SUMMARY:Taylorsville Lake Fish Habitat Project
DESCRIPTION:DCFF has been invited to help with this project and we would like to provide 3 volunteers each day. If\, after reading the project description below\, you decide you want to help out please click here to signup. You can volunteer for one or more days. \nThis is a great opportunity to help improve the fishery habitat on one of the most popular lakes in central Kentucky and become better acquainted with some of the KDFWR staff. \nThe DCFF point of contact for this project is Jeff Daiber (DCFF Conservation Director) (Jeff.Daiber@outlook.com\, 502-544-6630) \nMore details will be provided as they become available. \nThe Central Fisheries District (CFD) of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is planning to complete a cedar tree habitat project at Taylorsville Lake where cedars are cut from the shoreline and placed into the water to resemble natural hinge cut trees. This project is in cooperation with the Taylorsville ACOE Office and Taylorsville Lake State Park. The work is scheduled for the week of December 2nd-6th – but they only need our help the 3rd through the 4th. If the weather or lake levels don’t allow for this work\, the back up will be the following week. The game plan will be to have 12 staff/volunteers on the ground each day to cover the operations of Nick’s Habitat Barge\, Chad’s Habitat Barge\, shoreline crew blocking trees and a chainsaw crew. \nThe plan is for the DCFF volunteers to meet the others at the Settlers Trace Marina Boat Ramp on Taylorsville Lake at 9:30 am and work til about 3:00 pm.

SUMMARY:J. Graham Brown High School Fly Fishing Club
DESCRIPTION:DCFF is doing our part to help our youth get out on the water\, because “take a kid fishing” has always been a great idea. For a third year\, DCFF has been asked to continue our Youth Outreach Program with J. Graham Brown High School. \nTheir High School Club meets one or two Friday mornings a month at the school beginning about 9:15 am (you should be there by 9:00am.) Meetings start the week of September 6th and conclude December 13th. We usually host a graduation fishing trip to Floyd’s Fork. \nNote: The address provided below is actually the YMCA parking garage on 2nd Street.  After entering and taking your parking ticket (will be validated at the school office) proceed to either the 3rd level catwalk (for indoor meetings) or 4th level (for outdoor meetings.) \nWe have always had a great team of DCFF volunteers assisting and look to you for continued support. You do not want to miss out on this rewarding experience and you don’t need to attend every session to participate. There will be weeks when only two or three DCFF volunteers are needed. You don’t have to be an expert in all areas of fly fishing\, just basic knowledge and proficiency is all that is required. \nMike Parker will be the DCFF coordinator for this program this year. You can contact him for questions/information about the program and volunteer needs for each club meeting (kayakonthefly@gmail.com\, 530-440-5645) \nIf interested in volunteering\, contact John Froehlich (270-314-0362\, education@derbycityflyfishers.com.) He will assist with getting you setup as a volunteer and add you to the contact list the group.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Meetings are open to everyone\, you do not have to be a member to attend.  Typical format: 10-15 minute “Tackle Time”  presentation on some aspect of Fly Fishing followed by a business segment to introduce new members and guests\,  take questions and get updates on fishing from attendees\, announce/discuss upcoming events/trips\, and conduct any required club business. All this is followed by a 30 – 45 minute presentation by a guest speaker on a fly fishing related topic. \nAt this meeting the main business item will be the election of Board of Directors members for 2025.  You can view the slate of candidates here. We need  10% of the membership (minimum 24 members) present to vote to constitute a quorum.  Please plan to attend and vote. \nThe evening’s presentation will be focused on water quality in the Floyds Fork watershed. Trent Winlock\, from the Metropolitan Sewer District\, will be the presenter. He’ll talk about the definition of water quality – specifically\, what it means for habitat\, fish\, and the humans who pursue them. He’ll also look at the details from three study locations along Floyds Fork – and what those numbers tell us about the health of the waterway.  \nTrent is originally from Louisville and learned to fly fish on Kentucky’s trout and smallmouth streams. During his 20s he moved west to pursue a river dream of fishing and guiding bigger waters. Countless hours in the sun fostered a deep love for fishy environments – and a great desire to protect them. He eventually moved back to his hometown\, where he works for MSD\, keeping tabs on the health of the streams of Jefferson County. \nAs usual we will have DCFF gear and apparel available for purchase as well as a chance to win items from an assortment of gear and materials donated by club members.

