<br />
To bad we have lost a cool water refuge in July, August, September that could ultimately help steelhead in neighboring creeks that need a cool place, such as the steelhead from Fifteen Mile Creek. The efforts going into bringing salmon back above Pelton Dam is doing more harm then good. Just my opinion .<br />

The Sheriff was great and advocated keeping open. Vowing to respond to any legal issues. The local ranchers were great (they like to fish too). The judge was understanding. State Park agreed to work with Sherman County to plan a legal boat ramp. There was zero input from the other side. No one spoke in favor of closing the county road to the public river. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yesterday was a victory, but a process is ahead to make sure everything stays on course.</span></span></span><br />

If you are passionate about recreation and public land opportunities, you must be informed of what is happening right now on the John Day River. A locked gate has been implemented at an important access point to launch a boat, or take a boat out, on the lower John Day River, managed by the BLM. This is unacceptable and we need your support to not lose this critical and strategic access point. This locked gate takes away the ability to do a day trip in the lower river. It takes away public access and guiding opportunity. Having negative economical effects, on local, rural communities. I have been guiding this stretch of rivers for over 10 years and have regular clients that have grown to love and expect this particular float. In fact, I have trips booked for Friday and Saturday on this now, suddenly, closed section of river. What am I to do? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The Sherman County court is having a special meeting regarding the issue. Please attend or call in your grievance. Please ask them not to close this public boat ramp!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The Section 401 Certification sets out water quality requirements agreed to by PGE during the dam licensing process and embodied in a document titled “Water Quality Management and Monitoring Plan” (WQMMP). The Section 401 Certification is a required component of the Pelton-Round Butte Complex’s operating license (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission License No. 2030).</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">PGE’s own water quality reports provide evidence of violations of temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH requirements at the Pelton-Round Butte Hydroelectric Project. The DRA has catalogued over 1,200 specific violations of the 401 Certification that have occurred since operations began at the Selective Water Withdrawal (SWW) Tower at Round Butte Dam on December 31, 2009.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: center;">I</span><b style="text-align: center;">s the choose to be jack of all rivers and master of none or
to truly master a river.</b><span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I choose to
have complete confidence in each day, based on thorough knowledge of my
surroundings. Conditions are everything, on the west slope of the Cascades
Mountains they change each day. So many rivers within a day drive and I have no desire to explore new haunts. The goal, for me, is to know every water level, each rock, and the subtle changes to the greatest extent. For the entire winter I am faithful to one river. This bleeds confidence and this assurance hemorrhages success.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are my secrets to success.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When
the river is high and has good clarity you should be there, as the fish will be
holding in prime lies. Often in 2-5 of water right in the middle of your swing!
Low, cold, and clear river and the fish like 10-20 feet of water. This is when
you need to focus on the deep seams and get down.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Early in the morning, late in the day, and especially in
periods of high flows the tactic or temptation of fishing heavy sink tips and
weighted flies is completely detrimental to success on my chosen waterway.
Fishing a tight line through soft flows in 4 to 5 feet of water with
un-weighted fly and light sink-tips compensates for most of the steelhead
landed throughout a season. Put on ten feet of t-14 and a weighted fly results
in being hung so bad right out in the sweet spot that you almost pull the earth
off axis trying to free it up, usually breaking it off, with the whole ordeal
spooking any fish in the area.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Take the opportunity during those low flows to learn the
river. Often the best fishing is at higher flows and the chance to learn rocks,
depressions or drop offs, and subtle channels are right under or behind you as
you fish these lows flows. Take note. It’s important for next week when the
river doubles in size and you can recall what features exist in that soft run.
Low and clear is also the queue to fish deep. Time to get down.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Some simple points for winter steelhead
success:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Start short and high in the run. Especially in
water you cannot see into. Too many people walk out into the top of a run and
strip out the head plus 10 feet of running line and completely miss those
chrome creatures tucked into the head of the run and laying 5 feet in front of
you.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Be consistent and turn over your casts. A
predictable fly on the swing gets crushed. I believe the cast that gets the
fish to eat is not the cast that created this chance. I believe your last 5
casts are the reason that fish ate! The steelhead saw the pattern of your
swings and this primed this critters attitude. When you get that hard grab it
is because this fish anticipated the swing. It knew where it would land, how
fast the swing would be, and the predictability of it all contributed to the
fish knowing it was going to be able to crush your fly! Fish through a run
erratically and it is tough to convince the fish to grab let alone hang around.
It is much more important to fish at a shorter distance unswervingly than huck
out bomber casts that result in Helter Skelter crazy swings.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Sharp hooks stick fish. Keep them sticky. Touch
a rock? Check your hook. Dull hook? Change or sharpen. It’s a sin to fish so
hard all day and finally after all that dedication get grabbed only to come up
empty because of a super dull hook that has been ticking bottom on each hang
down. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Fish hard and fish long. One fish in a day will
make it a great day. It only takes one cast to get it done. It could be your
first or last cast. Keep positive knowing each one could be the one. If you
think your not going to catch a winter steelhead, you likely wont. If you think
you are going to catch one you likely will!<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">With
the bird season in full swing, it's not to late to have your gun tuned and dream about chukar flying over head and harvesting a couple. Chukars are fast flyer's. The straighter you shoot
the more success you will have. A gun that mounts properly and fits your swing will increase your success in the field. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My first gun was a classic
semi-auto Remington 1100, 12 gauge in the late 90's. Purchased for $200.00, it was indestructible
and a great first gun but eventually the weight and length became cumbersome. I
needed a smaller gun. My next purchase
was a kids, Benelli, Nova, 20 gauge. When I purchased the Nova, I was told to place
the butt of the gun on the crook of my elbow and see if the first knuckle of my
trigger finger wrapped around the trigger. Then the gun fit. That was it; I didn’t realize there were other
factors involved in helping me shoot straighter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">A few years ago, I picked up a Hugo CZ, 20 gauge for $400.00. This gun could take a beating on rim rock, basalt hills but I was missing more
chukar then I wanted to. I started looking into a professional gun fitting. I
wanted to be a better shooter. I could hit clay pigeons but chukar were giving me a fit. </span></div>

