Public Lands and Our Upcoming Election
It All Happened At The Fair
I hope that many of you were
able to attend our 10th Annual
Fly Fishing Fair this past April. I
thought it was an outstanding
event. The Board has already begun planning the 11th Washington
Fly Fishing Fair on May 5th and
6th in Ellensburg. I look forward to
seeing you there!
I want to thank all the volunteers
who help make this year’s event
a success. This includes all of the
Certified Casting Instructors who
provided the casting demonstrations and workshops, the seminar
presenters, the fly tiers, and those
who help with the event, whether
running the casting games, working the registration desk, helping with the auction and raffle or
elsewhere. We could not do this
event without you. THANK YOU!
The Fair sponsors Wasatch Custom Tools, Frank Amato Publications and Worley-Bugger Fly
Co., deserve special thanks and
I would like to encourage them to
sponsor the 11th Annual Fly Fish-
ing Fair. I also encourage Council
members to thank our sponsors.
On Friday night we held our Awards
and Auction after a wonderful dinner by Cascade Grilling. The following awards were presented this
year. Presidents Pin went to Jack
Whitney. The Spokane Fly Fishers received the Education Award
for their work teaching fly fishing.
The Fly Tying Hall of Fame Award
was given to Vern Jeremica. The
Jimmy Green Fly Casting Instructor
Award was given to Aaron Reimer.
The Council Federator of the Year
went to David Paul Williams. I also
announced the Council’s nominee
for the Council Award of Excellence
to be given at the International Fly
Fishing Fair in Livingston this August. This year Chet and JoAnn Allison were nominated. Congratulations to everyone. After the awards
we held our live auction which went
very well.
On Saturday afternoon, we held our
annual meeting and conducted the
business of the Council, including
nominating the slate of Board candidates for positions that expire this July.
This year’s slate is: Len Zickler-VP East
(2017), Don Simonson-VP West, JoAnn
Allison-Treasurer (2018), John NewburyVP Education, Chet Allison - Director
(2018), Mike Clancy-Director, Pat Peterman - Director, Vern Jeremica - Director,
and Bill Wheeler - Director. We have
two Board members who are leaving the
Board this year, Dick Lange and Abe Lillard. I want to thank them for their work
on the Board these many past years and
hope we get to see them at next year’s
Fair.
Now that the 2016 Fair is in the books
it is time to do a little fishing. For me,
Maura and I will be heading north to
Alaska in mid-June and returning in late
September. I hope the rest of you will
be spending the summer fishing and
come to Livingston in August to attend
the International Fly Fishing Fair. Tight
lines-Carl Johnson, Council President
The IFFF Conservation Committee
is made up of all the chapters’
Conservation VPs. Every two
months except during the fly
fishing fair month, we have a
teleconference conservation
meeting which lasts about an hour.
Our meeting in March was pretty
much typical-a real yawner. That
is until the meeting concluded and
someone brought up the assault on
public lands by our elected officials.
Then the passion came
out. The discussion was
going hot and heavy
15 minutes later when
I signed off to go eat
dinner.
Except for Canada,
I can’t think of any
country in the world
that has the amount
of public lands that
we do. As citizens of
this country we can
easily access millions
of acres for recreation
at very little expense.
We use this land for
fishing, hunting, hiking,
backpacking, ATV
traveling, sightseeing,
photography, star
gazing, and solitude.
Much of it is stunning
scenery. For me and many others
the availability of public land is
one of the things that makes this
country great.
There are members of congress
who want to turn over public lands
to the states saying that the Federal
government hasn’t the money to
take care of them. They have also
talked about selling public lands to
reduce the federal debt. The truth
is the states have less money to
care for these land than the Federal mentioning public lands. One
government. The states would sell candidate was for protecting public
the land to private companies. You lands and the other was for selling
can bet if these lands get in the
them. Fortunately, the candidate

now out of the race. Although most
of this has happened in southwest of the issues being discussed will

they closed it off to the public except I don’t hear many people talking
about it. Outside of the Bundy
stand-off there doesn’t appear much
understanding by the public to this
threat.
It appears Congress has been
where the big push to sell public
lands most threatens us. It has
attempted to attach riders to
various budget and military bills
in an effort to get this past the
President. I have to wonder who
they are really serving when they
quietly sneak these riders in and not
bring the whole subject up for their
constituents to discuss.
Between now and November, I
would encourage you to drill those
that want to serve us on the national
level to explain their view on selling
public land. When we don’t get the
answer we want, then we should
start screaming about it. There are
many public mediums where we can

