Keith Burkhart
The Oregon Council proudly presents
the 2013 Northwest Fly Tyer & Fly
Fishing Expo. This Expo marks our 25th
anniversary that we have been hosting
this event. Its growth and success is
attributed to the enormous number
of volunteers, tyers, and participating
vendors that put forth their effort to
improve the Expo every year. Please
take some time to read about our history
and attend our program at the Banquet
Saturday evening.
Our Mission
25 Years of the FFF Oregon Council Fly Tyer Expo
Attendees at recent Oregon Council Fly Tyer Expos have enjoyed a
successful, educational and social event. Today it is mentioned in the
fly fishing world as one of the best, most imitated fly fishing and
tying fairs. Just like contemporary Oregon residents might forget or
fail to recognize the efforts of the states early pioneers, the first Tying
Expo founders had to blaze a trail to the established event we see
today.
Twenty-five years ago, the late 1980's did not seem to be the best
time to start an event dedicated to fly tying. The Oregon Council was
recently formed, separating from the Federation of Fly Fishermens'
Northwest Council; with a lack of funds, organization and
recognition. There was then, a smaller pool of interested anglers and
tyers, and no Brad Pitt Movie yet to promote and glamorize the sport
of fly fishing.
The mission of the Oregon Council
Federation of Fly Fishers is to Improve
Fly Fishing in Oregon by providing
information to fly fishers, to improve
their skills by preserving and expanding
fly fishing opportunities and by
improving fish habitat.
On a ride back from a FFF meeting in Olympia Washington, Keith
Burkhart and Skip Hosfield discussed the state of the new Oregon
Council. They agreed on many goals, including fly fisher education,
and the need of a major fund raiser for the Council. Skip, who had
attended many Federation national conclaves, noted that the tyers
there always got the largest crowds, with stacked rows of interested
fishers straining to observe and get new ideas from the tyer sessions.
By the end of the drive back to Oregon, Keith and Skip decided the
new council needed to promote a fly tyers exposition in Oregon.
Sherry Steele – 2013 President, Oregon
Council
[email protected]
Burkhart was the new President of the Oregon Council. As
President, he was busy creating the organization and staffing
positions. With a very limited budget, he created or supported efforts
that advanced the FFF and the sport. During this active period, he
promoted the Federation with individual members and affiliated
clubs. He helped start the Oregon State Fair Fly Tying Competition,
and was a leading force in the establishment of the Tyer Expo. His
biggest contribution, acknowledged by most, was creating a stable
and financially sound council to provide guidance and support for all
the breakthrough efforts at that critical period.
Skip Hosfield
Hosfield was an original FFF member since its founding in Eugene in
1965. Through the years he continued to be an active and guiding
member of the Federation. Together with Keith, they promoted the
idea of an Expo to the next Council meeting, facing some strong
objections. They convinced the group to take on the task, and set out
to make it reality. Skip was appointed Expo Chairman, a title he
carried for the first two years of the Expo. He dove right into the
organization and staffing for the event. As there were no rules or
guidelines for such duties, he says he "made them up as I went
along". Skip sent out notices to clubs and tyers to attract interest and
participation; not an easy task in those pre-Email days.
The Council was fully committed as it inked the contract for the
Wheeler Exposition Center in Eugene. With the date set for the first
Expo, the task of lining up tying talent was a group effort. Federation
clubs were asked for recommendations of their best local craftsmen;
the goal a wide and diffuse sampling of tyers from throughout the
state. As the event neared, Skip became the Recruiter-in-Chief.
Both Keith and Skip give high credit to the many volunteers who,
"just stepped up and got the job done". Many members of Eugene's
McKenzie Flyfishers assisted in the Expos as individuals and as a
club. The club organized and ran the first fly and material auctions.
Other affiliated clubs and members also gave anonymous but
important service.
Some individuals cited for their efforts were:
Cliff Adams - called a "helpful worker bee", who toiled behind the
scenes. He was the unofficial photographer in the early years.
Bob Guard - Then owner of "The Caddis Fly" in Eugene, he was
"very supportive" of the Expo and served as auctioneer in the first
years.
