SUMMARY:North Carolina Trip - Fall 2024 (CANCELED)
DESCRIPTION:Canceled due to flooding and storm damage from Hurricane Helene \nLocation: Waynesville\, NC \nDates: October 8 – 11\, 2024 (Tues thru Fri) \nCoordinators:\nMichael Ragan\, meragan1022@gmail.com\, 502-489-7078 \nMike Parker\, mparker@derbycityflyfishers.com\, 530-440-5645 \nLevel 2 Trip – You Should be able to manage your leader and tippet and tie-on flies.  You should also be able to cast at least 30 feet. 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. You must reserve by Sept 20\, 2024 to get the negotiated price. The Econo Lodge provides a complimentary continental breakfast starting at 6:00am. 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: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:Fly Tying Cabela's
DESCRIPTION:Club member Jason Scannell will be tying a variation of the low fat minnow developed by Cheech of Fly Fish Food. He will be tying a standard size and a smaller size often referred to as the baby fat minnow. This pattern can imitate a variety of fish and the possibilities are only limited by the tyer’s imagination. Jason has used it locally to catch smallmouth and largemouth bass. As well as hybrid striped bass and white bass. It is a fairly simple fly to tie but it is best tied with UV resin. \nMaterials list:\nRegular:\nHook: Gamakatsu carp A-1 size 4\nThread: 140 denier thread; prefer white but others can be used to provide contrast\nBody:  \n\nHareline Bruiser Blend alpha wolf and cream colors\nWhite and black marabou\nUV polar chenille black\n\nEyes: 5mm 3d eyes\nMisc: Clear UV resin \nBaby version:\nHook: Gamakatsu carp A-1 super size 8\nBody: \n\nHareline Bruiser Blend hidden treasure and cream\nWhite marabou\n\nEyes: 3mm 3d eyes \nMisc: Clear UV resin \nOur 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.
