream Brookies… hope to never do it again. Editor’s Note: Dave is a dry fly angler. He only uses nymphs as a last resort.
In the afternoon, water temp rose from 36 to almost 40. A large and wild-looking Royal Wulff finally worked after trying a few others. Like Bill, I had two fish that were normal sized all day, the rest were much bigger. We worried about what that means for that stream.

Poet’s Corner: Poems selected for the angler
An April Day
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1807 - 1882
USA
When the warm sun, that brings
Seed-time and harvest, has returned again,
'T is sweet to visit the still wood, where springs
The first flower of the plain.
I love the season well
When forest glades are teeming with bright forms,
Nor dark and many-folded clouds foretell
The coming-in of storms.
From the earth's loosened mould
The sapling draws its sustenance, and thrives;
Though stricken to the heart with winter's cold,
The drooping tree revives.
The softly-warbled song
Comes through the pleasant woods, and coloured wings
Glance quick in the bright sun, that moves along
The forest openings.
When the bright sunset fills
The silver woods with light, the green slope throws
Its shadows in the hollows of the hills,
And wide the upland glows.
And when the eve is gone,
In the blue lake the sky, o'er-reaching far,
Is hollowed out, and the moon dips her horn,
And twinkles many a star.
Inverted in the tide
Stand the gray rocks, and trembling shadows throw,
And the fair trees look over, side by side,
And see themselves below.
Sweet April! -- many a thought
Is wedded unto thee, as hearts are wed;
Nor shall they fail, till, to its autumn brought,
Life's golden fruit is shed.

Tech on the Water: Sunscreen for Redheads
When fishing under Virginia’s intense summer sun, technology provides anglers a wide array of products to protect ourselves from the sun’s harmful rays. America’s most respected consumer magazine has just come out with its sunscreen recommendations for 2018, and good old COPPERTONE has surprised the magazine with its new SPF 250 blend. The consumer magazine editors say in their on-line article, “Coppertone REDHEAD is by far the most effective sunscreen we have seen in our 37 years of testing sunscreens.” Including a proprietary ingredient, REDHEAD is made for those folks who sunburn easily. Here are the consumer magazine’s top-rated products, the manufacturer’s price per ounce, the consumer magazine’s estimated cost per 8-hour day in the sun, and the scores assigned to them by the researchers.
-- Bill Prokopchak
#1 Coppertone Redhead $1.46 per ounce $2.92 per fishing day Recommended application only every 4 hours 100 overall score
#2 La Roche-Posay $7.20 per ounce $28.80 per fishing day Requires application every 2 hours 98 overall score
#4 Pure Sun Defense $0.92 per ounce $3.68 per fishing day Requires application every 2 hours 95 overall score
#3 Equate $0.63 per ounce $2.52 per fishing day Requires application every 2 hours 97 overall score
#5 Coppertone WaterBabies $1.50 per ounce $6.00 per fishing day Requires application every 2 hours 94 overall score
