Cascade Family Flyfishers annual picnic is

Thursday, August 22nd. Everyone should have

received your evite by email. Open it up to reply,

as the dish to bring to the potluck is inside the

invitation. Items to bring to the potluck are

determined alphabetically by last name. This is

always a well attended gathering. Steve Overall

will once again be flexing his barbeque prowess.

I look forward to seeing all of you there. This

date is also Skip Hosfield’s birthday, one of the

founding members of our club, and we all wish

him a great birthday celebration

The auction is just around the corner. Kat and

Frank are counting on your auction donations.

Donations do not have to be fishing related. The

auction is the major method for providing money

for our activities, speakers, room rental, supplies,

educational activities and youth program. Be

sure to come and support your club.

With August heat upon us, it is a good time to

head up to the top of the mountain to beat the

heat to do some fishing. Some great

opportunities will be the Gold Lake Fishing Derby

in September. I hear Mike Marlatt won’t make it

this year, so the trophy is up for grabs. The

Metolius outing is also planned for September

with Diamond Lake in October. I would like to

thank Dennis Munroe and Joe Moody for hosting

the outing to Lava Lake last weekend. We are

coming up on our last outings of the year. Be

sure to participate in the fun and fishing.

See you all at the picnic.

Randy

Every story has a beginning, and the story of

Cascade Family Fly Fishers begins with current

and founding member Skip Hosfield.

Skip was a charter member of the McKenzie

Flyfishers, a group started in 1964 Eugene by Bill

Nelson. Nelson hoped that club members could

meet and enjoy their common interest of fly

fishing, but he was also seeking support for his

dream – the formation of a national fly fishing

organization.

Nelson ran an article in the Register Guard to

attract members and 8 people showed.

Subsequent articles stated that if you joined in

June or July, you would be a Charter Member.

Skip signed up.

Now that the club was formed, and called

McKenzie Flyfishers, Nelson proposed they help

organize a national organization. His goal was to

hold a conclave where other fly fishing groups

from around the United States would meet once a

year to meet one another, learn fly fishing skills,

and discuss conservation.

Late in 1964 and early 1965, FFF – Federation

of Flyfishers – was born. Over the years, Skip

recorded FFF’s early footsteps. FFF recently

change its name to Fly Fishers International and

is a well-established and internationally

recognized organization that serves fly fishers

around the world.

McKenzie Flyfishers continued to grow (with

members approaching 100) by 1985. That year

Skip had assumed the office of Senior Vice

President for Membership of Federation of

Flyfishers. Since one of their objectives was to

build new clubs, Skip proposed a “dry run” of

new club formation in Eugene, that could be

used as a framework for future clubs.

The early proposal was, Skip writes, “That the

new club would not be a men-only club or a

dinner-meeting club like the McKenzie Flyfishers.

We believed that the club should be affordable

for young people with growing families and there

should be an emphasis on family participation.

Such a club would make a special effort to

attract people who had never before tried fly

fishing.” Club membership would be open to

anyone interested in fly fishing and be affiliated

with the Federation of Fly Fishers.

Our club started under the wing of Eugene

Parks and Rec and drew potential members

through an ad in the outdoor column of the

Register Guard. Including Skip, ten people

attended. Those in attendance were given

information about fly fishing clubs, their

organizations and activities. They were also

shown a short slide show on the Federation of

Fly Fishers.

By mid-May of that year by-laws had been

drafted and Cascade Flyfishers was born. Marv

Clemons, current and Charter Member,

suggested adding the word “Family” to the name

and it was voted on and accepted. First officers

included Mike Shurtz, as President, Marv

Clemons as Vice-President, Thelma Clemons as

Treasurer, Sherm Carsten as Secretary, and

Skip as Membership Chair and interim

Newsletter Editor.

Over the next few years CFF struggled, as

young clubs do, when officers left, meeting

places changed, and new ideas were tried

(outings and winter fly tying sessions) and kept

or tried and thrown out (like 6:30 am. Board

meetings). By 1987, the club grew to nearly 60

members.

Today Cascade Family Fly Fishers has over

150 members and we owe Skip Hosfield deep

gratitude for our beginning.

When you see Skip and Donna, his wife of 65

years at the CFF summer picnic on Thursday,

August 22nd, let him know how appreciative you

are of his efforts on the club’s behalf. Wish him a

Happy Birthday as well – he’ll be turning 90!

In 1987, Skip, along with Keith Burkhart, was

also instrumental in organizing the first NW Fly

Tyer and Fly Fishing Expo in Albany that

continues to this day.

To learn more about Skip, retired architect,

service member, author, fly fisher, Master Fly

Tyer, and bamboo builder extraordinaire – pick

up one of his latest books – “Back Casts,

Memoirs of an Old Fly Fisherman” or “A Fly

Fishing Chrestomathy.”