Introduction To Fly Fishing Educational Experience
On May 2nd and 3rd, members of the Washington State Council of the International Federation of Fly Fishers,
the Inland Empire Fly Fishers Club, the Spokane Fly Fishers, Veterans of Project Healing Waters, and an
entomologist from the DNR office in Colville, shared their passion for fly fishing with the students of Jenkins
High School in Chewelah, WA. The students were given an introduction to aquatic entomology, fly tying, and
casting a fly rod over the two day event. All in all, 385 students were introduced to fly fishing through the
event. The students were attentive, well behaved, polite, and thankful…..with many of the students coming
up after the classes to the volunteer instructors telling them thank-you and shaking their hands. Some of the
students were “born naturals” when it came to tying a fly and casting, and hopefully they will someday have the
same passion for the lifetime recreational activity that the volunteer instructors whom shared with them have.
I have already received several calls from parents wishing to know where and what to buy equipment for their
children, so that they can get started fly fishing. I have also been asked to come back the last week of classes
this school year to teach a full day of fly tying to 25-30 students whom wish to do more tying……so, the fly
fishing educational experience was a huge success!!! Your Washington Council has aspirations of conducting
2-4 of these introduction to fly fishing educational experiences each year in the immediate future on both sides
of the state, thus ensuring new fly fishers for generations to come and creating stewards of our beloved public
waters.
John M. Newbury VP-Education
Transcription of handwritten thank you note from Shawn Anderson, Principal of Jenkins Jr./Sr. High School,
Chewelah Washington
Dear Mr. John Newbury,
On behalf of Jenkins Jr./Sr. High School students and staff, I would like to give my sincere thank
you to the IFFF volunteer staff. Their contribution to our students both in the classroom and on the field was
spectacular. It was a great event for our students.
We may never know the impact that the two days has had on a future fisherman but we do know
that we sparked a small fire in the hearts and minds of some amazing kids.
Thank you, John, for your planning and implementation; it could not have happened without you!
See you on the street or lake. You are a fishing champion.

John lives in Chewelah Washington, located
in the northeastern corner of the state. He
has been fishing the area’s waters since he
was a kid. John has tied flies the past 38
years to fish the numerous still waters of the
area and the upper reaches of the mighty
Columbia River, which he refers to as his
“home waters.” In 2012, the Washington State
Council Federation of Fly fishers awarded
John its Conservation Award for his efforts to
protect the wild spawning redband rainbow
of the upper Columbia River. He has also
spent considerable time fishing the waters
of nearby British Columbia, Canada for trout
and steelhead. Many, many of his still water
patterns and steel head flies have been
published in books and magazines by several
different authors over the years. In 2007, John
was the inaugural inductee into the F.F.F. Washington State Fly tying Hall of Fame. In 2008, the Federation of
Fly Fishers recognized John’s many contributions to the organization, honoring him with the Lew Jewett Award.
Then in 2009, he was presented the prestigious Buz Buszek Memorial Award, the highest honor a fly tier can
receive, for his significant contributions to the art of fly tying. It is now his dream to share his passion for fly
fishing and tying with as many junior high and high school students as possible to ensure a new generation of
stewards to protect our waters and to continue sharing fly fishing with others.
MIKE CLANCY
I retired in 2000 and decided to take up fly fishing having fished since I was a little guy of 7-8 years old.
I went to the 2000 Puyallup Sportsman Show, expecting to learn about fly fishing organizations, where I
overheard Bob Shirley, Larry Gibbs and Arnie Gidlow talking about the Puget Sound Fly Fishers in Tacoma.
Well, the rest is history. I have absolutely enjoyed our sport and relationships made from that day on. Bob
was the President of PSFF at the time and he
didn’t waste anytime getting me involved in the
club. He was also President of the WSCIFFF
in 2003 when he invited me to join the Board
on the Council. Over the years I have been
Secretary, Vice President (West) and presently
the Government Affairs Chairman which I
really enjoy. I am Co-Director of the NW Youth
Conservation and Fly Fishing Academy, a youth
education project of WCTU and made possible
with the help and support of WSCIFFF.

