SUMMARY:Canada-Water Falls Lodge\, Spanish Ontario
DESCRIPTION:Location: Water Falls Lodge Spanish Ontario  www.waterfallslodge.com Travel (driving) time is approximately 12-13hours. This is a drive to destination\, no fly-in or ferry to the lodge. \nDates: June 7 – 14\, 2025 (Sat – Sat) Arrive Sat the 7th depart Sat the 14th. \nCoordinator: Ralph Swallows (ralph@derbycityflyfishers.com; 502-836-8841) \nTrip Level: This is a Level 2+ trip — You will be handling a power boat with a trolling motor on large lakes.  It can be windy on those lakes which can make casting challenging\, but not undoable. You will be sharing a boat with another angler\, so you need to be comfortable fishing in close proximity to another person. \nNumber of Spots: Up to 18 \nFishing License: You are required to purchase an Outdoors Card ($8.57) along with a non-resident fishing license. There are 2 types of fishing licenses that can be purchased: Sport fishing ($54.38 / 8 day) or Conservation fishing ($31.52/ 8 day.) The Sport fishing allows you to keep and possess 4 fish daily\, the Conservation fishing allows you to keep and possess 1 fish daily. All licenses are required to be bought online. Click here. \nVERY IMPORTANT: YOU MUST HAVE A VALID US PASSPORT OR PASSPORT CARD.  WE WILL BE CROSSING THE CANDIAN BORDER! If you need to apply for a passport\, do it sooner rather than later as it may take as long as 6 – 13 weeks to get one!! There are no COVID-19 Vaccine mandates or vaccine requirements currently in place. If this changes we will notify you. \nTrip Details:  This is a boating trip. There is a boat with foot-controlled trolling motor for every 2 anglers (included in trip price.) The boats are docked at the cabins. The first tank of gas is included in the trip price\, all subsequent fill ups are extra and split between the two anglers sharing the boat. \nWe are fishing mainly for Smallmouth Bass\, but Pike and Walleye are also available.  Fishing tips and tackle recommendations will follow. \nGuides and guided excursions are available/optional. \nThere are four lakes accessible via the provided boats\, plus a fifth lake you can walk to from the cabins and rent a boat.  In addition\, you can book day trips (extra cost) to one of two remote lakes. Daily remote lake trips include lunch\, boat\, motor\, gas\, bait\, guide and transportation. \nLodging: We have reserved three cabins (#9\, 10 & 11) which can accommodate a total of 18 people. These are waterfront cabins with fully equipped kitchens\, outdoor BBQs and fire-pits. The total base cost of the trip $885 US and is for 7 nights lodging with evening meals. Not included are travel expenses\, fishing license\, breakfast\, lunch or guided trips. \nMeals: Evening meals (served from 5PM -8PM) are included with the price. Meals are fixed menu but are different each evening. Previous trip participants found them to be delicious and satisfying. Restaurant is a short walk up the hill from the cabins. We are on our own for breakfast and lunch. But with full kitchens they should be no problem.  However\, if you prefer you can purchase breakfast and lunch at the restaurant on a walk in basis. \nPayment: Payment will be handled in three steps: \n\nAt sign up (click here) you will be required to pay a $210\, non-refundable deposit to DCFF.  This covers the cabin reservation deposit. Registration has been extended\, but we need to target an even number so we can maintain 2 participants per boat. If you need to cancel\, we’ll make every effort to find someone to replace you on the trip and refund your deposit\, but no guarantees. If we can’t fill your spot\, your deposit can be rolled forward to the next year.\nThe remaining balance ($675 US) will be paid directly to Waterfalls Lodge upon arriving at the Lodge.\nBefore leaving the lodge\, you will settle up with them for gas and any additional charges you incurred during the week.\n\nYou are encouraged to go to the Waterfalls Lodge website and check things out. There are videos available on the website. This resort has been featured on The New Fly Fisher YouTube Channel.