Greg Pitts - Assisted in organization, eventually becoming Expo
Chairman in the 3rd and 4th years. He initially aided in promotion
with a crafty program of planting stories of local tyers in regional
newspapers, generating interest and free publicity.
Tom Porterfield - Spread the word on the Expo via the Council
newsletter to individuals and clubs.
Stan Walthers - First assisted in organization, helped to contact tyers,
and later became Expo Chairman during the 5th and 6th years.

The FouNders
On that March day of the first Expo, no one was sure how the day
would unfold. Survival, not legacy, was the priority of the day. No
one had even thought to fashion a commemorative logo or pin.
When all the organizing was complete, the chairs and tables arranged,
the tyers ready at their tools and vices, the doors to the arena were
opened to the public. Keith Burkhart admits to being nervous at the
onset. Greg Pitts recalling the day, reports that if Keith was nervous,
he managed to hide it well. Keith, who in his self-effacing manner,
describes his duties that day as "money-changer", must have felt
relieved at 3 PM when he knew he had enough cash to pay expenses
for the day. With a good gate and profit from the auctions, the
concept of an Oregon tying exposition had proved viable.
Within a few years it was evident that the Expo was going to be a
long-term success and met the original founders goals of creating a
solid fund raiser, while providing an educational platform for the
tying aspect of the angling arts. The Eugene facility had a few
problems: limited space, dim florescent lighting, and memorable
washroom facilities. Yet, as word of the value and camaraderie of
the Expo spread, tyers from many locales increasingly asked to be
included at the tying tables, putting a strain on the available
placements. The founders and later developers of the Expo felt that
the event needed to grow the tyers space, and enlarge the
demonstration and instruction into other angling areas. As the Expo
grew larger than the capability of the pavilion, many began to explore
the possibilities of new territories for the Expo.
A new group of Federators had taken the reins of the Expo, and
sought to take it to the next step, in the new century. Many
unheralded Council members and Federation activists sought out new
frontiers; a larger, more modern facility, with expanded space to
highlight all the angling areas. The growing awareness that the Expo
needed to grow to a multi-day event, impelled the decision to move
from Eugene, where the hall was not available for an expanded
calendar.
Years before, a conversation during a long ride back from a council
meeting planted the seed that became the idea to create the Expo.
Years later, another conversation on a long ride back from a council
meeting helped formulate the decision to move. Stan Steele and
Dwight Klemin of Salem, prime agents of the Santiam Spey Casters,
decided to actively explore new territories for the event. Stan and
Dwight eventually identified the value and potential of the LinnBenton Convention Center, and the Oregon Council locked up the
facility for several years. With enlarged space, schedule and
expense, many FFF members stepped up to ensure the continued
success and growth of the Expo.
During the first years of the move northward to Albany, Tony
Brauner was Council President, Tilda Runner Secretary, and Jim
Fisher Treasurer. Later, Tilda became Council President for the next
two years. She was the key player to all the volunteers, and new
promotional signage and identifying name tags.
Jim Fisher, an Idaho transplant, had seen successful fly fishing shows
in Eastern Idaho, and realized the need to build a vendor base to help
defray expenses. Jim became Expo Chairman in 2007, the year of the
move to Albany. He applied his professional background as a project
manager to the overseeing of the show. He is widely acknowledged
and admired for putting the Expo on a businesslike "straight and
narrow".
Dwight Klemin became seriously involved in the direction of the
Expo as it was moving to Albany, taking on duties as Chair of
Education. As a FFF Certified Casting Instructor he utilized the
expanded Albany facilities to include demonstration and instruction
for both single and double handed casting. He also worked to fill the
bright, open conference rooms on Fridays and Saturdays with
Federator instructors in tying, fishing and other associated angling
arts.
8 The Oregon Fly Fisher • Winter 2013
The Or e g o n Fly Fis h e r
Rich Youngers was the Tyer Chair in the first year of the Expo in
Albany, with Jim Ferguson as Assistant Chair. Jim, a retired teacher,
had been a tyer at the Expo since the 1980's, and eventually worked
into the position of Fly Tying Chair. His participation is a months
long commitment; it starts in the Fall, forwarding tyer invitations.