VERN JEREMICA
In 1962 I saw then famous fly casting great, Jim Green, fishing for shad below Nimbus Dam on the American
River outside of Rancho Cordova, California. I was captured before I owned a fly rod. By the end of the
summer I had caught my first trout on a fly I had tied myself. I have been fly fishing and fly tying ever since.
In 1978, a fly fishing and tying mentor, Dr. Stan Inoyue, long time member of a Sacramento fly club,
California Fly Fisherman Unlimited, encouraged me to improve my fly tying. He was such positive influence,
and model of a true sportsman, that from that point on, my interest in fly tying grew like wild fire.
In the 70’s through the 90’s, I was primarily a steelhead junkie. Now I primarily fish for trout. I moved to
Bend, Oregon a few years ago and now enjoy all the great fishing in central Oregon. In addition to being a
current member of the Washington Council board, I’m also a member past newsletter editor and president
of the Northwest Atlantic Salmon Fly Guild. It is all about giving and sharing! Be a mentor, encourage others,
and you will be blessed.

BILL WHEELER
Bill is currently on the
WSCIFFF Board as a
Director. He has been fly
fishing about 10 years when
he moved to Washington
State and landed up on Lake
Alice. At first he thought
his eyesight was going
bad because he couldn’t
see his fly when he cast. It
turned out that his eyesight
was fine, his casting was
bad. So he started on a
journey to become a better
caster resulting in becoming
an IFFF Master Certified
Casting Instructor (MCI). He
has had the opportunity to
teach casting at the IFFF Fly
Fishing Fair as well as the
Ellensburg Fly Fishing Fair
and various club and private venues. Bill is Past President of the Overlake Fly Fishing Club, edited the club
newsletter and is currently VP Education for the club. Currently he can better see his fly, he just wishes that
more fish would see it.

