Page 4 Hatches & Rises Online PWWTU Currents - Chapter News & Notes 50th Banquet Blurb by Ken Crawford Penn’s Woods West 50th Anniversary Celebration was held Saturday, September 21, 2013, at Grazie Restaurant and Event Center in Wexford. The banquet was well attended, with over 60 members, their spouses and friends gathering to hear past presidents and VIP’s reminisce about their experiences in the organization, on the stream, and the dear friends they have made. The highlight of the evening was the speech by Chris Wood, the CEO of TU. Chris spoke on how TU can make a difference, and how members of PWWTU can influence decision-makers in Harrisburg, saving the world one trout at a time. Over a dozen door prizes were given out as well. I’d like to personally thank the Banquet Committee, Walter Reineman, Charles Buffington III, Christian Shane, Leah Eggers, Peter TenEyck, & Dick Packer for their help in organizing the event.

Many congratulations must go to our Website Designer and Manager, Joe Birch. Joe retooled the website in 2010 and has been updating it ever since. We congratulate Joe and the chapter on a job well-earned! Here’s a little information about Joe and the website: How did you get involved in Trout Unlimited and in the chapter as the web designer? Dale Fogg, a good friend and fishing buddy, asked me to take a look at what the local TU Chapter was doing. The site just needed a little TLC. What do you do as a career and how does this experience help you in working on the web? I run a design and marketing company called In-House Graphics Inc. We create marketing materials and develop websites. What do you like most about PWWTU? I like that the PWWTU chapter is open to new ideas to keep communications flowing for its members. In this current age of fast-paced interactions, it's key to be able to reach TU members young and old to keep them updated on changes with stream management and how a person can get involved. How could we incorporate more technology into the chapter? It's possible we could video record our meeting speakers and replay them on the website as a type of Webinar. Even people at the meeting might watch the speaker again just to learn even more of what they heard while there. More email blasting to members about upcoming events. Promote door prizes, maybe offer sponsorship opportunities. Where do you see the future of TU or our chapter going? I see a lot of potential growth with TU. Reaching members to let them know about great speakers at our monthly meetings and fundraising events like Cabin Fever, people will continue to see the value of joining with others to enjoy our natural resources. Treasurer’s Financial Report By Kenneth Crawford Our Fiscal Year began on October 1, 2013. We are starting the year out with an operating balance of $26,336. Our budgeted operating expenses for 2014 is $17,210, so the chapter is on sound financial footing. We will continue to need your help in supporting the chapter by way of participating in the 2014 Holiday Rod Raffle, the Great Joe Kline Fly Sale, and in making Cabin Fever 2014 a success. If you would like any further details on the chapter’s finances, please contact Ken Crawford. Page 6 Hatches & Rises Have you ever heard of “Phenology”? By Christian Shane Thirty-five years ago, PWWTU was asking... In 1978, fellow chapter members were fascinated with bug life, fly tying, and “matching the hatch” as demonstrated by this reply letter by Charlie Meck about the relationship between insects and plant life. Phenology (fi-ˈnä-lə-jē) is the study of periodic plant and animal life cycle events and how these are influenced by seasons and variations in climate and habitats. Many anglers and tyers use this information to observe what trout are eating at any given time period and create their flies and lures to match. Please do your part in keeping our chapter interested in all things tying, technical and trout! One way is to donate to our Joe Kline Great Fly Sale! Big Joe loved tying and especially involving new people into the sport. This sale is our way of inviting new and old members alike to enjoy looking over and purchasing our chapter’s best fly patterns. We’re looking for these flies which Charlie mentioned in his letter as well as any you are willing to part with or even tie up for the chapter. See instructions below right for contributing to this great chapter function, and we hope to see you at the January meeting. Fly Donations can be dropped off at any regular membership meeting during November, December or January and given to Christian Shane. If you cannot attend a meeting, please contact Christian via email or call (412) 916-2979 to arrange for shipping. Flies needed: Dries, wets, streamers, nymphs, eggs and/or your favorite patterns. We will box them in sets of six. Invite your friends to this big event on Monday, January 13, 2014! Thanks for donating to this wonderful chapter event and fundraiser!