years. A true craftsmen and gunsmith, he also has years of experience fitting
guns. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you’re buying a gun from a store, shooters usually don’t
have an opportunity to choose stock configuration. Because there is no
standardization for action size with gun manufactures. “Every gun manufacture has a unique size,
shape and weight of action. You can’t be fit for one type of gun and think that
will be the fit for all guns. Once you
have been fitted by a competent fitter you have a starting point to be fitted
for different types of action guns.” explains Dennis. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Dennis used two methods to
determine the fit of my gun. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He wanted to see if where I was
shooting was where I was looking. “Shooting is an extension of the hand and eye
coordination. Not something you force and
make happen.” speaks Dennis. Having a
gun fit, will help with accuracy and critical for becoming a better
wingshooter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Method 1: Verify that the gun is unloaded. With the gun held
in a ready position, pick out a target on a wall, focus on it; close your eyes,
mount the shotgun as if you where shooting and reopen your eyes. You should be
centered on the target. Your gun should come to the cheek first and then
contact to the shoulder. Your dominant eye should be looking down the barrel
and you should be squarely on the target every time. Do this several times. If
the gun fits you, it will come almost effortlessly to the same position every
time as you repeat the process. If the gun is off line or hangs up as you
repeat the mount, the stock needs work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Method 2: Testing eye position tells the fitter if you need
cast on or cast off and drop of the comb.
“T</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">he terms<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>'cast-off'</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>'cast-on'</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>are used to describe stock
configuration. They refer to the deviation of the butt away from the center
line of the gun. A gun with no cast is straight. A line down the center of the
barrel will continue straight down the center of the butt stock. With cast-off,
the center of the butt is moved in the direction of the shoulder of the
shooter. The opposite is true of cast-on, the butt deviating toward the center
of the shooter's chest. Either cast-off or cast-on are commonly built into
guns. The purpose of both is simply to make it easier to align the eye with the
sights.” Bob Spencer, the Fit of a Gun<span class="apple-converted-space"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

