Livingston Area Fly Fishing
By Matt Wilhelm, IFFF MCI, Owner of the Yellowstone Fly Fishing School
The Yellowstone River
W
hen the topic of fly fishing destinations comes up,
Livingston, Montana, is usually at or near the top of
the list. The reason being is that the area offers a
diverse range of fly fishing opportunities within an hour’s
drive. The Livingston area has spring creeks, small mountain
streams, larger freestone streams, lakes, and, of course, the
fabled waters of Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone River The Yellowstone is Livingston’s “Home
River.” The Yellowstone flows north toward Livingston where
it turns east on its journey to the Missouri River. IFFF Fair visitors who have limited time for fishing often find the
Yellowstone a great opportunity. Often overlooked by visitors
is the section of the river that flows through town, which
offers close proximity to the show hall, good access, and some
great fishing. By taking a 30-minute drive either upstream or
downstream from Livingston, visiting anglers will discover several developed access points (many with boat launches) that
offer walk wading and floating.
This is a great time of year for early risers; morning
nymph fishing and streamer fishing can be productive because
of cooler water temperatures. Terrestrial and attractor flies
with droppers often work well in the afternoon. Evening can
hold good fishing with caddis and mayfly patterns. Be sure to
check with one of the area fly shops regarding hot flies and
fishing conditions.
Paradise Valley Spring Creeks DePuy’s, Nelson’s, and
Armstrong’s spring creeks have a well-earned reputation for
wonderful fishing and beautiful scenery. Located within 20
minutes of Livingston, the spring creeks offer challenging fishing for rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout for a fee. These
spring creeks are often booked solid through the summer
months, so be sure to make a reservation through one of the
area fly shops. Pale morning duns, midges, small streamers,
midges, terrestrials and nymphs work well during this time of
4
year. Other
spring creeks
include Milesnick
MZ Ranch just
north of Bozeman.
They offer fishing
on Benhart and
Thompson’s spring
creeks for a fee.

Yellowstone National Park (YNP) The creeks and rivers
in the north and northeast area of Yellowstone National Park
fish very well in early August. Travel time ranges from one
hour to about two hours. Rivers and creeks to consider are
the Gardiner, Lamar, Soda Butte and Yellowstone.
The Gardiner around Mammoth is a good choice for
small stream angling. Browns, rainbows and an occasional
brookie will often rise to terrestrials and attractors. The Lamar
and its tributaries, Soda Butte Creek and Slough Creek, offer
good action for Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Terrestrials, attractors, nymphs and mayfly patterns work well. Access to both
streams is gained through several pullouts and parking areas.
Boulder River Less than an hour’s drive from Livingston
puts you on the banks of the Boulder, which flows into the
Yellowstone at Big Timber. The Boulder holds rainbows and
browns in its lower reaches. Farther upstream, rainbows and
Yellowstone cutthroats can be caught. Caddis imitations,
PMDs, stonefly nymphs, attractors and terrestrials work well
in August.
Gallatin River The Gallatin is a beautiful river with a ton
of access. Good fishing with attractors, caddis, stonefly
nymphs, terrestrials and spruce moth imitations work well.
Access is best between Spanish Creek and the Yellowstone
National Park boundary.

