Cascade Family Fly Fishers is a club dedicated to improving our local waterways, preserving this precious resource for future
generations. Most importantly we are fly tiers, trout bums and steelheaders who love to spend time on the water learning and living
the craft that is flyfishing. We are teachers and students, mentors to youth and to each other. We are friends and we are families!
General Meeting location is Wesley United Methodist Church, 1385 Oakway Rd. Eugene. 4th Thursday of Each month. Meeting
starts @ 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Fly tying demonstration from 6:15 pm. Board meetings are open to everyone on the 2nd Thursday of
the month at 6:00 PM at Wesley United Church Methodist Church.

The Prez Sez
The picnic is coming! The picnic is coming! This is
my favorite event of the year. All the members and
their families get together to visit, share stories,
bring their favorite dish to a potluck barbeque,
hosted by the Overalls, on the bank of the McKenzie
River. You should already have received an Invitation.
Remember to check and see which type of dish you
are supposed to bring. I am hoping everyone is able
to attend. Don’t forget to bring a chair and a couple
of good stories.
I would like to thank Kat and Frank Paiva for hosting
the East Lake outing. I heard the fishing was good
and the fishing was tough. Either way, everyone had
a good time in this beautiful caldera, nestled in the
mountains of eastern Oregon.
I had the opportunity to participate in the Small
Streams Outing, hosted by Al Corbin, filling in for
Glenn Miller. We all met at the covered bridge in
Westfir. Al gave a great presentation on gear, flies,
and tactics for fishing small streams. We broke into
small groups and fished the beautiful, clear waters
for wild trout on the North Fork of the Willamette
River. What a terrific outing. I had such a great time, I
have returned twice since then. Thanks to Al Corbin,
John Higby and Dennis Munroe for being group
leaders.
The next Cascade Family Great Adventure will be the
first Annual Gold Lake Fishing Derby held on
September 8-9 th. For more information, talk to Joe
and Dennis at the picnic or check our website at
www.cascadefamilyflyfishers.com
Elections are coming up. The nomination process has
started. We are looking forward to seeing some new
faces in the club leadership. If you are interested,
please talk to Steve Overall or myself.
Finally, my best wishes go out to Glenn Miller who
is recovering from surgery. Looking forward to him
being back on his feet and fishing with us again.
See you all at the picnic.

For those of you interested in fishing the picturesque Metolious river, we will be heading over on
September 14th and stay until September 16th. You are welcome to come for a day or the whole
weekend. The host campground will be Smiling River but if cabins are your speed, there are
various rentals nearby. This is a primarily wade/walk river with access being fairly easy. We plan
to organize a potluck on Saturday night for anyone interested. Sign up sheet will be at the picnic.
Suggested equipment: waders (unless you're into frigid wet wading), comfy wading shoes,
wading staff, a 3-6wt rod and 9-12' leaders and fluorocarbon for nymphing. This is one of the
best times of year to fish this river due to crazy hatches. The fish can be finicky as always. If
interested please contact Mike Marlatt at [email protected]
Mike will host two gatherings at Smiling River Campground at Dennis' campsite #12 for those
interested.
Friday evening: come by for a Q&A with Mike on fishing the Metolious and enjoy conversation
around the campfire.
Saturday evening: Pot Luck at 5:00 P.M…just bring what you have to share. Why so early? There
is often a great hatch in the evening this time of year. We’ll eat early and get out for that hatch
and fish until dusk!