My second fly rod was my first Fenwick, May

1969, a birthday surprise, which I purchased

from the River Road Bi Mart, the day after my

25th birthday---with the exact purchase price of

$40 that my then wife, Cheryl, had managed to

wonderfully sneakily “embezzle” from our mutual

checking account! $40, in 1969, which does not

seem like 50 years ago, or anything close to it.

Until late May, 1969, I had managed a fly

fishing life with one fly rod, a 7 foot nine inch

Shakespeare “Wonderod”, a gift from my father.

Although the Wonderod, an early fiberglass tool,

has not been on the water for years, I have

nearly ten years of Hosmer Lake ballistic Atlantic

salmon memories associated with this rod,

mated with a screaming 1494 ½ Pfleuger

Medalist.

Ahhh, the mid & late 1960’s on Oregon’s

Hosmer Lake! On Hosmer, in 1965, I never

caught a fish under 20 inches. Twenty to twenty-

six inches of reel screaming & catapult jumping

Gaspe Bay, Quebec sea run Atlantic salmon

progeny. 95% on dry flys!!

My first Fenwick, fiberglass with the “Ferralite”

ferrule was the FF-85, two-piece 8 ½ foot model,

rated for 7-8-9 lines. Confused about which line

weight might be best, I consulted Stan Walters,

visiting him on a sunny weekday at his “Oregon

Sportsman” newspaper (an educational

masterpiece) office on River Road. Stan

suggested the 9-weight line, which, as it turned

out, was a bit heavy. However, once fitted with a

Scientific Anglers DT 8 weight Wet Cel line, the

Fenwick became a formidable tool.

In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the larger

& shallower north end of Hosmer, near the Quinn

Creek inlet, was often loaded with fish, Atlantics

& Brook trout. A favorite fly was the Carrie

Stephens originated, Colonel Bates Streamer,

which was carrying the crude nickname, “Yellow

Mother”. Yellow, white & silver, splashed with a

bit of red.

My first Fenwick was a gentle cannon for

casting a size 2, 3x long Colonel Bates Streamer

---full dressed with a junglecock shoulder. A

beautiful fly dressing on its own, framed in the

jaws of those big Atlantic salmon and Brookies,

the fly became a work of art!

Incidentally, August 22, 2019, the day of our

Cascade Family Flyfishers annual picnic, is also

CFF club co-founder, Skip Hosfield’s 90th

birthday!

When you wish Skip a Happy Birthday,

consider asking him about fond memories he

might like to share---from the Hosmer Lake

heyday years of the 1960’s!

Westfir and Beyond

Randy Beard and Trese Slocum

The 2019 Small Streams Outing was a one day, close to home adventure, that 28 CFF members

took advantage of. Everyone met at Café 58, just as you roll into Oakridge heading east, for coffee

and breakfast. We packed the joint!! After some serious fishing stories, the group was gathered to

discuss the multiple streams to fish in the area. People broke into small groups with leaders. A

map was handed out with marked fishing locations.

Trese and I had so much fun scouting out the fishing loca-

tions and drawing the chalk rainbow trout, designating the

beginning of the access trail. Some access points were

easy to navigate, some were medium difficulty

and some were best left to the mountain goats,

and the more adventuresome fisherman. Along

with the map spots, every team leader had their

own favorite spots that they shared with their

groups. Most of the fish were caught with dry

flies, but several members were using nymphs. I

even caught a 16 inch rainbow on a mini stream-

er I tied just for this river.

T he weather was beautiful. We were fortunate

enough to have new members just learning to fly

fish, and were able to help them catch their first

fish on a dry fly.

The North Fork of the Middle Fork is a beautiful

small mountain river. It holds a lot of fish, although

most run between 4 and 9 inches long. There is still

the occasional fish up to 20 inches, if you are able to

outsmart them. The stream is better suited for

small, light rods, 3-4 weight and 6-8 feet long to nav-

igate the tight quarters for casting. Most members

came up for the day, fished until 1-2 PM, and head-

ed home. Some fished right through the evening,

and several camped for several days.

The Middle Fork is just one of the many streams to

fish in the area, all within 15 minutes of Oakridge.

There is Salt Creek, Salmon Creek, Hills Creek, as

well as the North Fork of the Willamette. The feed-

back I received was that everyone caught fish, and

had a good time. I look forward to hosting the event

again next year.

Cascade Lakes Outing

Timing is everything with fish pictures , Dave Jacklich

On August 9, 10 seven Cascade Family Flyfishers gathered at the Lava Lake Campground for the

Cascade Lakes outing. On day one we split onto two groups. Group one struggled through an unpro-

ductive day on Lava Lake, each landing one or two 10-13" trout. Group, two, Frank and Kat Paiva

and Alan Corbin, went to the Quinn Arm of Crane Prairie Reservoir and enjoyed outstanding fishing

for 19-24" Cranebows. Frank led the way with 14 whoppers and his arm was in a sling the next day.

After enduring an afternoon thunderstorm, we finished the day with a campfire at Dennis Munroe's

campsite.