Thank you for your efforts in protecting, conserving and restoring Pennsylvania’s cold water streams. (Information Courtesy of PATU’s Website) Page 8 River’s Last Drift Hatches & Rises By Christian Shane I named him River, not for any particular river, but representative of the many drifts on the Western waters we would experience. His brown eyes sag and drool spills from his mouth. He struggles to leap into the drift boat, unlike hundreds of fishing trips before. His paws and legs so brittle, his body losing weight with each day. I knew it would be our last day together, and so we embarked on one final drift trip. River and me, a lab and a guide, drifting through our memories together just once more. We sit in our usual spots on the boat, River at the bow seat and me at the oars, ready to push off. The chill in the air predicts our mood as we launch, but skies are blue and clear, a sign of hope. As I anchor to rig up, the boat sways from side to side as River gazes into the crystal clear water. I spot some tricos popping off the surface. Searching through the fly box, mayfly patterns scatter every which way. Order Ephemeroptera, “Short-lived.” River’s spirit is blinking by in such short time, like the mayflies’ lifecycle. Memories flood my thoughts at the eleven years we had on and off the water together. I cast a few and raise some decent browns right at the put-in. River pays no attention to surface splashes or the release like once before; he’s unmoved by trout as he stares into nothingness. At six months, that lab perched under the tying bench patiently waiting with laser focus for scraps of deer hair to float from my vise to the floor. A quiet presence as he lay at my feet while I tied the winter stock of flies. He smelled those animal pelts with intoxication as one would enjoy the scent of a wine cork or the spring perfume of lilacs. I swear he even chewed and swallowed a size #14 Elk Hair Caddis once, but it was never confirmed the next day. I finally included him on the drift boat when he turned one. Trained to love the bow seat, River didn’t enjoy it when out-of-towner clients bumped him into the middle with me. To show his disregard, he exited the boat with a large splash right before I would anchor, soaking us all. At four years old, River joined us on a State College, PA trout trip for native brook trout. My Uncle Frank and I made a bet to see who could catch the most brookies on a particular spring creek. River sabotaged the trip by swimming in each of the small holes, wading back and forth between us. Just as each pool settled, he would stir everything back up, chasing after each trout fin and never catching up to those wily fish. We finally had some success tagging into some when River decided to stay on shore and play in the field. When we finished a productive day of fishing, instead of his usual deep black coat, his fur was a shade of light gray, suspiciously similar to goose scat. There he sprawled out in the middle of the field, prideful of his actions. Today, time slows to the point of clarity, and the water is ours. Eerily, boats have disappeared from the river, and we are alone. River adjusts his aching body to lay his head on the seat and bumps the weathered wooden cherry crate with his legs. (Continued on Page 9) Hatches & Rises Page 9 River’s Last Drift By Christian Shane (Continued from Page 8) One year on my birthday, the guys at the fly shop chipped in and bought me that case filled to the brim with cherries. After a client day, we all decided to close up and have a few brews to celebrate while River stood guard over the shop. Unlocking the door and stumbling in later that night, we discover hundreds of cherry pits scattered on the shop floor. River lay in the middle of all the pits, obviously exhausted from indulging in the hundreds of cherries in that crate. He had spit out every pit. I didn’t taste one cherry from that crate, but River’s actions did spark a killer “cherry-picker” fly recipe from the episode that we all used the next season. We round the midpoint of the trip, and by now he’s lying on the boat’s floor at my feet. Not typical of he who watched for wildlife on the shore and trout sipping on the surface. Every so often, he’d get shouts of greetings from the passersby on drift boats and floats. River drew the attention of others fishing the water, thereby granting me their secrets and the hot flies that day. I offer River a bite to eat by opening a bag of marshmallows, his favorite. He turns his head in disgust and rests his head back down. At our guide campfires, he would mooch marshmallow after marshmallow while providing tricks by the light of the fire. He wouldn’t stop moving from person to person until every last trace of marshmallow and beer had disappeared. Now, he just lays there with no enthusiasm and his life slips away. The boat glides calmly in the current as I see a storm approaching from our southeast. The fishing dies down a bit and then shuts down completely, leaving me at the oars watching my friend suffer to breathe. I break down the fly rod for the evening and tears fill my eyes. I allow the current to guide the boat the last mile to the take out ramp, winding wherever it takes us. I stroke his fur while he lays his head between his paws. River takes his last breath. The ramp is clear of boats and anglers at sunset, somber and silent. Better this way. He would’ve loved staying just an hour longer with me to pick off a few hungry trout at the ramp while the crickets sing their evening songs. The rocks brush the bottom of the boat as it slows