Sponsors: Joe Moody - 541-510-2616 - [email protected]
Dennis Munroe - 541-729-9670 - [email protected] This new outing on our schedule is a high Cascade lake a mile west of 5,126 foot Willamette Pass. Gold Lake is one half mile long and covers 100 acres. It has a maximum depth of 25 feet, but we will be fishing in less than 10 feet of water most the time. An intermediate or type 3 line works very well here. This lake has a lot of structure, weed beds, fallen logs, etc. The lake's shallow areas are very fertile and support a self-sustaining population of both brook trout and rainbow trout. Most brookies range from 9-12 inches, the larg-er rainbows range from 12-18 inches. There are some hogs (ODFW has a photo of a rainbow caught and released here last summer that was 28" long and estimated at 10 pounds plus). ALL RAINBOWS MUST BE RELEASED!
Gold Lake is flyfishing only with barbless hooks. No motors are allowed on the lake. It is almost impossible to fish from shore, so a pontoon, float tube or drift boat is necessary. The north and east shores were most productive for us last summer.
Gold Lake has large, shallow productive areas. It supports large populations of damsels, callibaetis may-flies, chironomids, scuds, water beetles and leeches. Effective fly patterns for when we will be there could be prince, pheasant tail, soft hackles, scuds, and various leech patterns.
ODFW estimates there are 15,000 rainbows and 30,000 brook trout in the lake. They feel the brook trout population is way over populated and stunted. Thus, they encourage anglers to keep as many as possible - no limit on brookies. To support ODFW in an effort to try to achieve a more balanced population, we are for the first time sponsoring the CFF GOLD LAKE DERBY. An annually rotating trophy (and congratulatory back slaps) will reward the winner. Competition will be from 1-4 PM and the winner will be the person who catches the most brook trout. You are encouraged to keep the brookies you catch and we will end the day about 4:00 PM with a Bob Wolfe fish fry. More detail on the contest and fish fry will be given out at a later date. No one has to participate in the derby…if you prefer to release your fish that us just fine. Gold Lake is a serene lake in a beautiful setting so come and enjoy all it has to offer.
To get to Gold Lake take Highway 58 to Oakridge, continue on 58 for 23 miles. About 2 miles past the Wal-do Lake turnoff (just past mile post 61), look for the Gold Lake sign. Turn left onto Forest Road 500 (Gold Lake Road) 2 miles into the lake. There is a nice campground there and a fairly large parking area by the boat ramp. There is a parking fee required. The Northwest Forest pass and (for those over 62) the America the Beautiful pass, are both honored here (the Golden Ager pass is not).
Dennis will be there a day early to stake out a campsite large enough for our group fish fry. We’ll meet there at noon Saturday September 8 to teach how to identify Brook Trout and explain the Derby rules and logis-tics. Come join the fun and compansionship!

The Donner Und Blitzen River in South Eastern Oregon is a beautiful creek sized river in a small valley. It’s near the Steens Mountains and south of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. The redband trout are exceptional. This is a small wading steam with great fish between 9 and 15” , with larger fish present and all wild fish. Recently the regulations changed to catch and release. The Blitzen is a walk-in stream with more than 5 miles of fishable river available above Paige Springs Campground. Everything is beautiful and the hiking mostly easy. By late September the rattlesnakes that abound in July have gone to sleep. The temperatures are in the 70’s plus during the day with night temperatures dropping sometimes into the mid 30’s. The Campground is very nice and spacious with birds, deer and trees. No reservations are allowed, so it’s first come first served (or arrange with me). The Blitzen is about 70 miles south of Burns near Frenchglen, in near isolation, but there are amenities for non-fishers. The area is full of history, including the name “Donner und Blitzen” which is German for thunder and lightning. Hiking trails, scenic drives and bird watching can complement the fishing for all who come. There is also Krumbo Reservoir about 20 miles north of the Blitzen…if you need a really BIG fish experience.
Be prepared for cold nights (possible freeze and warm sunny days. Wet wading is possible, but maybe not first thing in the morning. Bring all the food you need as there is only a small convenience store in Frenchglen. Gas up in Burns as the store is very expensive and has limited hours. Meals are also available with reservations at the two local hotels. Evening meals are fantastic and served family style.

“I’m so happy for you.” It’s a sentiment usually
expressed after a surprise announcement such as
engagement or impending birth. In fly fishing circles
however, it means something totally different. In fly
fishing circles the phrase means, why the heck are
you catching fish and I’m not?
Some of us experienced this situation at East Lake in
July. Fishing partners, often with the same line, fly,
and water position, would sit and watch their partners
catch fish after fish while their line merrily bobbed
around. This did not make for a happy fisher. But
things change, and the next day everyone caught fish
or some caught none at all. It’s the nature of the
sport. That’s why it called Fishing and not Guaranteed
Catching.
About sixteen of us had a great time up at East Lake
this year. Coming and going, sharing hot fishing
spots, trying out flies that Rod Roth so graciously tied
for our group, eating, laughing, and telling fish tales.
Marv always brings a delicious Thelma-created
dessert for Friday night potluck, and this year was no
exception. Her cherry pie must have weighed about 7
lbs!
It was gone in a jiffy. Paula Erickson whipped up
some delicious cinnamon rolls that were quickly
picked up for weekend breakfasts, and hot dogs and
baked beans were devoured all around.
The Kokanee were particularly active this year. Get
one on the line and you were guaranteed an aerial
jump-a-thon. Norm Domagala took Frank and I out in
his boat one warm afternoon. Norm was in the back,
fishing and minding the tiller, Frank was in the
middle, and I was sitting in the front munching half of
a giant Tootsie Roll. Frank hooked up a Kokanee who
leaped out of the water. When the fish jumped he
looked over at me he saw that Tootsie Roll and
thought, “Wow, look at the size of the cased caddis!”
and jumped in the boat. Seriously. Dang near hit me
in the face. I scooped him up, threw him in a net, and
put him in the water to revive him. He was not
pleased that he missed out on that “caddis” but now
we both have a story to tell.
The weather was warm, and we had a great time
floating around in a dormant caldera catching
rainbows, Blackwater rainbows, Kokanee, and big
beautiful browns on nymphs (Fred’s callibaetis ruled),
chironomids, and dries. Hope you can join us July 11-
14th next year!
What a hatch!