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 12-20 \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. \nA NC fishing license is required.  Click here to purchase. Trout Stamp is included with the Inland Fishing License you will need. \nOuting Details: We’ll be staying in the Waynesville\, 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\, Davidson River\, and the Shelton-Laurel Creek are all within a 1-hour drive of Waynesville. 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. \nLodging: You will be responsible for making your own lodging arrangements. We have negotiated a block of 10 rooms for $95/night (plus fees\, taxes\, etc.) at the Econo Lodge in Waynesville\, NC\, Address: 232 State Rd 1202\, Waynesville\, NC 28786\, (828) 246-6201.

When booking your room at the Econo Lodge\, be sure to tell them you are with the Derby City Fly Fishing club for the special room rate for Wednesday through Friday nights. On the past several trips many participants have stayed at the Jonathan Creek Inn in Maggie Valley www.jonathancreekinn.com. This is an option as well. \nMeals: You will be responsible for all meals. Usually\, I will arrange a group dinner at a local restaurant on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for those who 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:NATIONAL HUNTING AND FISHING DAY
DESCRIPTION:Saturday September 28th from 9 am – 3:30 pm \nSalato Wildlife Education Center \n1 Sportsman’s Ln\, Frankfort\, KY 40601 \nGoogle Map Link \nKentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is asking DCFF to join them in celebrating NATIONAL HUNTING AND FISHING DAY at the Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort\, September 28 from 9am to 3:30pm. Although this is very short notice\, it is another great opportunity to build a stronger relationship with KDFWR. They want us to demonstrate casting and to assist visitors in fishing in the lake located on the property. To be effective\, it would require at least 3 or 4 DCFF volunteers at all times. Depending on the club response\, it could be broken into shifts or we might have to reduce the length of time of our participation. Please give serious consideration to helping with this event\, and if you can\, email John Froehlich at wolleybugger9014@gmail.com   to let him know.

