FLY FISHERS OF DAVIS PAGE 1 JANUARY 2013

January Meeting, Tuesday January 29th, 7:30pm @ Harper Jr. High School The Fly Fishers of Davis Presents:

“Fly Fishing the Upper Water Column for Large and Smallmouth Bass”

Happy New Year, Fly Fishers! This month Trent Pridemore will highlight fishing techniques in the top ten feet of the water column using a floating line, hair bugs, poppers and sliders for shoreline orienting bass. For fish that can’t be seduced with top water lures, he goes into simple, effective flies that can be fished with a floating or intermediate line in the same zone to optimize fish interest. He will cover bass physiology and the annual pre-spawn, spawn, post-spawn moods with an emphasis on how this relates to finding bass that can be reached with a fly rod. He’ll also discuss water temperatures, sunlight or lack thereof, water clarity and above all stealth relative to bass aggressiveness and The Strike Zone. Trent will show how to assemble the optimal bass bugging combination of rod, reel, line and leader and how to

tune a rig. He will emphasize casting skills, nuances in fly presentation and retrieves that affect success. Fly choice will be related to aquatic and terrestrial bass forage species. An important part will be a look at structure during high and low water levels and how an angler can use that knowledge. He’ll take a look at Bugging for Browns in Chilean Patagonia where Brown trout behave like Largemouth bass. A retired dentist, Trent will demonstrate the tying of his modified Calcasieu Pig Boat with a dental rubber dam pork rind trailer which becomes a flyrodder’s castable stealthy spinner bait.

Trent resides in Grass Valley and Carnelian Bay, California. His family emigrated from Fairbanks, Alaska in l946 and settled in the Bay Area. He received a degree in Field Zoology from UCSB and worked as a timber cruiser in Humboldt and Trinity Counties. His zoological background stimulated an earlier interest in fly fishing that led him to involvement in angling conservation. He was instrumental in restoration projects that ultimately led to what has become the Wild Trout Program. In 2006 he orchestrated the Regulation Proposal Changes that resulted in Wild Trout status for the Truckee River and its tributaries between Trout Creek and the Nevada State Line. He is the second recipient of the “Black Hand” conservation award.

Trent also writes for California Fly Fisher, Sierra Heritage Magazine, Tahoe Maritime Museum and makes guest appearances on radio and television. He has taught classes on fly tying, fly casting, and angler’s entomology. Major interests are Stillwater angling for trout and bass.

In Memoriam – Bill Carnazzo

The Fly fishing community has suffered a great loss. On Tuesday, January 15, Bill Carnazzo passed away after a suffering a massive stroke. Bill touched us in many different ways. Some of us were fortunate to be guided by Bill and experience his passion personally. Some of us read his many articles in the California Fly Fisher and we also spent many hours talking about fishing at the shop. With nearly 50 years of experience, Bill was the go to guide for backcountry deep-canyon, hike-in fishing in the wilderness areas surrounding the community of Foresthill, including the upper Middle Fork American River drainage (which

includes the upper Middle Fork itself, the Rubicon River, Long Canyon Creek, Wallace Creek, Duncan Creek, Deep Canyon Creek, and other backcountry streams), the North Fork American River and its numerous back country tributaries, and the North Yuba River. Bill was also a master fly tyer and some of his creations are available at fly shops around the area. Many of us ran into Bill through the years at the Expos where he participated in fly tying demonstrations. This year some of the club members that went to the ISC show were fortunate to talk to Bill one last time. Bill Carnazzo was born February 17, 1941 in Pacific Grove CA. He grew up around fishing. He helped his grandfather who was a commercial fisherman around Monterey Bay. Bill later went on to have a successful career as an attorney for the City of Sacramento. He retired in 2004 and was very well respected by his piers. Bill is survived by his wife Judy, two sons Anthony and Dominic, and daughter Regina. Bill also is survived by six grandchildren, and his brother and two sisters. When you crossed paths with Bill, you were always greeted with an extended hand and a smile. RIP Bill Carnazzo, it was a pleasure to call you friend.