SUMMARY:Greene-Sullivan State Forest & Shakamak State Park\, IN (Spring Trip)
DESCRIPTION:  \nDates: May 7 -11\, 2025 \nCoordinator:  \n\nWes Krupiczewicz wes@derbycityflyfishers.com; 502-938-2662\n\nThe Plan:  This will be the club’s third trip to the area around Linton\, Indiana\, about 2.5 hours West of Louisville.  You can find the 2023 Trip Report on the Website. \nWe will be fishing for bluegill and bass in three Indiana State Land areas. \n\nThe area includes Greene-Sullivan State Forest (https://www.in.gov/dnr/forestry/properties/greene-sullivan-state-forest/)\nShakamak State Park (https://www.in.gov/dnr/state-parks/parks-lakes/shakamak-state-park/)\nHillenbrand Fish and Wildlife Area ( https://www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wildlife/properties/hillenbrand-fwa/ \nThere are a large number of small lakes and impoundments with a variety of small boat (skiff\, canoe\, kayak\, float tube\, etc.) and bank fishing opportunities.  Shakamak State Park also rents boats with trolling motors.\n\nWe have rented two cottages in the Persimmon Lake Loop and can room a total of 16 campers.  The plan is to split meal preparation between the two cabin groups since meal preparation for more than 8 people is difficult.  We may be able to combine some meals\, but we’ve got to work that out. \nDescription of Waters:  This area in Western Indiana is a former coal strip pit area.  There are about 120 small lakes in Greene-Sullivan ranging in size from 3 acres to 120 acres.  The Forest itself has many small lakes with over 50 launch ramps; the Dugger Unit has 13 launch ramps with somewhat larger lakes.  Shakamak has 400 acres of man-made lakes with boat ramps\, canoe launches\, fishing piers\, fish cleaning stations and boat rental.   Hillenbrand has another 25 small lakes.  Greene-Sullivan is about 10 miles and 20 minutes southwest of Shakamak.  Hillenbrand is about 13 miles southeast of Shakamak. \nAccessibility:  With all the launch points\, this is an ideal area for small boats including kayaks and canoes.  Almost all the boat ramps are improved so that the small skiffs like we use on the Cumberland River work; gas motors cannot be used but trolling motor are acceptable. You will need a PFD on your watercraft. \nLevel:  This is a Level 2 trip.  There will not be dedicated fishers to teach beginners fly fishing basics.  There may be teachable opportunities\, but there are no guarantees. \nMeals: \n\nFor now\, plan to bring your own lunch\, snacks\, and beverages of choice.\nI will bring the DCFF coffee pot and coffee for the group. We could use another large coffee pot.\nWe plan to have group breakfasts and suppers. Please indicate your willingness to cook on the sign up. Plan a meal for 8.  If you need ideas on meals\, contact Wes.  Cooks should save receipts since these costs are reimbursable.  Wes has a large 2 burner propane stove that he will bring.\nI’m hoping we catch enough panfish to have fish fries. So bring your filet knives to clean fish and fish baskets/wells to keep fish.\nThere are grocery stores close by\, so we can shop locally and do not have to pack everything in.\nYou need to bring your cooking and meal prep utensils – if you think you’ll need it\, bring it!. We will have paper plates and plastic ware.\n\nLodging:  The Club has rented Persimmon Lake bunk house cottages #1 and #2 in the Shakamak Group camping area. Directions will be provided in the trip updates just prior to the trip.  Each bunk house has 11 double bunk beds.  Each camper will get a lower berth to sleep and the upper bunk for storage.  The cottages have a kitchen with a full refrigerator\, stove/oven and a sink; we will keep the bunk bed next to the kitchen empty for storage.  There are 2 shower stalls\, 2 toilets and 2 vanities. There are two picnic tables and a fire pit outside. \n\nWe must bring our own linens\, towels\, cookware\, camp chairs\, and eating utensils.\nThe bunks have a pretty good foam mattress and most previous participants did not see a need for air mattresses. Pillows\, sheets\, blankets and/or sleeping bags are highly recommended.\nIf you want to be in the same bunkhouse as someone else\, please so state in the questions field on the sign up.\nIf you want to participate but NOT stay in the cottages\, camping spots and cabins are available; you need to make your own arrangements.\nFirewood is available for sale in the Park. We’ll buy firewood for the group fires. No outside firewood is allowed.\nWe can set up popup shelters/canopies.\n\nParking is limited.  We may want to try to figure out how to carpool for this trip.  Other cars may have to park in a group lot which is close to the cottages. \nThe plan limits this trip to 16 participants.  Registration cost for the trip is $140 (payable at sign up) for the four nights and will include the group breakfasts\, suppers and firewood.  There may be a cash up-charge if we burn a lot of wood.  Any registration fee refund is at the discretion of the DCFF Board. \nFishing License and Permits: (All these costs are in addition to the trip registration fee.) \n\nYou need an Indiana Fishing License; these can be purchased on line at Indiana Fishing License.\nFor boat operators\, you also need a Lake Permit ($5/year non-motorized\, $25/year motorized). You can get them at any State Park Office including the one at Greene/Sullivan. These permits are good at all Indiana State parks.\nPark entrance fees are $7 resident and $9 out of state; you will get a parking pass after paying the 1st day entry fee.\n\nEquipment:  3 to 8 weight fly rods\, but if you want to spin or bait fish that is acceptable.  Both topwater and typical nymph flies should work.  Bluegill love mop flies and trout magnets! \nSign Up:  If you have any questions\, contact Wes at wes@derbycityflyfishers.com or 502-938-2662.  You must be a current DCFF member to sign up for this trip. \nClick here to sign up.

