Presidents Message
The Izaak Walton Club House is open for meetings at full capacity. The first live “in person” meeting is
scheduled for September 22nd for the Club BBQ and White Elephant. Spread the word and make this a great
turnout.
Our speakers for July and August are scheduled to make their presentations over Zoom. With a whole
bunch of luck and the good will of the City of Riverside, we might, let me emphasize MIGHT, get Internet
access in the club house. If that occurs before August 25th, we can hold a general membership meeting at the
club house with the speaker being on Zoom. That is still a long shot but we can always hope. It would be
great to see you all again and the sooner the better.
This month’s meeting is scheduled for the 28th of July at 7:00PM to 9:00PM. Our speaker will be Gary
Borger. The topic will be Nymphing From Top To Bottom. The Zoom waiting room will open 15 to 30 minutes
earlier. The link will be on the website and in a separate e-mail sent out to club members. The link for this
month’s meeting will be on the website and in a separate email that will be sent out to all members. Please
remind other members of the Zoom meetings and refer any members, who don’t know how to connect to Zoom
meetings, to me for assistance, well prior to the meeting. Have them send an email message to
president@deepcreekflyfishers.org
We still have positions open and need volunteers to step forward.

Our membership is still very low. We all need to be out promoting our club and encouraging past members
to rejoin. The low membership numbers could affect our December Banquette plans. We will be sending out a
survey to see how many people will be attending the banquette which is currently scheduled for December 1st.
Tight lines everyone.

In 2013, Gary was named one of the top seven most influential fly fishers of the last 50 years by Canada’s
Fly Fusion Magazine. Gary is currently working on a 20 book series entitled Fly Fishing with his son Jason.
Topic - Nymphing from Top to Bottom.
Big fish often stay deep and feed on nymphs and other food items of the bottom. The secret to successful
deep nymphing is getting the fly deep and keeping it there. In this program, learn amazingly easy and highly
successful new tactics for nymph fishing that makes the process totally visual—just like fishing dry flies—and
take big fish with great success.
Fly of the Month
RUSTY SPINNER
TIM FLAGLER
Translated by CARL WUEBBEN
NIGHTTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME
In late spring and summer, when the days are longest some of the most productive trout fishing takes place
after dark. As long as water temperatures stay cool enough, the first couple hours after sunset are a wonderful
time to fish: fewer anglers are on the water, the heat of the day has dissipated, the amount of insect activity
picks up, and perhaps most important, the cover of darkness eases a trout’s inhibitions. Although there are other
effective patterns, none rules the night quite like the rusty spinner. It’s intended to imitate a mayfly that has
hatched, mated, and is now returning to the river to deposit its eggs and fall “SPENT” – with outstretched wings
and tails – onto the surface. Protein – rich spent spinners are scarcely able to move on the water and are easy
targets for hungry trout that have spent most of the day beating the heat down deep or tucked away under
cover, its remarkable how quickly the wariest fish casually come to the water’s surface to feed after the sun
completely sets. There is no need to creep around in the middle of the night when fishing. Being on the water
much past 11PM isn’t all that productive. The spinners usually taper off around 10 or 10:30PM, but it’s fun to
chuck a streamer or perhaps a mouse pattern later into the evening. Getting accustomed to fly fishing in the
dark takes time and isn’t for everyone. Be sure to fish only the water you’re familiar with during the day. And
avoid fishing fast – moving water, not only is this dangerous, it’s also not the best place for fishing a rusty
spinner because your imitation will quickly sink and make detecting a strike more difficult. When fishing after
dark, most times you will hear rather than see fish take your fly. Fish a rusty spinner alone, not in combination
with an indicator or dropper fly. These few pieces of equipment are essential when fishing at night. First, trout do
not like artificial light of just about any kind, but wearing a headlamp is an absolute necessity. You’ll turn the
lamp off while fishing, but it is essential for getting to and from the river, removing hooks, and quickly releasing
fish. In addition, I strongly urge you to bring along bug spray, a wading staff, an extra layer of clothing, and
3 (FOTM cont. on page 4)
(FOTM cont. from page 3)
perhaps most important a fishing buddy. In the dark, falls and other accidents happen without warning, and
having immediate help is critical. Besides, having someone along adds to the fun.