SUMMARY:Cumberland River Trip (Helm's Landing) September 2024
DESCRIPTION:Location: Riverside Retreat\, Helm’s Landing \nDates:   September 13th – 15th (Fri – Sun) \nCoordinator:  Wes Krupiczewicz wes@derbycityflyfishers.com or 502-938-2662 \nLevel 3 Trip:  This is a trip for experienced anglers and there will be limited opportunities for training (see Trip Suitability for details).  All boaters should have experience in moving waters.  When generation starts on the Cumberland\, water levels can quickly rise 15 feet or more.  A PFD is required for all boaters. \nNumber of Spots: 8 \nEquipment:  3 to 8 weight fly rods.  Smaller rods are appropriate for nymph fishing while 8 weight rods are a better choice for streamer or “hopper/dropper” fishing.  Flies include #8 to #18 nymphs\, including stone flies\, pheasant tails\, hare’s ears\, prince\, copper john’s\, midges\, and most other trout flies like mop and egg patterns.  Black\, white and olive wooly buggers are good streamers.  Prominently white shad imitations work well and provide a visual fishing experience when fished from a boat.  Hoppers and other terrestrials will take fish in August and September when fished along walls and high banks. \nFishing License and permits:  You will need a Kentucky fishing license and trout permit. Click here to purchase. There is a $5 vehicle fee to use the Kendall boat ramp at the dam. This fee is waived with a National Park Pass. \nThe Plan:  The club has reserved all 4 rooms at the Riverside Retreat at Helm’s Landing for this outing.  Cost is $110 per person for the two night weekend\, assuming double occupancy in each room; registration and full payment is required to secure your bed. Note that due to escalating costs\, we may have a cash surcharge in addition to the registration fee.  Any refunds for cancelations are at the discretion of the DCFF board.  There are 8 spots on the sign up.  Anyone wanting to stay over only 1 night will be accommodated as floor space allows – contact Wes regarding availability of space. \nDescription of the Waters:  In 2024\, we can expect some sort of a generation schedule with little to no flow in the early morning and generation starting sometime between dawn and early afternoon.  This trip should be considered primarily a boating or floating trip with the possibility of wade fishing on various shoals accessible by boat.  There is also the possibility to wade fish Hatchery Creek.  Go to the Stream Information – Cumberland River page on the DCFF website for more information about the river\, possible floats in the upper section of the river\, and alternative launch locations.  If we get a lot of rain and high-water levels on the tailwater\, there is always the potential to fish for bass or panfish on Lake Cumberland itself. \nDepending on water conditions and the generation schedule\, virtually any small craft can be used on the river.  At 2 or more generators or during high winds\, the river will be “pushy” for inflatable pontoon boats; canoes and kayaks are better\, but skill will be required to safely use them under generation flow conditions.  Small motor-powered craft are the best option if the operator knows how to avoid river obstructions like rocks and logs.  It will be your responsibility to secure a craft and/or find a buddy with a craft.  You can follow other experienced members on the river\, but you need to know how to navigate and operate your boat.  Also\, recognize the need to practice safe boating techniques on the Cumberland; wear a life jacket when you are underway and if you get dumped into the river get to shore ASAP – hypothermia will take over quickly with the water temperatures in the 50s year round! \nLodging:  There are 8 beds available in the rooms.  Linens and towels are provided.  Each room has a cooktop stove (no oven)\, microwave\, small refrigerator\, coffee maker (bring your own coffee and condiments). Dishes\, flat ware and cooking utensils are available\, but if you need something specific for meal preparation\, plan to bring it. There are charcoal grills on the deck.  You are expected to do your dishes and keep the rooms clean.  Please do not leave trash or garbage on the deck – raccoons are a problem. \nMeals:  Breakfast and Lunch are on your own.  We traditionally share supper; volunteer cooks are always appreciated\, and your food costs are reimbursable\, so save those receipts.  Bring a chair to enjoy the fire in the evening (assuming we can source the wood).  Your payment includes the cost of supper and firewood. \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.  Click here to sign up.

SUMMARY:J. Graham Brown High School Fly Fishing Club
DESCRIPTION:DCFF is doing our part to help our youth get out on the water\, because “take a kid fishing” has always been a great idea. For a third year\, DCFF has been asked to continue our Youth Outreach Program with J. Graham Brown High School. \nTheir High School Club meets one or two Friday mornings a month at the school beginning about 9:15 am (you should be there by 9:00am.) Meetings start the week of September 6th and conclude December 13th. We usually host a graduation fishing trip to Floyd’s Fork. \nNote: The address provided below is actually the YMCA parking garage on 2nd Street.  After entering and taking your parking ticket (will be validated at the school office) proceed to either the 3rd level catwalk (for indoor meetings) or 4th level (for outdoor meetings.) \nWe have always had a great team of DCFF volunteers assisting and look to you for continued support. You do not want to miss out on this rewarding experience and you don’t need to attend every session to participate. There will be weeks when only two or three DCFF volunteers are needed. You don’t have to be an expert in all areas of fly fishing\, just basic knowledge and proficiency is all that is required. \nMike Parker will be the DCFF coordinator for this program this year. You can contact him for questions/information about the program and volunteer needs for each club meeting (kayakonthefly@gmail.com\, 530-440-5645) \nIf interested in volunteering\, contact John Froehlich (270-314-0362\, education@derbycityflyfishers.com.) He will assist with getting you setup as a volunteer and add you to the contact list the group.