Entertainment by:
Grammy winner Rodney Crowell with full band
Downtown Livingston
Madison, Big Horn, Missouri and Henry’s Fork rivers
Anglers will have to spend more time behind the wheel to
wet a line in these excellent rivers. If possible, try to set aside
a few days for quality fishing time before or after the IFFF
Fair. The Missouri has excellent Trico and caddis hatches in
early August. The Bighorn will not disappoint with large,
strong rainbows and browns caught on nymphs, midges, terrestrials, streamers and caddis if water temperatures cooperate. The Madison fishes best above Ennis at this time of year.
Good access and good fishing with caddis larva, stonefly
nymphs, terrestrials, caddis adults and attractors keep people
coming back.
Hebgen and Quake lakes These two lakes are located near
West Yellowstone, and “gulper” fishing is in full swing in early
August. Tricos are followed by Callibaetis for excellent dry fly
fishing for large cruising browns and rainbows; a float tube,
boat or pontoon is suggested. Fishing is usually best early in
the morning (action heats up soon after sunrise) until about
lunchtime. Casting to cruising browns and rainbows in Quake
Lake with hoppers also provides good action. When the wind
comes up on Hebgen, take the short drive to Quake Lake for
some afternoon float tubing.
International Fly Fishing Film Festival
As Oregon fly fisher Frank Moore worked his way inland from
Normandy Beach, he saw salmon holding against the current in
streams running to the sea. Moore wanted to cast a fly over the
fish. But it was June 1944, and he was busy invading France.
Some 69 years later, Moore returned to Normandy, fly rod in
hand and camera crew following, in an attempt to catch salmon
where once men marched and tanks rumbled. The resulting film,
“Mending the Line,” will be shown Tuesday, August 5, as the feature presentation of the 2014 International Fly Fishing Film Festival
at the Dulcie Theater at the Shane Center in Livingston, Montana.
Doors open at 7 p.m., with the film screening at 7:30 p.m.
The International Fly Fishing Film Festival consists of two hours
of short and feature-length films produced by filmmakers from
around the world showcasing the passion, lifestyle and culture of
the sport. Films range in subject matter from trout in the Rocky
Mountains to chasing steelhead from Northern California to
Canada. Tickets are $15 in advance.
Crack Down on Deadbeat Dams
There are more than 75,000
dams in the United States, many
of which are obsolete, unsafe
and costing taxpayers millions
each year. “DamNation,” the first
feature-length documentary from
Patagonia, examines the U.S.
shift in attitude about big
dams. Attendees will get a
chance to see the film at the
IFFF Fair this year. Visit
www.DamNationfilm.com to learn
more about the film. The film will
be shown on Saturday, August 9,
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the
Dulcie Theater, 415 East Lewis St.,
Livingston. Tickets are $5 per person.

Armstrong’s Spring Creek
PHOTOS BY VERNE LEHMBERG
Anglers around the world know of Livingston’s famed spring creeks,
and we are delighted to again offer special spring creek workshops and
fishing opportunities.
DePuy’s Spring Creek and Armstrong’s Spring Creek will be the
centerpiece of our fishing activities as we have reserved both creeks in
their entirety. DePuy’s is the longest of the spring creeks; Armstrong’s,
although shorter, is restricted to fewer anglers. Both have crystal-clear
waters and a variety of fishing situations. As privately owned creeks,
access is strictly limited.
By renting the entire creek, we are able to schedule a variety of
workshops and some open fishing. Wednesday we will have the women’s
program on DePuy’s in the afternoon. The morning may include other
workshops plus some limited amount of individual fishing. Thursday is
Armstrong’s creek day with morning classes by Jamie Anderson and
Bud Frasca. Thursday afternoon classes will be led by Rhea Topping
and George Anderson. Friday we will be back to DePuy’s with an all-day
workshop led by Charles Jardine. In addition, there will be a morning
workshop by Bud Frasca and an afternoon workshop by Brandt Oswald.
Wednesday and Friday evenings are open fishing on DePuy’s Spring
Creek; 16 anglers will be allowed to register to fish the creek on their own
from 6 p.m. until dark. Evening is a perfect time to fish the PMD spinner fall!
Thursday evening we will feature Armstrong’s Spring Creek; 12
anglers will be allowed to register to fish the creek on their own from
6 p.m. until dark.
All of these evening fishing slots will be open on a first-come basis
with advance registration required. Wait list spots will be available after the
initial spots are filled. Be sure your registration includes on-site contact
information so we can reach you if a wait list spot becomes available.
See workshop 100 for DePuy’s Wednesday evening, workshop 101 for
Armstrong’s Thursday evening and workshop 102 for DePuy’s Friday
evening. The fee is $25 per person for each session. These are sure to be
very popular offerings, so register early!