as you aim at their nose. They should see that your dominant eye should be at
rib level and not off to one side or the other. If they cannot see the pupil of
your eye because your eye is to the left of center, this is cast on. If your
pupil is to the right of center, it is cast off. If you eye is below the rib,
the comb of the stock is too low. If they see the pupil well above the rib, it
is very likely that the stock needs more drop at the comb.” </span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Most guns on the
shelf have a standard size that fit the average person but everyone has a
different physical shape and will benefit from getting your gun fit. A
professional gun fitting by an experienced fitter is like a shooting lesson.
You will learn a lot about your style and how you shoot. Fitting a gun by a
traditional fitter can cost from $300 to $1000 and modifications of the stock
are generally additional charges. Because I went to a professional stock
builder, Dennis didn’t charge for the fitting.
To have the stock modified was about $250.00. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: -webkit-center;">Cancer is a disease that can't be ignored. Casting for Recovery is a non profit that provides hope, at no cost retreat to participants, which allow women whose lives have been profoundly affected by breast cancer to gather in a beautiful, natural setting and learn to fly fish. The retreats incorporate counseling, educational services and the sport of fly fishing to promote mental and physical healing. </span>CFR<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: -webkit-center;"> currently has 45 retreats in 35 states scheduled for 2011.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: -webkit-center;">Volunteers share their love of the sport by teaching participants casting, tie the basic knots and all about the bugs . . . “What Fish Eat”. They attend a medical session to learn about and share the latest medical treatments available. Participants also attend an evening gathering to share their emotions and feelings about breast cancer with an experienced Psychosocial Facilitator. On the last day of the retreat, the women are in the water practicing catch and release fishing assisted by CFR staff and men and women “riverhelpers” from local fly fishing clubs. Many of the participants have never picked up a rod in their life but go on to become active in the sport or become volunteers for the Casting for Recovery program.</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As an angler and bird hunter, I cherish opportunities to explore wide open
spaces and float Oregon’s beautiful rivers. Sometimes
these places are hard to access. I am constantly looking at maps, using my GPS
to navigate the polygons of private and public ownership, this is also the
fun of exploring my backyard. Some places, wouldn't be accessible
without Land and Water Conservation Funding. Until a couple years ago, I
didn't know what LWCF was and why it was so important to fish and wildlife and
public access. This critical fund is due to expire. Read on, to find out more and why <a href="http://fishpondusa.com/">Fishpond Founder, Johnny Le Coq</a> supports <a href="http://lwcf./">LWCF.</a> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) was established in 1965 as a
bipartisan commitment to a simple idea: Invest <b>a small portion of
federal offshore drilling fees towards protecting important land, water, and
recreation areas</b> for all Americans to support the outdoor
economy. Since its inception, the fund has been used to invest over
$16 billion in conservation and outdoor recreation, including the establishment
of new public fishing areas, new corridors into previously inaccessible public
lands, conservation easements and the acquisition of new public land parcels
for the benefit of fish, wildlife, and the sporting public. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

can Washington or our State governments pave the necessary path for a
sustainable future. We need to create private/public partnerships
that leverage the strengths of each. From businesses like Fishpond,
to private landowners who are willing to place their farmland or ranchland into
conservation easements, we need to find the valuable synergies to help educate
and tell the story of how our land, rivers and public places are the link to a
vital economic future and a quality of life. The Outdoor Recreation Industry, a
vast group of thousands of companies, must equally participate in raising the
additional and critically important funds to augment the current conservation
funding by the Federal and State governments. The Outdoor Recreation Industry
must help lead the push for the full funding of LWCF, but they can’t stop
there. It is the responsibility of these American businesses to use
the power of their consumer reach to raise additional funds to augment the
shortfall of the hundreds of millions of dollars in conservation needs. Government
and taxes alone will not be enough to get us through our environmental
challenges, and it will be important for companies like Fishpond to creatively
join forces with government and non-profit groups to collaboratively reach our

On Friday, September 4, the ODFW Commissioners will be voting on a large package of angling rule changes created to “simplify” the Oregon fishing regulations.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #3c3d47; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5714285714em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the rule changes calls for opening up kill on redband trout in the lower Deschutes River. Presently, there is a “slot limit” that only allows the take of 2 redband trout between 10 and 13 inches of length per day. The new rule would allow the taking of any 2 redband trout over 8 inches per day.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #3c3d47; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5714285714em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Our position at the DRA is that if the Commission wishes to simplify the angling rules, the easiest thing would be to do away with any kill of redband trout on the lower Deschutes by making it a catch and release fishery with the required use of barbless hooks. Now that would be simple! Easy to understand, no measuring of fish would be necessary, and it would be easily enforceable. Anything short of this deserves a deferral on decision-making to allow the public to provide input on rule changes.</div>

A Statement of Political Position, <span style="color: #3c3d47; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22px;">From The Fly Fishing Shop:</span></div>