Through the Winter, he creates a demonstrator list. Nearing the
show, he finalizes the tyer schedule. And during the Expo, he assists
tyers, maintains a full floor of tyers, and provides hospitality services
for the participants.
The success of the Expo is due to the work of many hardworking
volunteers. Mark Riggins saw the vast and intimidating open
expanse of the new Albany arena, then used his survey and logistics
skills to plat out and settle tyer table and vendor booth territories.
Mary Ann Dozer blazed a trail with her electronics background to
digitize and format class location, and communications with
instructors. Current Oregon Council President, Sherry Steele, is cited
for her continuing work with the very important vendor base who
educate the fly fishing audience with the latest in angling technology,
while helping to defray expenses and raise funds for the Council.
Others, like , Marv Clemens, Chuck Cooney, Kim DeVries, Mike
Keithley, Carol LaBranche, Rick MacFarlene, Butch Minich, Ron
Reinback, and Dan Shimek, Garren Wood, are noted for giving
steadfast and anonymous service for a professional and smooth
running show. And all are in mutual admiration and appreciation to
Jan Fisher and Sue Gabler, for organizing the Tyer Reception, and
providing a wonderful finale to the Expo, the annual banquet.
The original Expo Founders looking at recent Expos, have a real level
of satisfaction in the growth and continuing positive influence of the
exposition. Greg Pitts offered that he never really learned to do "new
things" in tying at the Expo - He "just learned to do it better". Keith
Burkhart says that it is now understood that people attend to
experience the vast range of several hundred tyers and tying styles.
Skip Hosfield notes that when he was younger, fly tying was a craft
guarded and hidden by many practitioners. Now, he is astounded by
"the most positive people willing to come forward and volunteer".
He adds that he is further "astounded by the talent of young fly
tyers".
There is almost universal agreement on the founders favorite aspect
of attending: continuing and reinforcing old relationships. Gregs'
favorite part of the Expo is "seeing all my old friends". Skip seeks
out "seeing all the people I've know for years". And Keith enjoys
"seeing 25 years of friends".
The current crop of Expo drivers are proud of the accomplishments
of recent years. Jim Ferguson notes the increase of tyers from around
72 at the first event, to currently 72 tyer tables over 6 sessions.
Dwight Klemin enjoys the growth to a 2 day show. Another retired
teacher, Dwight highlights the expanding continuing education in
tying and casting, all at a high level. In addition to tying and casting,
efforts are made to represent all the angling arts. Special instruction
is now offered in all realms, and has expanded to the point that
special programs are now held before and after the actual Expo. Jim
Fisher calls the Expo a "great educational thing", feeding a "hunger
for good education". His favorite facet of the Expo is the "Awe
Factor"; seeing 72 tyers all at one time, all who could be called
"world class". Jim Ferguson, Fly Tying Chair, seeks out new and
better ways of handling materials. His favorite part of the show is
that even though he's been tying for over 57 years, he's never failed to
learn something new. Dwight enjoys the camaraderie of joining with
his fellow casting instructors, and enjoys seeing all the people he's
known over the years.
T h e O r e g o n Fly Fis h e r
The FouNders
Throughout the years, the many anonymous volunteers who have
helped put on the Expo have donated their time and travel, their
reward, the sharing of the love of the sport with the public. For all
the 25 years of the Expo the real stars of the show have been the
tyers, who travel some distance from all corners of the state and
beyond, donating their experience and passion for the craft. Their
demonstrations and the work of so many background volunteers are
what keep the Expo enduring, relevant and vibrant.
Keith
Burkhart
The original Founders and present stewards of the Expo all have
visions of how the Expo may evolve in the next 25 years. They see
the Expo growing with more participants, including nationally and
internationally celebrated tyers. They call for additional classes and
workshops for tying and casting, some raised to a master level. They
would welcome, and see the need for increased and more diverse
vendor participation. To allow all this, they foresee the possible
addition of another day to the program, and perhaps an eventual
move to larger quarters. Some see the need to formulate an outreach
to new, younger anglers. Whatever the future brings, they see that is
is time to pass it on to new generations with contemporary visions.