PATTERN
HOOK – Your favorite regular dry fly hook, size #14
THREAD – Rusty brown 8/0 (70 denier)
TAILS – Microfibbets, white
ABDOMEN – Rusty spinner – colored turkey biot
WING- Polypropylene yarn, white
THORAX – Super fine dry fly dubbing, rusty brown
HOW TO TIE
1. Debarb hook - mount in vise. Cut a small length of thread off from the spool (about 2 inches) and start thread
in about mid shank and clip tag end. Form a loop with the cut off thread and tie it onto the hook shank with
the loop hanging out the rear of the hook and secure it firmly then clip tag ends off.
2. Tie in two Microfibbets to the top of the hook (for the tail) binding them down all the way to the eye of the
hook (for a smooth body) clip off the tag ends (tail should be 1 ½ the hook shank long).
3. Pull the tread loop up between the tails and forward over the top of the hook shank; the loop splays the
microfibbets to mimic the widespread tails of the real rusty spinner. Tie off the loop and clip the tag ends off.
4. Strip a single biot from the leading edge of a turkey feather. The rusty brown color is great for matching the
body of the real insect. Tie the tip of the biot onto the near side of the hook at the base of the tail. The notch
on the biot is pointing down, and we are looking at the concave side of the fiber.
5. Wrap the thread to the eyelet. Coat the thread wraps with a small drop of superglue. Now pull the biot up
and forward. It should fold over the top of the hook so the thin translucent edge is forward. Grab the end of
the biot with your hackle plyers and wrap the biot up the hook to form the body of the fly. Each new wrap
should touch the previous wrap, creating a segmented body with frilly ridges. Tie off and clip the biot close to
the hook.
6. Tie half a strand of polypropylene yarn (divide in half) - (about 1-2 inches) onto the top of and perpendicular
to the hook shank for the wing (about where you ended the biot) using figure eight crossing wraps of thread.
Pull back and trim both wings even with the back edge of the biot body. Then work out to each side.
7. With your index finger and your thumb twist a pinch of dubbing on the thread; the dubbing noodle should be
short and slender. With the noodle make figure eight crossing wraps of dubbing between the wings to build a
small thorax. Whip finish and clip off the thread.
8. Place a small drop of head cement on the butt end of the fly to protect the delicate fold in the biot and keep
the tails splayed. Allow the cement to sink into the biot and dry. Now tie up a couple dozen and try your luck
at night fishing.
Fly-Tying Tips
TIM FLAGLER
Using high-quality, thin diameter thread, such as VEEVUS 16/0, makes all the difference when tying small
flies. It and similar fine threads are strong, grip well, and because they are so thin, they don’t buildup bulk on the
hook; avoiding excess bulk is especially critical when making small flies. And in terms of tying technique, don’t
use too many thread wraps. You’ll be surprised how few wraps are actually needed to firmly secure materials to
a hook. 4
Making Fly-Tying Tools
BOBBIN THREADER
JASON KLASS
Using a small length of wooden dowel, drill a small hole in the tip, and crimp a length of wire (an “E” guitar
string works great) to form an elliptical loop (you want the tip to be a little “pointy”) then, insert the tag ends of
the loop into the hole and secure it with a drop of epoxy or superglue.
