The outing calendar says June 19-20 but the main event is Saturday and we\nwill be having a gathering afterward to eat. Either we will go to an establishment in Packwood or have a picnic at La Wis Wis campground. Most I suspect will be staying Saturday night not Friday night.\nCamping at the lake is first come first serve and tight. Don’t count on it. The La Wis Wis Campground may have some first come first serve tent sites available.\nThis is a fly fishing only lake so no sinkers on the line. You can use sink tips or weighed flies. The lake is generally shallow so you don’t need a fast sinking fly line.\nThere is a 10 dollar launch fee. This is managed by the ski area and not by the forest service or WDFW so those passes don’t work. Bring a pen.\nNo Motors of Any Kind. Including electric motors. It is generally a small lake and can be rowed.\nBe sure to bring some insect repellent\, the mosquito hatch is unpredictable but remarkable.\nWe will be working on ride sharing and boat space sharing at the monthly meeting.

If you didn’t think you could come\, and your plans change and on Saturday you’re available? COME ANYWAY. \nTraining: 10 am – 12pm. Wayne Dixon will again present Entomology. Several students missed this on March 2.

DESCRIPTION:Based on some early scouting reports on the Toutle River\, we have decided to go after SeaRun Cutthroat in the Sound out of Burfoot Park. High tide on Saturday should be close to 8 AM and Low tide close to 2:40 PM. Check back for further details\, but the leaders will get there between 8:30 and 9 AM. Hot soup will be available to share. We will probably meet up afterwards at the Boston Harbor Marina cafe to share a hot beverage and tales of the day.\nThis outing will require grit and determination most of us haven’t accessed in decades. But with enough layers\, hot breakfast\nand steady egos we will enjoy ourselves. The camaraderie and nature is what we’re all really here for.

We will have shelter from the rain\, breakfast burritos\, and hot coffee for everyone. If you have a water craft of any non-motorized sort bring it along. Everything from inner tubes to drift boats will work just fine. \nParking at Munn is pretty limited. If carpooling is an option I recommend it.

Along the Wynoochee we located several excellent spots where parking and river access was easy and available. As the Wynoochee is tidally affected we do get to sleep in a little this Saturday. Low tide is 9:38. The best time to start working the river is as the tide comes in. So I will be posted up at 9:30 to meet and greet everyone as you all arrive. From there we can start fishing and moving to the other scouted bank locations if need be.\nWhen: Meet at 10:00\nWhere: Twin Bridges County Park at 29 County Farm Rd\, Montesano\, WA 98563\nWhat: We will be walk and wading\, fishing on the incoming tide for Coho Salmon. There is really good bank access at the county park with knee high slow-moving water and deeper holes using a 25 to 30 ft cast. We will go out to lunch afterwards. \nSpecial note: You need a salmon and steelhead catch card if you plan on retaining any fish \nRod: 7 or 8 wt\nLine: Floating\, intermediate\, or sink tip depending on technique\nRecommended fly patterns:\nBeads or egg patterns\nEgg-Sucking Leeches: These are classic and highly effective for coho. Variations tied with marabou or rabbit strip in black and purple\, with a pink or orange head\, are a top choice.\nBunny Leeches: Similar to the Egg-Sucking Leech\, these have an enticing\, pulsating action. Bright colors like cerise and purple are favorites.\nClouser Minnows: A versatile baitfish pattern. Pink/white\, chartreuse/white\, and chartreuse/pink are the most effective color combinations for coho.\nDolly Llama: This articulated streamer is popular in a pink/purple color scheme.\nContact our Outings Chair Jesse for any questions: 253-432-0659 \nAdditional info:\nMultiple species were seen coming in last week. Everyone I talked to was hauling them in on egg patterns. I suggest the fluorescent\, neon\, sometimes referred to as cheating pattern flies. The brighter and more alien looking the better. Glo bugs\, blood dots\, meth eggs\, slush eggs\, the more industriall and toxic looking the better. These fish are all hopped up on the spawn\, in stressed water and eating to attack as much as they are to feed. That all being said\, the usual patterns can still be applied. Anything bright and flashy should be just fine. The chartreuse\, pink\, jointed and articulated monstrosities your non fishing friends are sure of is a sign of decline. Due to their absolute lack of representing anything in nature. Those flies are the ones you want to bring. \nLow tide is at 3:00 pm and the fishing is going to slack out way before that. So it will be up to the river and fish to decide when we’re done. If everybody is up for it\, I suggest that when we’re finished descending upon the great Wynoochee salmon run. We meet at the nearby ShipWreck cafe. I’ve had several meals there in the last few weeks. It’s a great place to get warm and lie to the waitresses about all the fish you caught. They’ve gotten the hang of smiling and nodding in agreement that my scraped knuckles\, bruised forehead and muddy state of near hypothermia is from some great adventure. And not slipping in the parking lot and splashing hot coffee down my face and waders. \nEasiest way to find Twin Bridges Park is using whichever map app you like the best. Plug in Twin Bridges Park\, Montesano and it will come right up. I will be in the main parking lot. I drive an older silver Tundra. It has four doors\, a beat up topper and is covered in ‘look at me\, I fly fish’ stickers. If you don’t see it right away just look for the white SSFF cheese board signs and follow the arrows. I’ll have them posted at the main road\, parking lot entrance and one last one by the meeting area. If anyone has any extra stickers laying around I’ll take them. I love stickers. \nCan’t wait to see you all tomorrow\, I’ll be sending out a text this afternoon to everyone who signed up so be looking out for that. Its just a final check in before tomorrow. \nJesse URL:https://southsoundflyfishers.org/event/monthly-outing-tbd-possibly-kennedy-creek/ LOCATION:Twin Bridges County Park\, 29 County Farm Rd\, Montessano\, WA\, 98563\, United States CATEGORIES:Club Fishing Outing ORGANIZER;CN="Jesse Bakke":MAILTO:JeBakke22@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251018T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251018T170000 DTSTAMP:20251019T223506Z CREATED:20250312T185252Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251019T223506Z UID:4202-1760774400-1760806800@southsoundflyfishers.org SUMMARY:Pop up Outing (Wynoochee and Satsop Rivers) DESCRIPTION:There will be a pop-up outing to walk and wade the Wynoochee and Satsop Rivers. We will be swinging flies for coho salmon. 7 or 8 wt rod is recommended with intermediate or sink tip line and your favorite streamers. Both river levels are pretty low with good bank access. \nJesse and I will be meeting at Shipwreck Cafe for breakfast at 8:30 and then carpool as needed to the rivers. We plan to be done by 1:00 and have plenty of room for others to ride along. We also have extra rods if you don’t have a salmon rod.