AFTER THE FAIR WE GO FISHING
A Missouri River Fishing Report
Five of us, Bill Fox, Allen Hess, Bill Winegar, Mike Clancy and yours truly, headed for the Missouri River
between Craig and Cascade in Montana. It is a long way to Arnie Gidlow’s Missouri Riverside Outfitters &
Lodge, like 650 miles and a lot of it not freeway. The usual travel time is about 14 hours from my place and with
Mike coming up from the Lacey doing a one day drive to the lodge would have put us way into the night for our
arrival, then to have to unpack and get our gear together for the next day would have meant we would all be
dog-tired on our first day of fishing. So, we left our area around noon, made a short stop at the Worley-Bugger
Fly Co. shop in Ellensburg, then kept going to a motel in the Spokane area to spend the night.
The next morning we had breakfast and then headed east again towards the Missouri. We stopped in St.
Regis, so Al could get his Montana fishing license. We also swung by the still being built Clark Fork Trout fly
shop. Steve Temple was busily working on his place, hoping to get a roof on the building within a few days. He
should have that up and running sometime in June.
We arrived at Arnie’s lodge and unloaded all of our ‘stuff’. We had to go in search of a missing bag that really
was not missing, but things like that happen and that gives us good ammo for stories to be told in the future.
Prior to us leaving, I had been checking on the river levels of the Missouri River as well as the Dearborn River.
The Missouri River, in that area, is controlled by the Holter Dam and they had been releasing a decent amount
of water, keeping the flow at a fairly constant rate, which is perfect for fishing. The Dearborn is a free running
river, but if it rains hard or has a lot of snow runoff, it can really muddy up the Missouri, which simply means we
would fish above the confluence of those two rivers. The river had been holding at around 5,550 cfs, but all of
a sudden it jumped it up to 6,525 the day we left and then on the day we were to start fishing it kicked it up to
6,800 and for our second day of fishing it increased it to a very fast flowing 7,200 cfs.
The water was slightly murky from the dam dump with lots of floating debris. There was just a little color
coming off the Dearborn but not bad enough to stop us from fishing the upper canyon area. We were between
hatches (they call it a ‘tweener time’) so the fish were not real active on surface activity since there was very
little of that. It was the end of the BWO’s, and March Browns with very few of them out and about. A pseudo
mayfly hatch was coming off the water, very small, about the size of a Trico, but grayish brown in color. On the
second day we saw a handful of size 16 Caddis on the water, and that was it.
The first day we put in at Craig and drifted down to the Dearborn takeout. I was fishing with Arnie that day and
he had me start off with a San Juan Worm and a very small mayfly nymph pattern, but after a couple hookups
and fish to the boat, both on the small nymph, he removed the SJW and I fished two different Mayfly nymph
styles for most of the rest of the day. It really didn’t matter which ones we used, they were eating almost any
style. I caught nine fish that day, most were rainbows and most in the 16 to 18 inch range. All were fantastic
fighters. There were several fish that never made it to the boat but gave me lots of fun. The water temperature
was 50 degrees and the fish were very spunky, jumping like crazy multiple times. I even had one almost jump
into the boat but he bounced off the gunwale and back into the water. Great fishing. My morning fishing saw
most of my action. Along with the ones that I got to the boat, there were a number that came off prior to that.
My afternoon fishing slowed down a lot for some reason. The other two boats were just the opposite. Their
mornings were very slow but it picked up in the afternoon. It was a good day considering the water conditions.
I did try some dry flying but with only a single fish and a few missed hits.
We had a great dinner that night. Crab stuffed chicken breasts, honey glazed carrots, and fettuccini (white
sauce and basil). Then for dessert we had a brownie covered in warm chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream.
Yeah, we live it real rough on these trips. Arnie treats us very well.
2016 Washington State Council Awards
The next day we drifted from Dearborn to Prewett Creek. The river had come up a lot during the night.
I fished with Arnie and we started off nymphing which produced some fish, all on the small mayfly-style
nymphs. The fishing was a lot harder, with fewer hits and lots of junk in the water from the increased flows.
We started seeing some rises close to shore in a few areas so Arnie had me switch to a dry fly rig. At first it
was a Parachute Adams along with a very small Pheasant Tail as a dropper. The first fish to hit was on the
Adams. After a few more near misses, we switched to two dries and fished those the rest of the day. Both
the Parachute Adams and Caddis dries worked. I got eight fish to the boat that day with many more missed
and some break offs. The browns were hungry, but you had to cast to within 3 inches of the shore in that fast
flowing water. That can be a difficult target on the best of days for many of us who are not casting experts,
but there was one more factor that sort of contributed to the casting and fishing experience. A four letter word
known as WIND. Oh yes, it was very windy all day, and the wind switched around and swirled when it wanted
to, with a fairly steady wind of 10 to 15 MPH plus those ever so friendly gusts of 25 MPH+. But, if you got your
fly into that very narrow zone of 3 inches from the shore in amongst the brush, tree limbs, high grasses and
such, there was a good chance of catching a decent brown. My biggest was a measured 21 incher, fat and
sassy, and the next largest was a measured 20 incher, just a little more slender.
We were all very tired after that day of fishing. Fighting the wind was wearing on all of us. Arnie invited us all
up to his house for a grilled steak dinner out on his patio, which overlooks the whole valley, great view! Then
we retired to the lodge and started packing up all our gear preparing to store it all away in the rigs for our trip
home the next morning. It was a good trip and considering the increased water levels, we did real well and had
a great time. By Larry Gibbs

Northwest Youth Academy
2016 Northwest Youth Conservation and Fly
Fishing Academy is set and ready to go. We have
18 boys and 2 girls. All their essays and letters of
recommendation are in and it appears we have
another great group of kids. The Academy is June
19-25 on Hicks Lake at The Gwinwood Community
Center in Lacey. We have a fantastic instructor
lineup with IFFF, CCI casting instructors, fly tying
professionals and conservation experts. Last year we
had over 50 volunteers. The 2016 Academy would
not take place if it was not for the generous support
from the Fly Fishing Clubs, TU Chapters, corporate
and private donors.
The kids will be fishing at new ponds in Graham, and
the Deschutes River in Thurston County. Everyone
is welcome to visit us during the week to learn what
is happening (please call 1st to make sure we are
available). If you are available for guiding, we could
use your help, especially in the evenings on the
river. If you want to help - please contact Jim Brosio
@ 360-481-5184. Seriously folks, we could really
use your help with the guiding in the evening on
the river. It’s really not guiding, it’s being there to
make sure the kids are safe, but you could share
your experience on fishing a river with them. We will
provide the transportation to the sites. Mike Clancy,
Co-Director, NWYCFFAcademy, 253-278-0061
