Prez Sez
By Glen Miller
Although the fall/winter rains have set in, the rivers are
still at good levels for fishing. I hope some of you get in a
few days of fishing before the end of the year. As for me,
I'm going to try to go for a salmon on one of the south
coast rivers or maybe do some fishing in the Willamette
here close to town...we'll see. The winter steelhead will be
arriving soon and the Alsea, Siuslaw, and a few other
reasonably close coastal rivers will entice some of us. I'm
thinking we're about due for a year of normal steelhead
fishing weather (steady rains with some breaks and no
long term fog events) in Jan and Feb this season. We can
only hope!
I’d like to invite all club members to our annual planning
meeting on Saturday, Dec 5th from 9-12 at the Vida
Community Center. We'll discuss and plan many of our
2016 activities and go over issues that need more
discussion than we have time for at our monthly board
meetings. All club members are invited to this meeting.
It's a great time for many of you who are new to the club
to meet our club leaders and learn more about the club.
At the end of the meeting we'll have a potluck lunch before
heading home. Jen Acosta will be sending out an e-mail
the week before with directions and more information
about the potluck.
Hope to see you all this Thursday night!
Our October Auction this year was a tremendous success.
At our board meeting last week, we reviewed the results.
Our net profit was as high as we've ever had. The food
was excellent and we all thought that the venue, although
a bit tight, worked well. Attendance was definitely up and
everyone seemed to have a great time together. I'd like to
thank Marv Clemons, the auction committee, and everyone
who showed up and bid on the many available auction
items. Everyone did their part to once again make this a
fantastic event!

Annual Holiday Party
December 17, 2015
As happens most years, our November meeting is on the
3rd Thursday of the month as I doubt many folks would
show up on the 4th Thursday which is Thanksgiving. As
we've done now for the last several years, the meeting
program will be photos from many of the club outings and
other activities in 2015. Roz and Katherine have been
hard at work on this show and you won't want to miss
seeing where your fellow club members fished this last
year.
6 pm to 9 pm
Roaring Rapids Pizza Parlor
Riverside Restaurant
I recently renewed our building use agreement with the
Wesley United Methodist Church for use of their facilities
again in 2016. I've only received positive comments about
our new meeting location so we'll be right there again for
all our meetings next year.
At the November meeting we'll be holding our annual
elections. Club officers and three new board members will
be elected. Prior to the balloting, nominations from the
floor will be called, allowing for a response. Then all club
members will have an opportunity to vote and elect the
officers and directors.

Pizza, salad bar and soft drinks will be provided,
beer and wine will be available for purchase

Optional: bring a wrapped gift (not to exceed $15 to
exchange) and a food item for Food for Lane County

A raffle will be held for appropriate fly fishing items


Being an old swabby and coastie, the conversation around
the table reminded me of being with a group from the Navy
or Coast Guard swapping sea stories. All four of the
members were veteran fly fishers with much experience and
travel to exotic places to fish with really great stories to
share. The two attributes I noticed especially were that all
were good listeners, and had great senses of humor. We all
agreed to meet again for breakfast at 8:00 in the morning
decide when, where, and what to use to fish for the day and
return to the restaurant again at 6:30 or 7:00 for dinner,
lying, and good humor.
Diamond Lake Outing Report
By Marv Clemons
The weather report was bad. I had been a bit late in
arriving at the lodge due to completing the final stages of
finishing the auction activities left from the night before,
such as taking the few remaining items that had not been
sold to St. Vincent DePauls for donation, assembling my
fishing equipment, readying the drift boat for seaworthiness, packing a lunch for the road and gassing the
car. At 10:45 I was on the road looking forward to one of
my favorite outings. I was looking forward to this outing
especially because there were new members of the club that
I had not yet fished with and other than meeting them at
club meetings I knew nothing about. You never know.
As planned at 8:00 am the CFF crew were in the restaurant
having oatmeal, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast hash browns
and lots of coffee and tea. We all decided to head for the
south end boat launch and most of the flies included
chironomids provided by Bob W., and woolly buggers in
black, brown and, olive with a size 16-14 prince or other
small nymph as the dropper. Casting and stripping using a