Flies for fishing DePuy’s are available at
the local fly shops, if you need them.
Montana’s weather can be unpredictable, so please be prepared. Bring
wading shoes, wading staff, fishing hat,
polarized sunglasses, rain gear, sunscreen,
insect repellent, water and camera. Full

session on How to Fish a Spring Creek.
We will be the only group fishing
DePuy’s Spring Creek on this afternoon

By Herb Kettler
nce again this year the IFFF is offering a fabulous lineup of workshops designed to appeal to a broad range of interests and skill
levels, including some outstanding on-water workshops with new
instructors. We couldn’t pull it off without the help of the many volunteers
who teach them. Among the 90+ workshops being offered, there is
something for everyone. In response to the great reception for the spring
creek program, we will again have classes on DePuy’s and Armstrong’s
spring creeks with local and national experts on spring creek fishing.
Instructors for this program include George and Jamie Anderson, Brandt
Oswald, Rhea Topping and Charles Jardine. There are a number of
other on-water workshops on local waters including a float tubing class
with Charles Jardine. Plus, Bob Jacklin will be coming up from West
Yellowstone to do one of his much-desired Fish With Bob days on the
Lower Gallatin.
We would also like to announce our inaugural intermediate and
advanced fly fishing school. This is a unique, two-day workshop with
substantial time on the water with some great local guides, including
Bob Krumm and Frank Johnson. The class will provide all of the students
with an opportunity to really fine-tune their fly fishing skills and knowledge. We look forward to making this workshop and similar workshops
a part of our regular offering in future years.
There is also a great lineup of other programs. Art Mazzier will be
delivering his always-popular entomology workshop for the first time in
several years. In addition, you will have another opportunity to take the
Fly Plate class that was a big hit two years ago. Finally, we are offering a
photography class presented by none other than Charles Jardine. The
opportunities are endless!
Casting again leads the show with 37 casting workshops. We can’t
imagine anywhere else in the world where you have access to so many
outstanding fly casting instructors over a five-day period. What an opportunity to take your casting to the next level! There are so many fine workshops that it would take several pages to do the program justice. Thanks
to the Casting Board of Governors for a great set of workshops!
This year’s tying program is more extensive than it has been in
recent years. The big news is the return of Wayne Luallen and his thread
control class. If you haven’t taken it, do so! Scott Sanchez, Frank Johnson,
Henry Hoffman and Todd Collins are all offering workshops again this
year. Topics include soft hackle flies, CDC flies and Andy Puyans patterns
(with Chip Paham).
Finally, check out the non-angling workshops. There are many fine
workshops that give one the opportunity to explore the Livingston area,
learn about local issues, or explore a craft. (The picnic with Bob Krumm
and his wife really caught my eye.)
Look through the workshop listings carefully to make sure you don’t
miss any of these wonderful opportunities.
This year, the bulk of the workshops are scheduled to coincide with
the Wednesday through Saturday period when the IFFF Fair has its highest attendance. Some workshops have both an indoor and an outdoor
component, and most casting workshops will be held in or near the Park
High School facility that is home base for all programs and workshops.
Some workshops start from a local fly shop, and many on-stream workshop attendees are requested to meet at the registration desk or on the
water. Check your registration packet for additional information.
All of the DePuy’s and Armstrong’s workshops require a special park-
O
8
ing permit and a badge. The registration desk will be at the high school
from Tuesday through Saturday. The workshop schedule and registration
forms are posted on the fair webpage at www.fedflyfishers.org. The schedule will be updated periodically.
Special Workshop Instructions
Each program and workshop has particular equipment requirements and
considerations, so read the descriptions carefully. Participants will be
required to sign a hold harmless agreement for all on-the-water workshops. In addition, please note the following:
Fly Casting Workshops
Bring your rod and reel of choice appropriate for the workshop. Most
casting workshops are held at least partly outdoors, so be prepared with
sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat. Brief thundershowers are possible in the
afternoon, so consider carrying a raincoat.
Fly Tying Workshops
Skills required for each workshop are given in the description. Please honor
these requirements and, if you have limited tying experience, register for
classes with no designated skill requirement. If in doubt, check with the
instructor or registrar. Students should bring a vise, thread, scissors, bobbin,
bodkin, hackle pliers, bobbin threader and head cement to all tying workshops in addition to any specific items or tools specified in the class description. A materials fee will be collected prior to the course and used by the
instructor to purchase specific materials for the completion of the
flies.Classrooms have excellent overhead lighting; however, many students
have found it helpful to bring their own personal tying lamps and an extension cord (longer than12 feet). Note that two of the tying programs combine
a tying and on-stream program, requiring fishing gear as well as tying gear.
Streamside and Float Fishing Clinics
Fly selection, reading water, casting, and proper landing-and-release
techniques are among the topics addressed in these workshops.
Participants will carpool to fishing sites. A deli lunch is provided for fullday workshops only. Some of the onstream classes this year have a materials charge, which is required to be paid in advance of the clinic.
Students must provide waders, appropriate fly rod and reel, and flies and
typical streamside gear. Each student is also required to purchase a
Montana fishing license prior to the clinic for all on-water workshops. As
with other outdoor workshops, come prepared with sunglasses, sunscreen
and a hat. Brief thundershowers are possible, so consider bringing a raincoat. A Coast Guard-approved life preserver is strongly recommended for
on-stream float fishing workshops.
All persons participating in on-stream workshops where fishing
or casting flies to fish is involved are required to obtain the appropriate state license and/or National Park Service permits prior to
the workshop.
Herb Kettler has not missed an IFFF Fair in 18 years and is in his 11th year as Fly Fishing
Fair Workshop chair. He is also IFFF national secretary. Now retired from a 35-year
career in international engineering, he loves fishing in Montana and Wyoming,
is a certified casting instructor, and builds 18th century American furniture.

