Ron Hulstein to Describe

Fishing in Alaska and the

Yukon in March

At the March meeting Ron Hulstein will talk about fishing for lake trout, grayling, and rainbows in the Yukon Territory. And a bit about fishing for salmon in Alaska.

Ron’s fly fishing career started when he was 50 years old. Thanks to his youngest son, they started fly fishing on the Big Horn River in Montana. While at Dickinson State University in North Dakota, Ron was able to teach a two-hour seminar for four week of fly tying for three years.

In 2001, Ron and his wife took a long desired five-week vacation to Alaska to fish for salmon, and what-ever else was available. Then in 2002, he accepted a teaching posi-tion at the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) at Ju-

Sowbug Update

The Sowbug has been getting pub-licity lately. There was an article in a recent edition of the Baxter Bul-letin. I sent pictures to a reporter for the Springfield newspaper and pictures and text to one of the web based magazine. The latest edition of Fly Fish America has just come out and our ad is in the front with all of the other ads for Cotter Ar-kansas. We have a nice exhibit set-up in the foyer of the library.

Fred Dupre’ has recruited 140 tyers for this year’s Sowbug. That is a record number! Every seat will be filled.

This year the Backpack Food for Kids program will again operate the canteen at Sowbug. The profits from the operation will go towards providing nutritionally adequate weekend meals for Mountain Home school children. NAFF and the Sowbug Roundup does not get any revenue from the operation of the canteen, we get

Message

Fly Tying Class with Davy Wotton

Still high water. Getting closer. Perhaps by the time you read the newsletter we will be wading. What will be impact of the high water on this year’s caddies and mayfly hatch? The Norfolk is still stained. We have anything close to last years it will a great year.

Fished the Eleven Point River on Thursday (2.25) with Wayne Buck. Had a nice float with Brian. We caught smallies, rainbows, large mouth, one big google eye and a bream. No real large fish ……… had opportunities to catch several.

Sowbug is fast approaching. Thanks to committee members, members helping Dennis and Amy sort contributions for raffles etc.

Be safe and great fishing.

Ken Sickels, President

great food for show without the headache operating the canteen ourselves. And support a very worthwhile cause.

The Mountain Home Advertising and Promotion Commission shot down our request for money. They did not think that we attracted enough out of town visitors to jus-tify their support. We know that we do attract a lot of out of town visitors, so we need to come up with some hard number when we make a pitch for next year. For example, we know that only eight of the 140 confirmed tyers are from the local area!

The Sowbug is only six weeks off. It is coming whether we are ready or not. But we will be ready.

Ron has always had time to show his friends and students the funda-mentals of fly tying and the tech-niques of fly casting. But Ron’s fa-vorite time is fly fishing with stu-dents.

Fly of the Month WD-40

Hook – TMC 2487, 16-20

Thread – UTC 70/140 Denier, Light Olive

Tail/Wing case – Lemon Wood Duck flank. Feather tied in at the bend and covered with thread to the thorax area and pulled back

Thorax – Antron light olive dub-bing, tied in X style

Wing case – remaining feather pulled over and tied down just behind the eye. Then return the thread behind the thorax, double back the feather and whip finish on the body.

The WD40 originated on New Mexico’s San Juan River. Tied in very small sizes (22-26) it is still a staple there. Used here on the White River in sizes up to 16 it can be very effective.

The early summer hatch of Sul-phurs is well imitated in the emerger state by a size 16 with a “lemon” wood duck flank feather for the tail and wing case, light olive thread for the abdomen, and Antron light olive dubbing for the thorax. The smaller black version with Mallard flank feather in size 18 – 20 is well accepted by trout

March Raffle feeding on emerging midges.

This subsurface fly can be used as a dropper under a dry fly. It can be the second fly in tandem with a beaded zebra midge, or simply sus-pended below the surface under an indicator.

A tying tip is to attach the flank feather across from the bottom the eye on the bend leaving a half inch, then gently pulling on feath-er to “center” the feather before covering it to form the thread ab-domen. Wrap the thread up 75% of the hook, pull it back and dub the thorax using X wraps. Pull the feather over the thorax to form the wing case and secure behind the eye and the pull back over the thorax and whip finish behind the thorax.

Sowbug Fly Tyers Update

"We have signed up over 140 tiers for the Sowbug. The largest group ever! The tiers schedule will be published in March. I was able to accommodate all the tiers date and time requests.

We still have several openings for Fishy Fullum, Mike George and Peggy Brennen tying classes. Fishy will be giving two, two hour classes tying his favorite flies. The cost will be $25 per class. Mike George will be giving a four hour course tying deer hair poppers, His class is $50. Peggy Brennen is giving a four hour class, tying classic streamer flies. Her class is also $50. Please send a check to Fred DuPre, 572 Marion County 7005, Flippin, Ar 72634 if you want to attend one or more of these clas-ses.

Fishy's classes are on Thursday, 9am and Friday, 9am. Mike's class is on Friday at 12 noon. Peggy's class is on Thursday afternoon starting at 12 noon.