Dear Deschutes River Allies,<br />
Unfortunately, the rumor is true. A proposal has been made to provide harvest options for larger trout on the lower 100-miles of the Deschutes River. The slot-limit (2-trout between 10”-13”), which has been in place since 1979 is proposed to be replaced with a 2-trout limit (minimum size of 8”). I believe the slot-limit has provided the finest public fishery in Oregon and should be retained.<br />
As of this writing,there is nothing about this proposal on the ODFW web site.<br />
I had to search the ODFW Commission site to find this proposal (which I understand has also been removed). This smacks of a cover-up.<br />
The lower Deschutes is one of the few fisheries that is managed to sustain itself indefinitely. And it supports tremendous fishing pressure, which pours cubic bucks into the communities around it. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Depleting the numbers of larger trout in this proud fishery can benefit no one.<br />
I seriously believe that one of the reasons why Oregon’s State Fishery agency is always broke, is that it sells our resources too cheap.<br />
We don’t need more harvest to make money.We need better fisheries to bring people from other states.The Deschutes River is the best sports fishery money mill we have.<br />
ODFW’s mandate is to protect wild fish and to provide fishing opportunity. The problem is that ODFW Staff has interpreted the word opportunity to mean harvest. They seem to never realize that once a fish is harvested, the opportunity is gone. The slot-limit bridges this gap. The Commission might consider that they may already be doing the best job that can be done here. But, if they need easier rules for dummies to understand, make it strictly catch and release.<br />
The meeting where the decision will be made is on September 4 in of all places Seaside, Oregon (on Labor Day week). The page that just went missing also states that no one will be allowed to testify unless they register 24-hours in advance.<br />
I think that this lack of disclosure and the decisions being made in Seaside is a plan to railroad these proposed changes away from the ease of public participation.<br />
It is an old Bureaucratic trick to push through rules that the majority of their constituents would not agree with.<br />
Doubtful that this bunch of Staff and Commissioners would have the fortitude to hold this same meeting in Maupin, Madras, Bend, Portland, or Welches.<br />
As a matter of fact, I think that these cats have already made the decision.<br />
All that is left is the ratification at a public meeting.<br />
However, I am also a believer that democracy works as long as the citizens are willing to make their government govern by the will of the people.<br />
Whatever the road blocks, we simply have to overcome them, and be a government of the people, by the people, for the people.<br />
We can’t let these perpetrators steel all the hard work that has been put into the Deschutes fishery.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-top: 6px;">
If the proposed regulation is allowed to go through, they’ve got it for a year, by that time they will probably do ten year’s-worth of damage for someone to repair.<br />
And who but the professionals to better do the repair?<br />
I can feel some bastard writing an order for funding, as I am writing this.<br />
My suspicions may be a little intense, but I feel they are well thought out.<br />
The decision to remove the slot-limit is a bad move biologically, and it is even worse since it has been done with a limited amount of public disclosure (which may be illegal as well).<br />
This whole approach is wrong for the Deschutes, which is beyond a doubt the best fishery in Oregon. The best part of the slot-limit is it was done by the will of the people, and by nearly unanimous consent of those people (I know, because I was involved).<br />
I just talked to an ODFW insider, and that person basically told me that some of the staff is strongly opposed to this regulation change, but they were told to shut up in fear of retaliation.<br />
I think it is imperative that we get mobilized to meet these issues head on.<br />
In this case our government has apparently run totally amuck, and we must initiate a public investigation.<br />
Ad your thoughts and pass this on to your own circle of power.<br />
Thank you for your support in this matter.<br />
Fish long & prosper,<br />

Deschutes trout is your latest victim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have to be kidding me. Right? The absurdity that I even have to write this letter just drives me nuts. Correct me where I have missed something here? You would like to make the rules more simple and therefore think a blanket regulation on waters would simplify things? I think it would be simple to cut your staff to zero and get a competent agency to take your place. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
I guess you felt left out in the piling on that agencies have contributed to in their bad management decisions around here. I mean the dam has the tower they are trying to kill fish, bugs, and small town economy with the excuse to save salmon. The tribes have their man given right to kill half the salmon and, oops, most all the steelhead accidently, with their <u>traditional</u> harvests methods using motorboats and modern gill nets. The BLM wants to charge you to float and has limited the “entry”lock down so the local kids, tourist, guides, and even you can’t even go out on the river without at least wasting your precious midnight sleep, getting denied by a machine, to get a segment 4 boaters pass. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
So, That’s cool. Lets change the rules to kill wild Deschutes trout. KILL THEM ALL! Why don’t we just nuke them? It would at least be faster. The local communities would move away or die too. Seems like the BLM would be interested in collaborating. Dam too! Brilliant. The more I think about it, the more I see the light: we, the people who care, are the enemy. We want clean cold water, healthy fish, happy people visiting our towns, and rules with regulation put in place to recreate and achieve this. So far, the BLM, Tribes, Dam regulators, and now ODFW are positioning itself on the other side of that fence. It’s embarrassing and absurd. <o:p></o:p></div>