TYING
33. Exploring Thread Control – Wayne Luallen.
The primary purpose of this workshop is to stimulate
•
fly tying curiosity and to open the student’s mind to
new ideas with an end result of a superior fly in both
function and appearance. Emphasis will not be on fly
pattern but rather on understanding “how” and
“why.” The result of the knowledge gained will introduce new freedom toward allowing one’s materials
to work for them rather than forcing those materials
to what may be unnatural to them. Ways will be discovered to control the application of thread previously not considered. Since all materials and applications cannot be covered, the intent is for each student to leave with the desire and skills to be able to
comfortably explore the nature and application of
their materials as never before. Equipment: This is
not a class for new fly tiers. It is assumed that the
student is very comfortable with general tying skills
and terminology. All tying materials, including
thread, will be supplied; students must bring their
own tying tools including vise, bobbin holder(s),
hackle pliers (2 pairs), scissors, hair stacker, light,
bodkin (clean), etc.

full days of fly fishing instruction during this unique
opportunity to further develop your fly fishing skills
and knowledge. Topics include casting, knots, what
trout eat, strategy and techniques as well as 1½
days of on-water instruction and fishing adventure.
The instructors are committed to ensuring that this
will be a growth experience for each participant.
One instructor for every three students ensures that
we achieve this goal. You will increase your fly fishing bag of tricks, become better anglers, and have
the opportunity to catch more fish in the process –
and don’t forget, having fun, as well. The group will
be fishing private water as well as the famous
Yellowstone River. Equipment: Open to all intermediate skill level fly anglers including men, women and
youth 14 and older. Prerequisites: Students must
have a basic knowledge of fly casting and fly fishing
and must provide their own fishing tackle, miscellaneous gear, flies, waders and sunglasses. Each
morning, please bring everything you need for the
day – there will be no opportunity to return to your
place of lodging. Attendees must possess a valid
Montana fishing license, and will be required to sign
a waiver of liability form prior to participating. Sack
lunches and water will be provided each day, (bring
any extra drinks you would like). The on-stream
instructors will have coolers for lunches and beverages. For travel to and from the fishing locations,
instructors ask that those who have cars be willing
to use them and carpool as necessary. (None of the
travel will be more than 20 to 30 minutes.) Evening
ending times will be open each day in order that
participants will not be rushed away from the fish.