Roger Miller

Roger Miller was club president twice for the Fly Fishers for Conservation in Fresno. He was a past president of the Northern California Council Federation of Fly Fishers and was on their board of directors for many years, as well. He and his wife, Sandy, volunteered at many national federation conclaves. I got to know Roger during my time with the NCCFFF, and I

was fortunate to take a trip to Washington, DC with him last April for Trout Unlimited. It was his first trip to DC and we had a day of sightseeing together that we both truly enjoyed. Roger was diagnosed with lung cancer last June and passed away just before the New Year. Roger was a thoughtful person. Although he and I were registered in different political parties, I found him to be a concerned conservationist who would argue strongly for the environment and fisheries. I enjoyed knowing him – Rest in Peace, Roger. Lowell Ashbaugh

2012 Budget Summary For those of you curious about your club finances, here is a summary of the club’s income and expenses for 2012. The club’s major source of income is the Annual Dinner, coming up this year on March 9. The income from the dinner allows the club to function throughout the year, so be sure to come and support it! Fundraising outings comprise the next largest fraction of income, with the membership dues and raffle income close behind. The largest expense for the club is also the Annual Dinner. Expenses are reduced by donations, so if you have anything lying around the house that would be suitable (it doesn’t have to be fishing-related) speak to any board member about donating it. Our speaker fees are the next largest expense. Other significant expenses are on the graph below – the legend starts at the top right and runs clockwise around the pie in both plots.

CONSERVATION UPDATE By Lowell Ashbaugh

Conservation Mailing List Want to keep up on conservation issues in between newsletters? Join the FFD Conservation email list at http://www2.dcn.org/mailman/listinfo/ffd-conservation. "Over Troubled Waters": Selected as Finalist in 11th Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival “Over Troubled Waters”, a documentary about the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, was selected as a finalist in the 2013 11th Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival held January 11 - 13 in Nevada City, California. "We are pleased and honored to have been selected for the Wild & Scenic Festival, dedicated to premiere environmental films," said Ms. Barrigan-Parrilla, "The increased exposure from the Film Festival will help in the fight for levee protections, common sense planning, and improved water quality and quantity for the Delta." Wild & Scenic Film Festival is considered one of the nation's premiere environmental and adventure film festival's, this year's films combine stellar filmmaking, beautiful cinematography and first-rate storytelling to inform, inspire and ignite solutions and possibilities to restore the earth and human communities while creating a positive future for the next generation.

Western Delta Intakes Concept Robert Pyke, a consulting engineer, has proposed a new concept for a sustainable solution that would maintain Delta water quality, restore natural Delta flows, naturally operate to take more water for storage in wet years and reduce exports in dry years, simple to design and construct, and would not intrude on the character of the Delta. The Western Delta Intakes Concept (WDIC) would comprise six major elements (see the map at the lower left to see how it all goes together): 1. It would restore floodplains on the Sacramento

and San Joaquin Rivers. 2. Locate new intake facilities in the western Delta;

one option is to modify Sherman Island to restore the western part and deepen the eastern part to store fresh water.

3. Construct a pumping station to move water from Sherman Island to new forebays for the existing South Pumps and new storage facilities near Clifton Forebay.

4. During high flows, operate the South Delta pumps for export and operate the new intakes to store water in Brushy Creek and Los Vaqueros reservoirs.

5. Construct additional south-of-Delta storage to store surplus water in wet years.

6. Construct a lined canal to allow fresh water to be recirculated into the San Joaquin River as needed.

The environmental benefits would include restoration of a more natural flow regime in the Delta, creation of new tidal and sub-tidal habitat at Sherman Island, completion of the Lower San Joaquin Bypass, restoration of Franks Tract, and funding of a biological and water quality monitoring system throughout the Delta. Compared to the twin tunnels proposed in the Bay-Delta Conservation Plan, the WDIC better protects the Delta, provides a more sustainable export water supply, restores a more natural flow while taking little or no water during low flow periods, is self regulating, is simple to design and construct, and contributes to improved transportation.

Lake Amador Feb 9th, 2013 Mark your calendar for February 9 for the mid-winter Fly Fishers of Davis outing with fishmeister Cary Boyden. This is a yearly trip and get together event for our club. Lake Amador is managed by the Jackson Valley Irrigation District. The lake is about 400 acres in size and is located near the town of Ione. A fish hatchery is located just below the dam and provides stock of “cutbows” which I understand are the result of crossbreeding Fall River rainbows and Alaskan cutthroat. The fish hatchery plants 500 pounds of trout daily. Bring:

• Rods 9 feet five or six weight. • Floating lines or a slow sinking line.