Dear ODFW Commission on Proposed Fishing Regulation Changes, </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
My name is Amy Hazel and I live on the Deschutes River in Maupin, Oregon. Not only do I live on the Deschutes, my entire livelihood depends on the health of the Deschutes and the health of the fish that live in the Deschutes. My husband and I own Deschutes Angler Fly Shop and John Hazel & Company guide service. I have dedicated the past 17 years of my life to sharing this river and the wonderful trout and steelhead fishery with anglers from around the world. Your proposed regulation changes for the Deschutes River threaten to degrade and possibly destroy this wonderful gem of a resource.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In the 12 years that I have interacted with anglers on a daily basis in my fly fishing shop and in the 17 years I have spent on the Deschutes guiding anglers, I can honestly say that I have never heard anyone complain about not being able to kill large trout on the Deschutes. Even with a slot limit in place, one rarely ever sees anglers harvesting trout – the Deschutes is, in the minds of most anglers, a catch and release trout river. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This river is a 100% wild native trout fishery. The trout are not supplemented by any of your hatchery programs, and they have been successfully thriving for decades. In recent years the changes in the management of the water releases from PGE’s Pelton Round Butte project have been negatively impacting water quality and insect populations on the Deschutes. The trout are struggling to adjust to these changes. Allowing additional harvest does not make sense in the Deschutes. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Allowing anglers to kill any 2 trout over 8” in length will negatively impact the trout fishery as well as the steelhead fishery. Allowing anglers to harvest 8-9” steelhead smolts as well as 16” Deschutes native wild trout is irresponsible – especially since ODFW has not conducted any in-depth study on the health of Deschutes trout since the Schroeder study in 1989. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
EITHER KEEP THE CURRENT REGULATIONS OR MAKE THE LOWER DESCHUTES RIVER 100% CATCH AND RELEASE FOR ALL TROUT. IT IS SOSIMPLE.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It seems to me that you are removing regulations that were put in place to protect native spawning fish – trout and steelhead in particular. In the case of the Deschutes, opening the river year-round would put many spawning redds at risk of being trampled by anglers and the fish themselves at risk of being harassed by anglers during a sensitive spawning time. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
PLEASE CONSIDER KEEPING THE DESCHUTES (SOUTH OF THE BORDER OF THE WARM SPRINGS INDIAN RESERVATION BOUNDARY) CLOSED TO ANGLING JANUARY 1-APRIL 25.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
There are very few rivers in the world that can boast a native trout population as healthy as that on the Deschutes River. Why not make the Deschutes trout fishery a catch and release fishery? A beautiful Deschutes wild rainbow trout is far too valuable to be enjoyed by just one person.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Amidst a
busy summer with Marty running bass trips in 105 heat and low water and me
working for TRCP, I dropped Tegan off at my sisters on Whidbey Island, Washington
and flew to Newark, New Jersey for a quick tour starting at <a href="http://www.tightlinesflyfishing.com/">Tight Lines FlyShop</a> and ending my trip on the Salmon River in Altmar, New York for <a href="http://speynation.com/about/">SpeyNations.</a> My mother was born and raised in New York. Despite still having
relatives out East, I haven’t visited since I was a kid. What I remember was the lights of the big city. This time I would land in Newark, by pass New
York City and head North to where the Catskills meet the Adirondacks. My uncle told me that this is where my
mother fell in love with the outdoors and I see why. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

My flight arrives in
Newark midnight, E.T. . Nancy and Andrew
Moy from Tight Lines ( a full service shop with a fantastic tying selection,
spey rods and “Spey” the shop dog. Half
hour from New York, this is the place to go if you need material and equipment.
) arranged a shuttle to pick me up. I’m greeted
by Mike, born and raised in New Jersey; he’s full of questions about the West
coast. He speaks with pride about being an East coaster, we compare the cost of
living and he tells me his from central New Jersey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