Willy George. Are you “casting to the 10-foot
trout?” Do you suffer from the “second-to-the-last
cast syndrome?” Have you ever done a “3 dollar
cast?” Do you possess a “mischievous line hand?”
Based on the instructor’s experiences teaching thousands of casting students, this class will show you
the most common mistakes of beginning and intermediate casters (they’re different!) and how to correct them. By identifying some of these frequently
occurring casting faults in your own casts or learning to avoid them in the first place, students will
“fast forward” their casting progress. Equipment:
Students should bring their favorite 5- to 7-weight
fly rod and matching floating fly line (WF or DT) with

There is something for everyone at the International Fly Fishing Fair!
Welcome Reception
Prior to the International Fly Fishing Film Festival movie screening (see
page 5), there will be a Welcome Reception in the ballroom of the
Shane Center. Everyone is welcome to attend the reception, which will
be held from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.; there is no charge to attend. If you
purchase a ticket for the film festival, the theater is a short walk from the
reception area.
Auctions & Raffles
Come to Livingston and join in our great silent auctions, raffles and fantastic live auction. Dates for the silent auctions and raffles coincide with our
show hall hours August 7-9, and the live auction will be held at Music
Ranch Montana Friday, August 8, and will be great fun. Come check out
the contra-dancers and kick up your heels while supporting the major
fundraiser for the year.
Expect to find fly fishing trips, great-looking fly plates, a huge selection of flies in fly boxes, rods, reels, DVDs, books, fly tying materials and
tools, framed prints, artwork, plus many more fly fishing-related items.
We will also have a variety of non-fly fishing related items, as well. If
you would like to donate something for this fundraiser, please contact
the IFFF office.
Casting Extravaganza
By Steve Hollensed, Casting Chair
Fly casting is a funny thing. It is one, if not the most essential, skill in fly
fishing. Yet it is one of the most overlooked skills, as well.
For anyone wanting to change that and improve their fly casting skills,
the upcoming 2014 IFFF Fly Fishing Fair is a “World Class” opportunity to
learn fly casting from the start or to take their casting to the next level.
In fact, there is truly something for everyone: the novice who wants
to learn “the right way” with an accelerated learning curve, and the
intermediate and advanced casters who want to take their casting to the
next level. For those who want to increase distance, improve accuracy,
learn how to handle the wind better, learn to double haul, or just
improve the quality of your loops, we have specific workshops for you.
We will have workshops that will prepare you for saltwater, warmwater
and coldwater fly fishing. We have workshops that will teach Spey casting – both single-hand and two-hand workshops. For those who like
competition, we have games offering some really nice prizes. For those
who want to become certified instructors, we have test preparation workshops. For certified instructors we have a diverse collection of continuing
education workshops.
This is the year to become a better caster. One reason is that this
year’s fair will have one of the largest assemblages of world-class casting
instructors found anywhere, anytime. All instructors are certified, two-handed
instructors, master casting instructors or members of the IFFF Casting Board
of Governors. We will have instructors traveling from the United Kingdom,
Ireland, Australia, Canada, and from all across the United States.
Another reason that this is the year to become a better caster is our
venue. Livingston offers great places to cast in abundance – all close
and in one location. You can take many workshops and not worry about
the logistics between workshops.
I would also like to call your attention to several casting activities
that you won’t want to miss. First, we will have casting demonstrations running each day; they will be informative, entertaining and FREE! Second,
we have secured great prizes for the 5-Weight games. If you would like a
chance to win nice rods and reels (and who doesn’t) make sure to sign
up for the games. Also FREE! And third, the casting Rendezvous is a great
place for students, casting geeks, and instructors to talk “all things fly
casting.” This too is FREE! New this year: Join IFFF two-handed casting
instructors for a walk-in clinic to help fix, diagnose and repair what ails
your two-handed fly casting. The Doctor’s Office – the Spey Doctor – is
open to all Spey casters looking to improve their technique. This will be
open Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the Yellowstone River
near the Exhibit Hall. Also, you guessed it, FREE!
Additionally, the IFFF Casting Board of Governors, the governing
body of the Casting Instructor Certification Program (CICP), will be meeting at the fair. Board members will be available for anyone who would
like to know more about the CICP.
Become a better caster this year. You will never find a better
opportunity than the 2014 IFFF Fair. It is truly a world-class opportunity.
I hope to see you there.
Exhibit Hall
By Sherry Steele, Exhibitor Chair
Opportunity awaits exhibitors and fair attendees where fly fishing
retailers, artists, travel services and other companies that cater to the fly
fishing lifestyle will be offering exhibits and sales of their products and
services. Mingled in with our exhibitors are world-class fly tiers, lending
their expertise on tying techniques. Included in the hall will be 48 exhibit
spaces that are a must-see. Park High School provides a perfect place to
see, and try out, that new rod and reel that you may need to catch (and
release) that next big fish.
Advance registration includes your pass into the exhibit hall; and
don’t worry if you haven’t registered ahead of time – you can get in
with a day pass that will be sold on-site. Day passes are $10 per person
or $15 for a family.
If you would like to be an exhibitor, sign up early as registration is
on a first-come, first-served basis. Questions? Contact Jessica Atherton
at the IFFF office by e-mailing [email protected] or by phone at
406-222-9369. Sherry Steele, the exhibitor chairperson, can be contacted by e-mailing [email protected] or by phone at 541-549-2072.