So-Cal Surf Fishing
As a beginner fly fisherman and someone who still works fulltime, I was looking for a way to get more time
on the water, since Eastern Sierra and my Colorado trips are few and far between. Surf fishing looked interest-
ing to me and within an hour and a half drive from Riverside. I had an 8wt rod that I had won at the last White
Elephant raffle, I just needed an appropriate saltwater reel. Thanks to some helpful information and tips from
fellow club member Steve Castles, I started hitting the surf about once a month starting at the beginning of the
year. My first 2 or 3 outings were pretty humbling, tiring and frustrating, but there was still something enjoyable
about being out there, it is the beach after all. The next 2 or 3 times I got some hookups only to lose them to the
dreaded Trout Set! I knew in my head that your supposed to strip set, but I just couldn’t help myself. Well, this
Sunday 7/18, I finally left the Trout Set at home and proceeded to actually land a couple of fish, one was a Bat
Ray and the other a Yellowfin Croaker. It felt really good and who knows maybe someday I might even catch a
Corbina! So, if you haven’t given surf fishing a try, I highly recommend it.

San Juan Trip 2021
This past Memorial Day weekend, 14 of our members travelled to Fisheads Lodge on the San Juan River for
3 days of guided fly fishing at the world class trout fishery. Several took 2 days to make the trip, staying
overnight at La Posada Hotel in Winslow, Arizona. La Posada is one of the famous Harvey hotels located on
the rail line from Los Angeles to Chicago. Good food and drink was enjoyed by all.
We arrived at Fisheads on Thursday for a delicious 4 course, pork chop dinner. Fishing licenses were
purchased and gear was prepared for the following days.
Thursday brought a beautiful morning of clear skies and warm weather. Breakfast service at 6 am and
guides were ready to go at 8 am. Once on the water everyone spread out and fishing was generally pretty
good. Phil Gold caught the big fish of the day (and maybe the trip), a beautiful rainbow estimated at 25 inches.
Friday and Saturday were much the same weather and fishing. Average fish was about 17 inches. People
caught fish on midges, dries and streamers. The water was gin clear. The numbers of fish that you could see
was amazing. Everybody had a story about the big one that got away, including yours truly. Oh, that big brown
that I hooked on a dry fly.
Everyone was happy with the guides, the food and the accommodations. In fact, most have already put in
their guide request for next year. David Spieske, Doug’s nephew from Chicago, won the free trip.
Next year’s trip has been changed to avoid the Memorial Day crowds and traffic. We will be arriving at
Fisheads on May 22. Fishing will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 23rd thru 25th. Cost will be about
$1400 per person which will include 20% gratuity for meals and housekeeping services. We already have 16 fly
fishers signed up for next year.
If you’d like to join us for next year, let me know as soon as you can. Guides and rooms are limited.

Mammouth Closer
Just a friendly reminder we are having the closer as planed SEPTEMBER 30TH to OCTOBER 7TH and we
are taking the money for it now but we only have so many spots and they go fast so please send your check to
Michael Stuhl our treasurer as soon as possible. The condo owners have assured me that the condo will be
cleaned to covid-19 cleaning specks by a company called VACASA and you can go to their website to see how
they do it and due to that they are charging us more but not much and it’s still a great deal for a week in mam-
moth fishing at $215.00 per person that’s $26.88 per day what a steal. Any questions just give me a call or

SOUTHWEST COUNCIL FLY FISHERS INTERNATIONAL
PRESIDENT
LEIGH ANN SWANSON | president@swcffi.org
THE HEAT IS ON
What does mother nature have in store for us this summer? The summer of 2021 is expected to be hotter than average
across much of the United States. What does that mean for trout? What does that mean for those of us that fly fish for
trout? These questions have been on the minds of many of us this month as temperatures soar here in California and
across the nation.
HOW HOT IS TOO HOT FOR TROUT?
In the heat of summer, water temperatures increase, which can be troublesome and often fatal for trout, especially during
extended periods of high temperature. If water temps get above 68 degrees Fahrenheit, fish begin to struggle to breathe,
get stressed and need a little extra TLC from us. How hot is too hot for trout? Here are a few tips courtesy of Trout
Unlimited based on water temperature:
Below 65 °F – Fish are happy, healthy, hungry, and ready for a fight.