This is a wading trip and some of the wading can be moderately challenging. A wading staff is highly recommended\, and many past participants use studded wading boots. \nNumber of spots 20 \nEquipment: 3-6 wt rods\, floating lines\, #8-14 nymphs\, #10-12 bead head crackle backs\, midges\, egg patterns\, mop flies\, Chicago Flies (white\, black\, and olive)\, woolly buggers and misc. other streamers. Don’t forget your waders\, net\, wading staff & boots. \nA NC fishing license is required.  As of Sept 2019\, a Trout Stamp is no longer required. Click here to purchase. \nWe have also acquired a map of local access points. Click here to view. \nOuting Details: We’ll be staying in the Dillsboro\, NC area to trout fish in several of the delayed harvest (i.e.\, catch and release) streams in the area. The Tuckasegee River\, West Fork of the Pigeon River\, the Upper Nantahala River\, Laurel River\, and the Davidson River\, and the  are all within a 1-hour drive of Dillsboro. These rivers provide some of the best fishing in the area. Past trips have produced a very successful catch with fish in the 17–20-inch range being common. \n*** Construction Alert*** Due to the recent damage from Hurricane Helene\, and the subsequent flooding\, has Interstate 40 closed until 2028\, a suggested route would be going through the Smokey Mountains National Park via HW\, 441\, exiting off of I-40 at Highway 66 to 441 through the park\, exiting to Cherokee to Highway 74 East to and Dillsboro-Silva. UPDATE The I-40 corridor is scheduled to reopen 3.1.2025 to one lane each way with a 40 mph speed limit. So it may be a way to access the Shelton Laurel and Hot Springs area. \nLodging: You will be responsible for making your own lodging arrangements. I have negotiated a block of rooms at the Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites\, NC\, Address: 248 WBI Dr.\, Dillsboro\, NC 28725. 828-586-6060.  When booking your room at the Best Western https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotel-rooms.34143.html?groupId=B31VM2I1 ( double occupancy\, 2-queen beds) be sure to tell them you are with the DCFF club for the special room rate (to be negotiated) for Wednesday through Friday nights. (The group discount expires the 25th of March) \nUPDATE: The North Carolina WRC announced they will be stocking the Tuckasegee river April 1-4\, in Jackson County\, literally from the parking lot of our motel. (this could make things much more interesting! \nMeals: You will be responsible for all meals. A hot breakfast is included in the hotel cost with your stay. We are planning on a carry out dinner at the hotel for two nights from a local restaurant for those that are interested. \nGuided Fishing: If you are interested in a wading or float guided trip\, Maggie Valley Fly Shop is offering a 20% discount to DCFF members for this trip. You can make arrangements with the shop at: (828) 476-6710 or https://www.maggievalleyflyshop.com/. \nEstimated Cost: The three-night trip will cost approximately $350 – $400 per person for lodging (based on shared room)\, license\, gas\, and food; there is no deposit required as each participant is responsible for their own costs.  You will also be asked during sign up if you are willing to share a room and if you want to carpool. I will try to coordinate carpooling and shared lodging. \nClick here to sign up.

SUMMARY:Fly Tying - Bass Pro
DESCRIPTION:Our Fly Tying Classes are open to everyone – you do not have to be a member to attend.  Generally we tie one fly\, but we tie it twice.  An instructor demonstrates\, step-by-step\, how to tie the fly with accompanying video on a big screen TV so students can see each step. \nTools and materials are provided at no cost\, but if you have your own tools feel free to bring them. \nBeginners are welcome.  There will be experienced tiers available to provide individual help. \nThis month\, George Tipker will be tying the GT’s Brood X Cicada. \n  \nThis is the year of the massive 17-year Brood X Cicada hatch\, in and around our area.