Our goal is to make sure you get great and professional service before
and during the entire fair.
Learn from the World’s Best Fly Tiers
By Gene Kaczmarek, Standing Fly Tying Chair
Are you coming to this year’s Fly Fishing Fair? If not, you’ll miss a great
show. The list of fly tiers is just incredible. Not only will some of the best
in the United States be there, but an array of international tiers will be
demonstrating their skills. This is your chance to learn from some of the
best tiers in the world!
We have classes from Michael Meyers on how to tie effective
Yellowstone Country Flies. Then there’s the ever-popular Todd Collins
and his George Grant Hair Hackle Flies. From across the big pond to
the east we have Phil Geneix from Palladuc, France, showing you how
the French use CDC, and you may want to also check out Frank
Johnson’s class, “Tying with CDC.” Again, we are pleased to have
Wayne Luallen present his “Thread Control” class; you won’t want to
miss it. Henry Hoffman will be there with a class on “New tools for
tying,” plus Dutch Baughman is offering a class on Spey and Dee Flies.
For those interested in the saltwater style of flies, Stephen Johnson will
be teaching Enrico Puglisi Style Flies. Tom Logan will be teaching
“Historic Wet Patterns for Modern Warmwater Applications” and presenting a program on “Laws Pertaining to Possession and Transportation
of Natural Fly Tying Materials.”
The FTG has prepared “Minimum Skills Recommended for Students
of Intermediate Fly Tying Classes” and the description can be found on
the FTG website, the Fly Fair website, or in an upcoming E-News. This
document is intended to assist you with learning the most from classes.
And by popular demand, we are also bringing back the Fly Tying Video
Theater. As you can see, this year will be another star studded and fun
event with more than 100 of the best demonstrations and tiers anywhere.
Win Fame and Prizes in the Photo Contest
By Pat Oglesby, Fair Photographer and Photo Contest Chair
You still have time to get your camera out and take photos for submission
in the International Fly Fishing Fair Photo Contest. First-place winners in
each of the seven categories will receive a ribbon, a Scientific Anglers fly
line of their choice and an opportunity for their photo to be used in international advertising by Scientific Anglers. Winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd places)
in each of the categories will be announced in the Autumn 2014/Winter
2015 issue of Flyfisher, and the first-place photos will be published. Entries
can either be mailed to the Livingston, Montana, office or delivered to the
Fly Fishing Fair. For detailed information regarding contest rules and
instructions for submitting an entry, go to www.fedflyfishers.org, choose the
Fly Fishing Fair tab and select Photo Contest from the drop-down menu.
We hope to see your photos on display at the contest in Livingston,
Montana, this September!

Fly Fishing Museum
The headquarters of the International Federation of Fly Fishers currently
houses the federation’s collection of fly fishing objects, art, and books.
As an integral part of the federation, the collection and library represent
the culture and history of fly fishing and the environmental and public
policy issues affecting the sport. Thus, the collection supports the IFFF
mission of “conserving, restoring, educating through fly fishing.”
The majority of items are on display on walls and in cabinets. We have
a large collection of Buz Buszek Award winners’ fly plates, antique rods,
antique fly books, M.C. Simon watercolors, and much more. We have
cataloged the entire collection and will be developing exhibits in the
near future. Please visit the IFFF Museum while you are at the fair! For photos, video and more information about the museum, go to
www.fedflyfishers.org/Resources/MuseumCollection.aspx.