to the ramp as I hold his lifeless head in my arms. Goodbye my friend, may your last drift take you to paradise. Page 10 Hatches & Rises Allegheny Fly Tyers By Bobby Heil, Jr. Welcome to the 2013 Fall Session of Allegheny Fly Tyers. This fall we have added an Intermediate class at Gander Mountain & have also started a Beginning class with the help of International Angler. For the Beginning classes, the flies have remained the same: San Juan worm & green weenie, soft hackle, caddis pupa, wooly bugger, pheasant tail, hare’s ear, Griffith’s gnat, Adams dry fly, and the elk hair caddis. For the beginning students we key in on techniques and not so much on how many flies are tied. As of 9/30/13, we have a total of 10 students participating in the two beginning classes. As for the Intermediate class, we are advancing the students to more difficult techniques in fly tying. We have a total of 10 tying classes scheduled. The flies in the intermediate class are as follows: spinner, Clouser minnow, Shenk minnow, single post fly, caddis emerger, Chernobyl ant, Klinkhammer, wiggle nymph, and the muddler minnow. As of 9/30/13 we have 5 students participating in the Intermediate class. Of the five intermediate students, four of them are from the beginning class from either last Spring 2013 or the fall session of 2012. Students in both of the classes are learning each week and enjoying the classes very much. Thanks again to International Angler for allowing this class to take place at their location every Thursday night for 10 weeks. With a fly shop supporting us this way, we stand to gain a lot of students that will attend future classes. There is also a possibility of International Angler holding a Film Tour at a local theater as a fund raiser for the Allegheny Fly Tyers, but details are still in the planning stages. Please support us by buying a hat, shirt, or sweatshirt. Hats are sold for $18, shirts are sold for $12, and sweatshirts are sold for $29. We will have these available at each meeting while the supply lasts. If we do not have any items available, we will take your name and you will receive your item of choice when our next order arrives. All proceeds go to supplies and materials for each of the class sessions. Show your support for a great activity. The Allegheny Fly Tyers are committed to providing the best tying classes that we can for each student paticipant. We are also committed to support Penn’s Woods West Trout Unlimited through the classes. Our hope is that we inspire some of the students through fly tying to join the local TU chapter so that it can continue for years to come. Until the next issue of H&R, happy tying to all. Hatches & Rises Page 11 A Perfect Weekend of Fly Fishing for CFRWPA Casting for Recovery Article By Anne Caffee & Pictures by Brigit Shields Picture-perfect weather, superb lodging, delectable food, and friendly people: sound like dream late-summer getaway? It was for fourteen women, all breast cancer survivors, at Casting for Recovery of Western Pa’s (CFRWPA) fifth annual retreat August 23 through 25 at the Homewaters Club, along the banks of the Little Juniata River in Spruce Creek, Pa. The getaway had an important purpose: to provide these cancer survivors a weekend of fellowship with others who have walked in their shoes, while they learn the art of fly-fishing – for most, a brand-new skill – as a vehicle for healing. Accompanying the women were CFRWPA volunteers and “Riverhelpers,” experienced fly-fishers working one-on-one with the women at the end of the retreat, which culminates in a morning on a trout stream. Casting for Recovery, founded in 1996, is a medically endorsed, innovative healing program using counseling, medical education, and instruction in fly fishing to provide this unique opportunity for women at any age, or stage of treatment. Each year, fourteen women are chosen at random from more than 75 to 100 applicants to participate in the Western Pennsylvania retreat, provided at no cost, through volunteer fundraising, and donations from individuals and businesses. What was it like for the women? Here’s a response that brings it all home, and why Casting for Recovery volunteers are ‘hooked’ on helping to make these retreats possible: "Living through breast cancer makes you feel broken in so many ways...emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The Casting for Recovery weekend was a first step to feel whole again. I will never forget the sensation of cold water against the waders in the stream with the beauty of nature and thinking...I'm ALIVE again. I am so grateful for this new beginning. Thank you."

Mark Sausser of the PA Fish & Boat Commission planned and supervised the installation of 4 log frame stone deflectors in Pine Creek on the Hampton Township Waste water treatment facility property. Thirty-five volunteers from PWWTU and Allison Park Sportsmen’s Club joined Hampton Township employees to perform the work. Hampton Township donated all the construction material as well as the use of three pieces of heavy equipment with operators. Page 13 Hatches & Rises Fall Pine Creek Work Day By Tom Walsh The Allegheny County Conservation District assisted PWWTU with obtaining the proper permits. All the workers enjoyed morning coffee and donuts and a catered lunch. A beautiful 8 foot 5 weight handcrafted fly rod made by Bill Hayes was raffled off to the volunteer workers. The lucky winner was Gary Franceschina (Pictured on Page 12), a member of both PWWTU & APSC. In 2014, you will find us on the same stretch of stream installing an additional 5 devices!