We will also will have Featured Tiers at a special table with extra seating. Fishy Fullum, Mike George, Peggy Brennen, Tony

Spezio and Teresa VanWinkle will be our special Featured Tiers.

During each day, we will be auc-tioning off flies from all the tiers that will be mounted in a nice shadow box. We are also having a Blind Wooley Booger Contest each day that will be managed by our own president, Ken Sickles.

Jimmy T’s Fishing Report - March

Finally! Flood gates have been shut down on both dams and the flows are lower. Heck! The Nor-fork has even been wadeable. And soon enough perhaps even the White will see some minimum flow and wadeable water. Even guides who like the higher flows were getting weary of all the high flows and that is saying something. But with all that said, the fishing and catching have been darn good. I’ll bet we even see our caddis and Sulphur hatches on time this year.

Speaking of hatches, I’ve had a couple of reports of sightings of caddis; so get ready as this can be one exciting event. Other than last year, the caddis hatch has also been a producer of some good sized brown trout; and more than anything else, has produced some stellar numbers of these fish.

Davy’s trans caddis on some weak generation will work very well as of course does the Arkansas Bead Head Hares ear now commonly called the Sunday Special. Anoth-er version of this fly that I use is tied the same way but with dark olive dubbing and a copper t-bead ribbed with yellow or chartreuse wire size# 14. In fact, a two rig set up using any of these three flies in conjunction with each other will produce some great fishing. Of course we can’t leave out the dry version either. Another great set up I have been using for years is a humpy double or single as an indi-cator with another fly as a dropper … sort of the best of both worlds. Coating the humpy with some mu-

cilin will keep it floating for a long time as the mucilin hardens up in the cold water, an old school prod-uct that works wonders on dries and terrestrials and the end of your sinking fly line.

As the caddis hatch begins to wane, we then look forward to our Sulphur hatch which generally starts up towards the end of May and goes into June. Before this hatch really gets started, using pheasant tails in many varieties will also bring in some good fish and will attract some brown trout as well. This fly is pretty versatile in that with a bead it can be fished under a dry or cast and retrieved like a soft hackle. It can be nymphed upstream or at a right angle if you are sight fishing. In fact, much like a soft hackle, I don’t think there is a wrong way to fish this fly. There is even a soft hackle version that is a proven winner.

So let’s hope for much more wada-ble water this year without any pouring downfalls of rain; but just enough to keep our gardens and the ground from getting too dry. Also just a reminder that in the shop we have manufacturer spools of knotless tapered leaders from 6X all the way up to 000X nylon made in Japan for only a $1.00. Drop by and take a look; and most of all, stay safe fishing.

has been scheduled to resume stocking above dam 3 during March. Dam 3 and down stream has been the best places to fish.

Bonneville Cutthroats can be caught on the Spring River this winter. Some really nice Cutts were stocked during October and have been a great addition to the river. Please use extra care releas-ing these beautiful trout. Hopeful-ly a healthy population of these trout will stay in the river. Browns have been tough to get on the bite with the nice weather we’ve had. But on cloudy days they can be caught stripping woollies or fish-ing smaller nymphs dead drifting.

Membership Update Spring River Fishing Report—New!!

Water levels at the Spring are run-ning at 400 cfs and water clarity has been clear. The Spring River is looking great. Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of pres-sure with all of the tail waters gen-erating. The weekends have been the busiest. During the week a per-son can still find some solitude on the river. The trout have been on and off on the bite. Most days it takes some work to get the bite. There have been a few days during the week when a simple Y2k is all they want and some easy catching can be had.

Hatches have been mainly caddis with some light cahills coming off at times. Below a few waterfalls there has been some risers taking caddis dry flies but mainly nymphs in size 14-12 work great for getting the strike during a hatch. Really can’t go wrong with mayfly emerg-ers of one kind or another. Strip-ping woolly buggers on cloudy days can be exciting also on a sink tip.

Trout are still not being stocked above dam 3 and places like Lassit-er can be very tough to get hits. It

would have overtopped, inundat-ing towns like Jacksonport, New-port, and Des Arc as well as flood-ing thousands of acres of prime farmland.

Mike Biggs, chief of Little Rock District’s Hydraulics and Tech-nical Services Branch was responsi-ble for regulating all six reservoirs during the flood fight, said flows moving into the Branson, Mo., area from Table Rock Dam would also have been about four to five times greater.

“Preliminary estimates indicate the flood crest would have been 20 feet higher at Branson, Mo., inun-dating hundreds more homes and businesses in the Branson area,” Biggs said. “While the largest re-lease from Table Rock was about 72,500 cubic feet per second, flows coming into the lake exceed-ed 345,000 c.f.s.”

Engineers in Biggs’ office reported that flows into Beaver Lake were in excess of 200,000 c.f.s. while releases were limited to about 91,000 c.f.s.