rhythm I had used for bass but without the same positive
results. As I fished I had a constant refrain from Rich telling
me how he was depending on me to show him how to fish
the lake, what to use, and where to fish and even how to
hold my mouth while fishing. Pressure, pressure, pressure.
(All in good humor of course.) I learned later that he had
had probably more experience at Diamond Lake than I had.
It wasn’t long until another of our group arrived on the pier,
Tim Hood. Tim seemed to know quite a bit about Diamond
as he too had fished the lake before.
(Continued on Page 4)
With Tim and Rich and myself all accounted for, we were
waiting for Bob W, Curtis, and Bob O and by the time we
had walked back to our rooms Curtis, and Bob O had
arrived and as far as we knew Bob W. still remained on the
water. In the Outing Planning materials I had sent, the
agenda for Friday the 23rd was to meet in the Lodge
restaurant at 6:30 for dinner and plan the next two days
activities. We then took care of any remaining unpacking
and headed for the lodge to wait for Bob W. around the nice
big, warm fireplace.
Dinner at the Lodge was as always excellent but what
made it excellent for me was the opportunity to get to know
the four relatively new members and reunite with Curtis
with whom I had often fished.

Diamond Lake Continued from page 3
Sunday morning on the water was beautiful with sun breaks and clouds and warm in mid 60’s. As good weather
forecasters often do, I dipped my finger in my mouth and stuck it into the air and proclaimed that there would be no rain
forthcoming today. I also gave the air my trained sniff test and proclaimed that the air had no rain essence and would
not come. 15 minutes later I was sitting in my drift boat in the middle of one of the worst down pours I had ever
experienced. So much for deep scientifically based predictions. The upside of the experience was that when the rain
began so did the fish start to bite. I love to fish in the rain. I caught nine fish in 30 minutes all on a brown woolly
bugger with the small nymph dropper. I then switched to a size 18 “Trout Candy” chironomid tied by Bob W. and caught
four more. None of the 13 fish were huge. Sixteen was the largest with the others again in the 12 to 14 inch range. All
fought well and seemed to be enjoying the rain as much as I was. At noon I continued my plan and pulled in, trailered
the boat and headed for Crane Prairie. The trip took just under two hours and when I arrived those who left early from
Diamond Lake were trailering their pontoons and boats and were ready to head for home. They all had taken some nice
fish in the 18 to 20 inch range and were very satisfied with their performance. It was a bit late for me to launch and fish
as it was nearly dark so I wished each member safe travels home and hit the road myself.
It was a good trip and all went well. There was much camaraderie and laughs, all caught fish, we enjoyed great food,
and all arrived home safely. What more could we have asked for?

Fall River Outing
By Fred Acosta
Most of the members that attended the
outing arrived on Thursday and stayed at either
Twin Lakes cabins or RV park. Katherine and Frank
Pavia and Steve Wasilewski stayed in the cabins . The
rest stayed who camped at the RV park included;
Curtis and Paula Erickson, Dennis Munroe, Daniel
Rogers, and Pete Szekely. Jen, my lovely wife, was
also kind enough to join me and keep the trailer
safe when we were out fishing. Trese Slocum
showed for the day on Saturday but went home that
evening. Kat and Frank tried their luck at South Twin
on Friday and hooked into a couple of nice
Rainbows. On Saturday, the majority of the members
put in at Crane Prairie and had some luck but the
winds were blowing so strong that most had major
problems and soon gave up and came into shore.
Still Frank managed to hook a few and Kat had a big
ol' honker which took her into the snags and broke
her line. Daniel and I headed to Fall river because of
the wind. Daniel caught a couple of nice ones, with
one in the 17' - 18.” range, and as I was taking a
picture of it, it squirmed out of his hand, fell on the
bank and made it back to the water safely, we think.
Daniel Rogers on the Fall River
That evening we had dinner and most of us
gathered by the fire to eat marshmallows and tell
fish stories. And of course the 20 percent chance of
rain we had in the forecast actually happened. We
tried our best to stay out there as long as possible
as it was just a light rain but got stronger as the
night when on, so everyone took shelter. We made a
plan to meet the next morning and head out to Fall
River. The next morning we were awakened by gun
fire as deer season was in full swing. Run Bambi
Run!!!!! Kat, Frank, Steve, Dennis, Daniel and I
headed out to fish the Fall as everyone else decided
to try Crane Prairie one more time. No one had any
luck on the Fall, as we tried different locations with
the same result. No report came back from the
members at Crane that day.
All in all, it was a good time, it was fun trying a new
location with different options. We had so many
lakes and rivers to choose from that Daniel and I
even took a swing at the Deschutes River above
Wickiup lake. We heard one of out neighbor campers
hooked into a 24” brown trout and lost another one
that looked like it could have swallowed the 24
incher. We witnessed thousands of Kokanee Salmon
spawning in another arm of the Deschutes. I look
forward to the trip next year, and probably back to
the Metolius river as well.

