MonthTopicSpeakerContent
FebruaryWashington WildernessMichael WilliamsMichael T Williamsʼ “Washington Wilderness” presentation is a captivating combination of remote country fly fishing coupled with backpacking and llama packing adventures. Michaels outstanding photography plus inspiring anecdotal narration make for an engaging and informative experience. Alpine lake fishing tips are included. Two of Washingtonʼs many Wilderness areas are featured: The Pasayten, 530,000 acres of North Cascades peaks, flower filled meadows, open slope highlands---and dozens of trout filled lakes. Pasayten Wilderness, 25 miles north of Winthrop, WA, borders British Columbia to the north, Ross Lake to the west. 600 miles of trail! Awesome fishing! Indian Heaven, 20,000 acres of huckleberries, beargrass and jewel-like lakes is located SW from Mt Adams in the Southern Cascades. Native Cultures have been coming to this magnificent area for at least 1,000 years.
MarchSmall Streams of the West Zach Sexton Zach Sexton is the host of Fish Whisperer TV. He worked for several fish and wildlife agencies while working his way through college and found a variety of fishing opportunities off the beaten track. Zach will be talking to the group about fishing small streams in the northwest, flies to use, techniques, and what you need to carry to have a successful day. In addition, Zach is an accomplished custom rod builder with a penchant for both bamboo and fiberglass and will be happy to share his experiences as time permits in the evening.
AprilSwap Meet and Skills TablesClub membersTBD
MayWaters of Whatcom County,& Smallmouth Bass Lake WhatcomScott Willison Northwest Washington near the Canadian border often gets overlooked among the many outstanding fisheries within the state, from the Yakima River and fertile trout stillwaters east of the Cascades to the productive sea run cutthroat beaches of southern Puget Sound. Scott Willison, owner of the Confluence Fly Shop in Bellingham will share some of his favorite lesser known fisheries in Whatcom, Skagit and Island Counties as well the Lower Mainland, BC. He'll discuss timing, tactics and patterns to catch big Lake Whatcom smallmouth bass, coho salmon, sea run cutthroat and the elusive sea run bull trout along the beaches of Whidbey Island and the shirt sleeve summer rainbow and bull trout fisheries within the Skagit system from Washington to British Columbia.
SeptemberTBDJim Teeny Jim Teeny is a northwest fly fishing icon that has been developing leading edge products for over 40 years. He is the developer of the Teeny Nymph fly pattern, which has been responsible for more than 30 IGFA world records and will catch just about anything that swims. In addition, he has developed his own hooks and purpose built fly lines, which have become the #1 sinking lines throughout the world today. Jim will be giving a fly tying demonstration on how to tie the Teeny Nymph before our meeting and talk to group about how fly fishing needs to be viewed as a system and how to apply that system to the waters of the northwest.
OctoberFish Need WaterTyler Allen I have developed a robust program called “Fish Need Water” that addresses fish handling and the ability to reduce post-catch mortality in our sport fisheries. We keep things fun, at the same time relying heavily on peer-reviewed science and our combined experience guiding, fishing, and living on the water. I outline ways to help keep sportfish populations strong and the reasons each of us should care. The information is just as valuable to harvest anglers as strictly C&R fisherpeople.