If the dams were not operated as they were, homes and businesses downstream from Beaver Dam could have experienced flows of more than 200,000 c.f.s. for many hours and the Branson area could have seen a flow rate of nearly 345,000 c.f.s. Those amounts are vastly different than the flows the Corps released from the dams.

Even when making a larger than typical release, a dam does not make conditions downstream

COE, Dams, and Flood Control. How it all

Works.

The six White River basin reser-voirs operated by the Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District were key players in reducing the amount of flooding experienced in December across northern Arkan-sas and southern Missouri and are being readied for the spring rainy season.

Even though releases from Beaver and Table Rock Lakes were more than the “typical” flood control releases, the dams reduced flood-ing by releasing far less than the inflow coming into the lakes dur-ing this significant rain event.

The reservoirs, Beaver, Table Rock, Bull Shoals, Norfork, Clear-water and Greer's Ferry lakes, cap-ture and hold upstream runoff during heavy rains. Without that storage, all that water would pour downriver at one time and add to flood crests already developing from rain falling downstream. Those flood crests would rise high-er, spread over more land, and cause significantly more damage and loss of life.

Without lakes like Bull Shoals and Norfork near Mountain Home, Ark., working with the other four lakes, many more homes and busi-nesses would have been flooded, the trout fishery would have been destroyed, towns like Cotter, Nor-fork, Calico Rock, and Batesville would have flooded, and most of the major levees downstream

worse than the natural condition the river would be in without the dam in place. It is just that the dam has less capability to reduce downstream flooding under those conditions.

Also, some people think they are fully protected downstream of a big dam.

“Not so,” said Biggs. “The lakes are not intended to and cannot prevent all flooding.”

Rather the dams were designed to reduce the peak of the flood. Those living around the lakes or downstream next to the rivers and creeks live with the risk of flood-ing every time it rains heavily.

What the Corps sees happening is that more and more people con-tinue to encroach closer into the flood plain around the lake and in the downstream reaches. Then when the Corps needs to make a release from its dams, people get angry about how it operates the dams.

Corps guidance requires its staffs to operate their lakes based on runoff from rain that has occurred and can be measured. Operating the dams based upon “water on the ground” allows engineers to make decisions based upon facts and engineering calculations ra-ther than estimates. This best pro-vides the benefits intended for all the stakeholders.

Pre-releasing before the rain has occurred puts the areas protected by the dam at greater risk if more rain develops or is more intense

could invalidate the engineering that built the dam, and thus it re-quires extensive study to enact change.

“We follow that plan dogmatically because, over the long term, the congressionally authorized plan provides the greatest benefits to the greatest number of people,” said Biggs. “It’s not the best plan for any single person or communi-ty, but it is the best plan for all.”

So what has changed? Since the dams were placed in operation, people have encroached into flood-prone areas. This includes busi-nesses, homeowners, fishing facili-ties, agriculture, and about any form of man-made development one can think of.

“It makes our job more difficult with each flood,” said Biggs. “Property exchanges owners and the new owner exclaims that I have never seen the lake (or river) this high before; you must be do-ing something wrong!”

Weather has changed. The floods of 1927, 1935, and 1945 are his-toric floods occurring before the dams were built. Shortly after the dams were built, the area experi-enced an extended dry spell. Over the decades since the dams were built, the weather has fluctuated between drought and wet patterns. The floods of 1982, 1990, 2008, 2011 and 2015 have reminded everyone why the dams were built in the first place.

Weather is not static, it is always changing. The one constant is

than forecasted in the protected areas. If engineers released water before rain fell and future rain then caused an area to be flooded or flooded to a higher level, then the Corps would have added to that flood level.

Also, rainfall forecasts are not suf-ficiently accurate to base opera-tional decisions based on forecasts of future rain. Engineers have to know the amount of rain, its in-tensity, and its duration to calcu-late runoff over very large areas. Just because the broadcast weather forecast shows rain, it does not provide this detail.

“How many times have you made plans for a sunny weekend on Monday to find out Friday night that it will be rainy,” asked Biggs. “This happens all the time because long-range forecasts are not accu-rate. By the time a weather fore-cast becomes accurate, there is not enough time to evacuate enough storage from the lakes to effect lake levels.”

Many people ask why the Corps has changed the way it operates the lakes. “We haven’t,” said Biggs. “The water control plan used today is essentially the same as the one used to design the lakes—size of the flood pools, height of the dam, size of the spill-way gates, the real estate pur-chased, etc.—in the 1940’s and 1950’s. The water control plan was part of that design.”

Changing the operational plan

that the Corps’ flood risk reduc-tion dams are doing the job of re-ducing flooding downstream of its reservoirs and the methodology used to operate the reservoirs is based on science proven statics. The long-standing water control plan followed by the Corps’ engi-neers was designed to provide pub-lic safety, protect the Corps infra-structure, and provide the greatest benefit to all.

Unfortunately, when Mother Na-ture provides us with more water than we need or want, some living and working in flood prone areas will still experience flood waters. The bottom line is “always respect the river.”