The Oregon Councils' Northwest Fly Tyer and Fly Fishing Expo has
recognized and honored angling pioneers by showing the public the
accomplishments and traditions of the sport. They are personified
with the naming of a Council Fly Tyer of the Year. The award is
now called the "Stan Walthers Memorial Fly Tyer of the Year",
another way of honoring one of the founders of the Expo Skip
Hosfield
The criteria for the award includes past feats and innovations, but
also an honorees efforts in teaching the art and craft to others. In a
larger sense, everyone who plans, assists, and ties at the Expo helps
to teach the next generation.
This years selection of the fly for the Expo commemorative pin and
logo is a good example of honoring Oregon fly fishing traditions.
The Spruce Fly is an older, native fly pattern that has evolved over
the years. Originally tied for Sea-Run Cutthroats, it became a
standard wet used throughout the West and beyond. It changed and
grew, and became a popular streamer used in waters around the
world. It has spawned many imitators and decendents, but the
original conception of colors, design and materials are still valuable
to anglers everywhere, and a source of pride for Oregonians.
The original conception of the Fly Tying Expo was a great idea to
recognize angling traditions while educating existing and future fly
fishers. The Oregon Councils' Fly Tyer and Fly Fishing Exposition
has seen its popularity and scope grow through the years. It
continues to be a welcome and valuable resource for Northwest tyers
and fishermen. To all those involved over the past 25 years, thanks
for your achievements and inspiration for the next 25 years.

MEDFORD REGIONAL WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY
OUTFALL ASSESSMENT STUDY
(This is an overview from John MacDiarmid. Please go to the Expo website
http://nwexpo to download the entire report)
OUTFALL STUDY - John MacDiarmid Feb 13, 2013
Most of the sewage in our valley is collected, and treated at a regional plan before it is discharged to the Rogue
River about a mile down from the Tou Velle Bridge. The flow to the plant in the summer is 17 million gallons
a day. Those of us that fish that stretch of the river have noticed the foamy discharge sometimes stretching to
High Banks 0.4 miles below the outfall. High Banks has an exposed gravel island in low water October and
Salmon spawn on both sides of the Island, it is a wonderful place to stop and swing the fly in the green water
below the salmon. Only the memory of yesterday's hook up in a down stream riffle will keep you in the
boat. Immediately upon stepping out of the boat at High Banks you notice a carpet of algae on the undisturbed
gravel and upstream of the riffle the river bottom is covered in long flowing aquatic plants all feed by the
nutrient rich outflow from the treatment plant. For several years it was understood the outfall was going to
come out of the river for some type of land disposal or reuse. The effluent was just too warm to meet the
temperature standards in the River set by DEQ. But then DEQ shuffled the standard and decided the discharge
could meet the temperature requirements in all but a few days of the year. The Regional Facility was given
permission to off set or trade this degradation by planting 30 miles of trees on the south bank of the river, up to
60 miles downstream of the discharge. The obvious problem with this "solution" is it does nothing for the
millions of Salmon eggs in the gravel downstream of the outfall. Warm water has them hatch out earlier than
normal with a reduced survival rate. BUT, that is a different issue for a different day. The important thing for
this study is, the discharge is now going to stay in the river and the tremendous algae growth and impacts to the
aquatic insect population will continue. There will be no removal of the discharge from the
river. We responded by raising $5400 to have Rick Hafele conduct a scientific study to measure some of the
outfall impacts. You can read more background, the study itself, and the latest action at our RFF web site. In
summary, the impacts are very significant and it confirms the discharge is in violation of the the Oregon
Biocriteria Standard and the NPDES permit. To solve the nutrient problem, it appears the outfall will have to
come out of the river or the treatment plant will have to go to a higher level of treatment. Both are costly and
will take time. Thanks to the action of your club, the process has started.
This study with its extensive lab work by two labs would not have been possible without the generous
support from the International Federation of Fly Fishers and the Oregon Council of the International
Federation of Fly Fishers. Together they contributed $3,000. We also received financial support from
the Southern Oregon Fly Fishers and the Klamath Country Casters. We could not have done this alone.