want anyone to ask if you live in South Jersey, which you think is basically
Philadelphia, or worse, Delaware. If you’re from Central Jersey, doesn’t ever
ask if Central Jersey really exist. It does.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Moy’s, full of energy and fun, this is going to be a great week! Heading north
we stop at the Catskill Fly Fishing Museum that is working to protect and
promote fly -fishing. Engulfed by a history that dates back to the early mid
1800’s with bamboo rods on display by H.L Leonard to a collection of art by Lee
and Joan Wolf and more. I discover this is where fly-fishing in the U.S. really
got its start and is the birth of the “Catskills Style.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Theodore Gordon wrote to the renowned English fly fishing author, Fredrick
Halford, complaining of the selective nature of the brown trout's feeding
habits, and soliciting suggestions on fly selection for Gordon's Catskill
waters. Halford sent back a cache of flies that were productive on the placid
English chalk streams of Kent (on display at the Catskill Fly Fishing Museum,
in Livingston Manor, NY today). Gordon recognized the flies needed to change to
imitate the local hatches, so he tweaked
the design of Halford's flies to created the high-floating Quill Gordon dry
fly, the first of the iconic "Catskill style" of dry fly. </span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

museum and becoming members, Andrew and I continue our journey to the
Beaverkill River, a tributary to the East Branch Delaware. At the Moy cabin we wader up for an evening
fish. Swinging isonychia nymphs and drifting isonychia dries, trout smack our
flies under a gray sky against the lush green “tropical” forest. As dusk approaches, the sky lights up with
Fireflies. I’m as giddy as a child
remembering catching fireflies as a kid in Tennessee. Nancy and I chase the
flies trying to catch one, she manages to seize one and I let it crawl on me,
watching it illuminate green, it flies away. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Frank Moore's footprint in the state of Oregon and in the fly-fishing community is enormous. For starters, in 1957 h</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">e and his wife Jeanne started the renowned Steamboat Inn so anglers could rest after a day of fishing the North Umpqua. </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">He and a core group of anglers started the<a href="http://www.steamboaters.org/"> Steamboaters</a> to help preserve the natural resource of the Umpqua River in 1966. He also had influence on the North Umpqua becoming a fly only regulation. He is also a </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">renowned steelhead angler that prefers a waked fly over a wet one and still fishes with his single hand rod today. </span></div>
<div class="standard" style="line-height: 16px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In the 1960s, Frank became concerned about logging's negative effects on watersheds. He collaborated with two friends, Hal Riney and Dick Snyder, to make the landmark film "Pass Creek." Then, flew his own plane all over the country to show it to the Forest Service, BLM, Congress, timber people, and conservation groups. The film had such an impact that major changes to logging practices were enacted.</span></div>
<div class="standard" style="line-height: 16px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Frank Moore's passion and dedication to wild steelhead and conservation is a model for all. In the few conversations I've had with him he's become a mentor and a friend. </span></div>
<div class="standard" style="line-height: 16px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We applauded </span><a href="http://www.wyden.senate.gov/news/blog/post/honoring-frank-moore" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">SenatorsRon Wyden</a><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and Jeff Merkley for introducing legislation, S.1448 , The "Frank Moore Wild Steelhead Sanctuary." The bill will designate approximately 104,000 acres of Forest Service land as a steelhead sanctuary. The Oregon senators named their legislation in honor of Frank Moore because of his outstanding accomplishments starting in World War II and then continuing for nearly two decades of conservation efforts along the North Umpqua River. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Throughout his life, Moore has shared his passion for fishing, the river, and the outdoors with visitors from all over the world. </span></div>
<div class="standard" style="line-height: 16px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The area identified is the North Umpqua River around
Steamboat Creek. As a steelheader, I consider this place sacred, its one of the most important tributaries for North Umpqua steelhead. There's a reason that Frank Moore and steelheaders such as Lee Spencer, Dan Callaghan and many more have dedicated their lives to the preservation of this watershed. </span></div>

Mixing styles, knowledge, and backgrounds, Great Lakes anglers finally have the opportunity to learn Traditional Spey, Scandinavian, and Skagit techniques from the experts, try specialized equipment on the water and talk with other fishermen in an atmosphere dedicated exclusively to 2-handed casting while enjoying a burger and a brew. </span></div>

What is this book titled “Fly Fishing Book Of Revelation”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this heading like the last chapter in the
Bible, predicting the end times of our sport, or is this the mania meanings of
words revealed to Jay through his fly-fishing life? If you flip through the
pages, open up anyplace, and start to read it sheds some light on the flair and
derisive nature Jay has in this book of fly fishing correlated terms and
phrases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Read on and you get a cross
between definition and wit. Imagine the entertainment if Ken Kesey wrote the American
Dictionary. Well my friends, Jay wrote this for us fly fishing fools! Get it
and read it. You’ll be glad you did!<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></div>