Day two we awakened to a torrential downpour. Group one decided to take the day off while Group

two, Al Heide, Dennis Munroe, Jim Vandagrift, and Joe Moody decided to tackle the Crane Prairie

monsters. The bite was still on! Almost immediately we started hooking up and between rainstorms

everyone caught a few very large fish. Al led the way with 12 trophies and Jim, a Tenkara master

trying lake fishing for the first time, accredited himself nicely with six beauties.

This can be a very challenging lake and conditions were not the best, the club put on a good show

and all in all it was a very successful outing.

GOLD LAKE DERBY - September 7 & 8, 2019

Sponsors: Joe Moody - 541-510-2616 - [email protected]

Dennis Munroe - 541-729-9670 - [email protected]

This outing goes to a high Cascade Mountain lake a mile west of 5,126 foot Willamette Pass. Gold Lake is one half mile long and covers 100 acres. It has a maximum depth of 25 feet, but we will be fishing in less than 10 feet of water most the time. An intermediate or type 3 line works very well here but a dry line could prove to be a wise choice as well. This lake has a lot of structure, weed beds, fallen logs etc. The lake's shallow areas are very fertile and support a self-sustaining popula-tion of both brook trout and rainbows. Most brookies range from 9-12 inches but some up to 14" were landed in 2018. The larger rainbows are from 12-20". There are some hogs, ODFW has a pho-to of a rainbow caught and released here in 2017 that was 28" long and estimated at 10 pounds plus. ALL RAINBOWS MUST BE RELEASED!

Gold Lake is fly fishing only with barbless hooks. No motors are allowed on the lake. It is almost impossible to fish from shore, so a pontoon; float tube or drift boat is necessary. The north and east shores were most productive for us last summer. Gold Lake has large, shallow productive areas. It supports large populations of damsels, callibaetis mayflies, chironomids, scuds, water beetles and leeches. When we are there effective fly patterns will be Prince, pheasant tail, soft hackles, scuds and various leech patterns. Last summer dry fly an-glers were the most successful---- think purple haze!

ODFW estimates there are 15,000 rainbows and 30,000 brook trout in the lake. They feel the Brook trout are way over populated and stunted. Thus, they encourage anglers to keep as many as possible - no limit on brookies. To support ODFW in an effort to try to achieve a more balanced pop-ulation we are again sponsoring year two of the CFF GOLD LAKE DERBY. An annually rotating tro-phy and congratulatory back slaps will reward the winner. Last year's winner, Mike Marlatt, will be back to defend his title. There is also a prize for the largest brookie and largest rainbow. The compe-tition will run from 12:00 to three on Saturday September 7 and the winner will be the person who catches the most Brook trout. You are encouraged to keep the brookies you catch and we will end the day about 4:00 PM with a Bob Wolfe fish fry. No one has to participate in the derby--- if you pre-fer to release your fish that is just fine. Gold Lake is a serene lake in a beautiful setting so come and enjoy all it has to offer.

To get to Gold Lake take Highway 58 to Oakridge, continue past Oakridge on 58 for 23 miles. About two miles past the Waldo Lake turnoff and just past milepost 61, look for the Gold Lake sign. Turn left on Forest Road 500 ( Gold Lake Road) and go two miles into the lake. There is a nice campground there and a fairly large parking area by the boat ramp. There is a parking fee required. The Northwest Forest Pass and ( for those over 62) the America the Beautiful Pass are both hon-ored, the Golden Age Pass is not.

Dennis and Joe will be there a day early to stake out a campsite large enough for the group fish fry. We meet there at eleven on Saturday to discuss brook trout identification and derby rules. Come join the fun and companionship!

Metolious River Outing

Friday/Saturday, September 13-15, 2019

Trip Host: Mike Marlatt [email protected]

For those of you interested in fishing the picturesque Metolious river, we will be heading over on September 13th and stay until September 15th. You are welcome to come for a day or the whole weekend.

The host campground will be Smiling River but if cabins are your speed, there are various rentals nearby. This is a primarily wade/walk river with access being fairly easy. We plan to organize a potluck on Saturday night for anyone interested.

Suggested equipment: waders (unless you're into frigid wet wading), comfy wading shoes, wading staff, a 3-6wt rod and 9-12' leaders and fluorocarbon for nymphing. This is one of the best times of year to fish this river due to crazy hatches. The fish can be finicky as always. If interested please contact Mike Marlatt at [email protected]

Mike will host two gatherings at Smiling River Campground for those interested.

Friday evening: come by for a Q&A with Mike on fishing the Metolious and enjoy conversation around the campfire.

Saturday evening: Pot Luck at 5:00 P.M…just bring what you have to share.

Why so early? There is often a great hatch in the evening this time of year. We’ll eat early and get out for that hatch and fish until dusk!

ber’s free of charge classified section), but this does not give any proprietary rights to the company. Should a