65 - 68 °F - Trout are starting to slow down and are feeling the heat. Rope up with heavy tippet and land fish
quickly. Skip the picture and give them plenty of time to revive before release.
Over 68 °F – Heads up: Too hot for trout. Trout are feeling stressed and need a break! Mortality rates increase
even with proper handling.
PACK A THERMOMETER
How do you tell if the water too warm and causing the fish stress? Pack a fishing thermometer with you and when you get
to the stream check the water temperature. If the water is too hot (out of the trout comfort zone), have a beer, take a nap,
read a book, chase warm water species, fish a spring creek or a tailwater, or head for the high country and try again when
the water temperatures drop. In other words, give the trout a break. We all have a responsibility to protect the trout we love.

CDFW Rolls Out Guidance for Fishing During the Drought
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is asking recreational anglers to voluntarily change
how, when and where they fish to minimize stress and mortality among fish populations suffering from drought
conditions.
CDFW is advising anglers not to fish past noon on certain inland waters as even catch-and-release angling
during the hottest parts of the day can greatly increase fish stress and mortality.
“Many of our inland fisheries that rely on cold water habitat will likely be significantly impacted in the short
and long term,” said CDFW Inland Fisheries Manager Roger Bloom. “California's drought cycles have required
us to learn to manage fisheries with extreme variations in water flows. The last drought resulted in significant
effects to fisheries that took years to recover from. We hope the self-imposed Hoot Owl restrictions by anglers
will help mitigate those effects.”
Coldwater species such as trout, salmon and steelhead have the greatest likelihood of being affected by the
drought this year but low water levels and high-water temperatures can potentially affect all inland aquatic
species.
9 (CDFW cont. on page 10)
(CDFW cont. from page 9)
CDFW has introduced a series of voluntary angling recommendations – so-called “Hoot Owl” Restrictions – that
directs anglers to focus their fishing during the cooler “hoot owl” periods of the day when water temperatures are
lowest. A watchlist of specific waters anglers should avoid fishing past noon is included and will be updated as
conditions change. Sustained afternoon water temperatures exceeding 67 degrees Fahrenheit for trout fisheries
could trigger addition to the list.
Currently, the list of waters include:
· Lower Owens River (Pleasant Valley Dam downstream to Five Bridges) in Mono County
· Hot Creek in Mono County
· Mill Creek (Walker Basin) in Mono County
· Lower Rush Creek (Grant Lake to Mono Lake) in Mono County
· Bridgeport Reservoir in Mono County
· Deep Creek (San Bernardino County)
· Crowley Lake (Mono County)
· Truckee River (Lake Tahoe to the Nevada state line) in Nevada, Placer and Sierra counties
As conditions change, CDFW will post the updated list on the “Hoot Owl” Restrictions page.
Elevated water temperatures, lower oxygen levels, disease, low flows and low water levels are among the
drought-related effects impacting many of California’s coastal waters and inland fisheries.
CDFW offers a number of other angling tips to reduce fish stress during the drought:
· Minimize the time you spend "fighting" the fish and any hands-on handling.
· Use rubber or coated nylon nets to protect a fish's slime layer and fins.
· Quickly remove the hook with forceps or needle-nosed pliers.
· Minimize the amount of time the fish is exposed to air, especially when the weather is warm.
· Keep your hands wet when handling the fish.
· If the fish is deeply hooked, do not pull on the line. Instead, cut the line as close as possible to where it is
hooked and leave the hook so it can dissolve.
· Allow the fish to recover in the net before you release it.
· If the fish does not stay upright when you release it, gently move it back and forth.
· Avoid fighting fish from deeper, cooler waters and bringing them into warmer waters at the surface if
your intention is to release them.
· Target fisheries that have stable water levels and species that are more resilient to elevated
temperatures.
While theses best practices may not all apply to anglers interested in harvesting their fish to eat, mortality may
result from non-targeted species caught and released or fish outside of legal size limits that must be returned to
the water.