In winter the fish often hold in the top five feet of water. Flies that I often use are trolled or stripped Wooly Buggers as well as nymphs under indicators,

• size 12 hare’s ears work well at times as they resemble trout food pellets • size 12 pheasant tail nymphs under indicators are also a good choice • size 10 Wooly Buggers in Gold, Orange or Olive work in clear water, and • if the water is murky, use Black or Purple.

Largemouth Bass and Crappie are also in this lake, but the fishing for them is much better in the spring and fall months. No water skiing or jet skis are allowed but powerboats are. Also float tubes, pontoon boats, and canoes work well. This is a put and take lake, and fees are charged. This is one place where you can take a limit of nice fish home. A nice fish cleaning station is at the top of the launch area.

FFD Fly Fishing 101 and 201 Classes. Starting in Jan 2013

Have you ever wondered why you didn’t catch as many fish as the other people around you on the river? Or why you couldn’t find that fly that imitated the real bug coming off the water. We’ll maybe now you can be the one that catches all the fish on the next outing. If you can’t answer these four questions maybe you should sign up for Fly Fishing 101 and 201. 1. What percent do trout feed on the surface? 2. Do you know how to tie the three basic knots?

a. Perfection loop b. Clinch knot c. Double surgeon knot

3. Do you know the five basic needs for trout survival?

4. Do you know the difference and when to fish what stage between a nymph, emerger, dun and spinner in the life cycle of Mayflies?

If these questions stump you maybe you need to spend some time at Fly Fishers of Davis Fly 101 and 201 classes. Signups will be available at the next meeting. Thanks Dana Hooper Fly 101 & 201 Schedule

Ice Fishing in California!? Yes there is. Donn Erickson and fellow FFDer John Murphy, along with 2 other brave souls, went up to Red Lake off Highway 88 on Jan 15. It was just a 50 yard walk from the parking lot to the fishin’ hole. Temp registered at 17, but it was a sunny day, and soon we were taking off clothes. We drilled some holes in the 2' thick ice with our auger and soon were enticing cutthroats with our mealworms and nightcrawlers (no fly fishing here), just off the bottom in 8-14 feet of water. The 4 of us fished from about 10 am - 2 pm and got 25 fish--most 10 - 12 inches but one at 18! Also enjoyed a couple of beers and some good stories, and home by 5pm, after a tour of Fiddletown. A nice was to spend a day; plan for a good weather day if you are going to give it a try.

Beautiful Day for fishing at Red Lake Yes, there are fish in there!

Pay to Play By Cary Boyden

The annual Amador trip is set for the 9th of February. As usual we will meet at 9 for a greasy breakfast at the Tackle Box Cafe. The fees to fish vary depending on whether you are launching a boat or not. The lake is slightly more than an hour from Davis just past Ione. Last year was the first with a date later than early December and the fishing was better than in the prior few years with the fish averaging around 18". While buggers trolled seemed to work reasonably, the best bite was along the shore under indicators with Midges and Red Copper Johns. This trip has unlimited spots, and the signup will still be out at the meeting. Either a boat or other floating object is pretty much mandatory. Further details will be sent to those signed up after the meeting.

Book of the Month By Jim Luschwitz

“Floating Alaska” By Don Crane

Some fishing books are anecdotal by nature, presenting story after story about the value of a particular fishing destination. Other books, like Crane's, make the intelligent assumption that the reader already wants to go there, and then proceed to give exactly the information needed to do just that. Crane includes the kind of critical detail needed in adventure resource material. The kind of material you can expect includes: information on the advantages of renting or buying specific pieces of equipment; how to book a float plane; what time of day to book a plane and make connecting flights; what to expect from pilots; how much weight to take along; what type of river gravel to pitch a tent on; what kind of maps to take along with what scales; what types of modern electronics to include such as a GPS device; what areas are likely to provide the best adventures; what kinds of costs to expect with sample itineraries; and a very useful appendix of phone

numbers, addresses and web sites to help fill in all the other details needed. In short, an entire picture of a typical trip is

presented, right down to how to select the right companions so that the all-too-common oddball doesn't show up, the one who sours the trip by refusing to wash dishes, unable to build fires smaller than a funeral pyre and manages to maneuver the raft into a tree. Ostensibly the book is about planning a self-guided float trip, but the type of advice it presents is invaluable for any trip to Alaska. Trips of this magnitude require painstaking research, phone numbers, the right web sites, and a host of other decisions--and all this is laid before you in a book that travels easily in the smallest luggage. The only thing left to do, it would

seem, is to add water and you're off to create long memories.
