SUMMARY:Monthly Outing Coldwater Lake (St. Helens)
DESCRIPTION:You must have a pontoon boat or some means of getting on the lake – no fishing is permitted from shore (if you hike the lake\, you are restricted to “stay on the trail” and there are only two access points to the shoreline where boats may land). 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.

SUMMARY:Beginning Fly Tying Class

You also will have an assortment of flies in your fly box to take out on the water with you\, including dry\, wet\, and streamer flies! Four additional Thursday “Lab” sessions provide students extra assistance with the lessons and practice tying the flies outside of lesson nights. All tying materials are included for tying in class and at home (threads\, feathers\, etc.). Students bring their “homework” flies to the following class for evaluation.

SUMMARY:Monthly Outing - Wynoochee River Outing
DESCRIPTION:Our new location will be Twin Bridges Park near Montesano on the mighty Wynoochee River. 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

SUMMARY:Beginning Fly Tying
DESCRIPTION:Learn basic fly-tying techniques\, with no prior knowledge of fly fishing or fly-tying required! We’ll start with basic skills and materials and build weekly as you progress through more advanced techniques and fly patterns. By the end of the class you will have learned eight different fly patterns. Additionally\, you will be able to match each fly you tie to the particular food source it represents. You also will have an assortment of flies in your fly box to take out on the water with you\, including dry\, wet\, and streamer flies! Four additional Thursday “Lab” sessions provide students extra assistance with the lessons and practice tying the flies outside of lesson nights. All tying materials are included for tying in class and at home (threads\, feathers\, etc.). Students bring their “homework” flies to the following class for evaluation.