The usual flies will work\, such as buggers\, leeches\, nymphs or a fly that floats well. Some days nothing works. You ought to bring both floating and deep sinking lines. \nDriving Directions: Access off I-5 via SR 504\, Exit No.49; go east on\nthe well maintained state road.\nColdwater Lake is 45 miles from I-5. You will pass Seaquest State Park\nat 5.2 miles\, Toutle at 11\, Kid Valley at 18.3 (last place for gas)\, Eco\nPark at mile-post 24.1\, and finally Coldwater at milepost 45.\nOr you can go through Toledo until that road makes a T intersection with SR 504.\n – Gasoline powered motors are prohibited – it is part of Mount Saint Helens Monument\n – Federal pass required (America the Beautiful pass)\n – Boat ramp is gravel (Not concrete)\n – Can be windy\, 5+ mpg most of the day. Winds are usually blowing up the mountain in the morning\, and down the mountain in the afternoon \nIt takes about two hours of driving to get there and I recommend getting there around 9 am particularly if you plan to fish chironomids. Some club members will be arriving between 9 AM and 10 AM at the launch\, which is at the SW end of the Lake\, which is NE of Spirit Lake Highway/504.\nColdwater Lake is managed as a quality trout fishery. Wild rainbow and cutthroat are in the lake. Access is limited. Contact National Volcanic Monument Headquarters at 360-449-7800 for more information.

Bring two if you have them. One for indicator fishing and one with sinking line for streamers or leeches. This lake is a 2 Pole allowed lake. However a 2 pole endorsement is required.\nBe prepared to fish moderately deep with the cold weather. A slip bobber is preferred if fishing over 10’ deep but a fixed indicator is just fine. Floating line can be used to fish chironomids or balanced leeches under an indicator.\nSeven-foot tapered leader and 5x or 4x tippet. Tapered leader is not necessary if you want to go straight to tippet.\nChironomid flies in olive\, brown\, red\, black in sizes 14 and 16. Smaller balanced leeches in size 6\, 8 in olive\, black\, black/red\, brown. Scuds and backswimmers/water boatmen might be good flies too. Stripping woolly buggers with a sink 3 is effective too. \nRSVP to Max if you are planning to attend: 360-790-6613 (He may have an open seat on his boat).

We had about 1-1/2 hours with fish every few minutes trolling full sinking lines. At last month’s meeting Kevin mentioned using a stimulator pattern on a floating line that the fish were hitting on the retrieve when fly was below the surface.