Outings are another big draw and bring in many new
participants who usually join. Outings offered during this
Third Quarter included: East Lake, Coastal Lakes, Fall River,
Alsea River and Diamond Lake. The fund raising auction
offers a number of drift trips on local rivers provided by
experienced club members and includes both rivers –
McKenzie, Willamette, Deschutes, Crooked, Alsea, Siletz,
Umpqua and Siuslaw. Still waters include: East, Wickiup,
Paulina, Crescent, Odell, Crane Prairie, Davis, Horton Pond,
Hills Creek, Cougar, Blue River, Cottage Grove and Dorena
reservoirs.
CASCADE FAMILY FLY FISHERS (CFF)
Third Quarter Club Report to
Oregon Council International Federation of Fly Fishers
The CFF just keeps moving. Our new digs for our
meetings and activities is now in the activity center at the
Wesley United Methodist Church at the corner of Oakway
and Cal Young Streets in Eugene. With the change of venue
also came the necessity of changing our regular meeting
days. Board meetings are now on the second Thursday of
the month from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. General Membership
meetings are on the 4th Thursday of the month. Doors
open at 6:15 with demonstration fly tying. The meeting
starts at 7:00 and continues to 9:00 PM.
Community Events include: Demonstration Casting and
Fly Tying at the annual Sport and Boat Show in Eugene;
ORCFFF Fly Tying and Fishing Expo. in Albany, Ore. , The
International Federation of Fly Fishers Fair in Bend, Ore.;
Rehabilitation of the Delta Pond Complex in Eugene;
Demonstration Fly Tying and Casting at the annual
McKenzie River Antique Boat Show at Eagle Rock Lodge on
the McKenzie River and the McKenzie River Chainsaw Art
Competition in Blue River, Or. Regular demonstration fly
tying and casting at various fly fishing businesses such as
Cabelas, Home Waters, and Caddis Fly are also provided.
The club has had the good fortune of increasing in
membership this quarter from 87 to our current
membership of 104. November is the month that new
Club Officers, Board Members, and Committee Chairs are
selected. We are in the process of recruiting for those
positions and encourage those interested to let any one in
the current leadership know so we will have a full ballot
from which to choose. We will be coming into the year with
a healthy budget after a very successful club auction in
2014 and look forward to another on October 22 of 2015.
This will give the club the funds to plan and schedule a full
calendar of events including, outings, classes, club picnic,
holiday party, youth activities, programs, conservation
projects, monthly club raffles, and public service activities.
The CFF website is now up and running as promised. Be
sure and check it out at cascadefamilyflyfishers.com .
The two community (Professional) activities that provided
the most exposure for the CFF this Third Quarter were the
ORCFFF Fly Tying and Fishing Exposition held in Albany, Or.
and the International Fly Fishing Fair in Bend, Or. The

members attending and “A Night on the River” held at
Taylor Landing Boat Launch also on the McKenzie River with
many new members attending. These group activities
provide the opportunity for beginners and veteran fly
fishers to fish together, give & take instruction, share a
great lunch and perhaps even catch some fish.
The “Fly Tying” classes offered are scheduled by the level
of skill of the participant from beginner to veteran. Many
of the expert tiers in the club assist the lead instructor
which provides individual attention to those who request
assistance. The classes fill fast.

Special Thanks to Outings Hosts
The Cascade Family Flyfisher’s outings for this year are now officially over. It was a great year for our club
members to fish together as a group, and had many enjoyable trips this year.
Special thanks go to our Outings Hosts of 2015: Marv Clemons, who hosted three trips this year — the Alsea
River trip, Coastal Lakes, and Diamond Lake. Rod Roth, who hosted two trips this year — Carmen Reservoir and East
Lake. Glen Neal and Bill Burleigh who hosted the Horton Pond outing. Pete Szekely, for hosting the Hemlock Lake
outing. Glenn Miller, for hosting the Erma Bell outing. Dave Prindel and Randy Beard who hosted the south Umpqua
outing in lieu of the John Day trip. And Jen and Fred Acosta who hosted the Fall River outing.
All members who went on these trips know how much fun they are. The outing host handled the
organization of the trip, prepping participants on directions, what fish were there, what flies to bring, and any
special requirements of the area. They went the distance in making everyone feel welcomed and prepared with
breakfasts, dinners, desserts, and social times. A huge applause goes to them for their leadership.
Special thanks go to those who arranged CFF unsponsored outings: Bob Wolfe and Rich Murray at Cottage
Grove Pond for chironomid fishing and Glenn Miller for McKenzie River and South Umpqua river pontoon floats.
Because of these hosts it has been a great year for CFF fishing and a great year for our outings. Thanks go to
all of you. 2016 is just around the corner with new outings planned. More information forthcoming.