Mosquitos are all over us as we eagerly pile out of the rig.
Time to get out---we've been driving an hour over these
eight rough miles---to the end of Taylor Burn Road. We
walk a mile in native forest, past Emma Lake, then into the
1996 burn. Transitioning from the unburned forest, stark
openness and sharp beauty surrounds us. We traverse
amongst sunlit colors of silver, tan and black--wonderfully
splashed by wildflowers. Varietal small conifers,
interspersed over the reddish-tan loose earth, seem to
wink at us as we stride by. This wilderness scene is
crowned by large, roving, cotton-like cloud clumps, dancing
in azure summer skies. Wahanna Lake (5261ʼ) appears to
the east, surrounded by burnt and bark less trees, the
lakes perimeter a tinge of living green. From atop a rocky
promontory we gaze westerly upon the shimmery blue-
green wind-warbled surface of Harvey Lake (5208ʼ). From
Harvey Lake with map and compass, we set our westerly
route---toward our destination of the marshy secluded flats
of the upper North Fork. Now the true tromp begins! For
the next long hour, we seldom enjoy more than two
uncontested steps in a row. No easy path exists. Through
terrain and impediments commanding constant attention to
foot placement, let alone directional navigation, we
negotiate the tangled jungle of dry, brittle, snapping,
popping, twisting, turning and loose boulder strewn forest.
Pommel horse style, we cross over trees too thick to crawl
under. We walk the backs of prone trees. Sometimes we
find ourselves high atop stumps and tangles of charred
remnant trees, coming to a standstill before eventually
choosing the safest probable route to continue. Sharp and
brittle snags are everywhere. We are surrounded by
unlimited beautiful obstacles to assess and traverse. After
negotiating this taxingly gorgeous maze, as if we have
passed the initial endurance test, our next task is
navigating an extensive forest fringe carpeted with tangles
of berry vines and lush greenery that often obscure the
downed trees and their parts. Where is our little river
running through a meadow? Finally, and sweating
profusely, we enter a lush green bog---in ankle deep water
from time to time with several narrow channels coursing
through eye catching flora and spiced by red Indian
Paintbrush. We are within an amazing swath of softer,
verdant livingness sporadically spiked by tall, towering,
silver and black hard dead trees. Ahh, and here she is---
crystalline, wrinkling cold mountain river water---briskly
serpentining between green and colored grassy
embankments---crisscrossed by numerous sporadic silver,
leg-thick tree trunks, their standing counterparts arising to
pointed pinnacles seeming to pierce the overhead deep
blue skies. I'd walk ten times as far in these trying environs
to bask in what I am experiencing: a sunshine summer
wilderness mountain-meadow river, unmolested in her
sweet flow.
We begin fishing downstream, northerly, through a couple
hundred yards of meadow that is heavily impacted on river
left by a morass of brush tangled with dead, down and
standing trees. Our traversing, let alone accessing for
fishing, is an adventure in itself! The setting is totally wild---
no human tracks, only the living, the dying, the vibrant
water and the visitors. With reverence and 2-weight rods,
we fish the little river for three hours, covering a scant half
mile. At the brink of the meadow, the diminutive North Fork
plunges over a ten foot falls, disappearing into the
steepest, most inaccessible river canyon I have ever seen!
Little fish, three flavors: brookies, plus two varieties of
cutthroats. One in four is a colorful brook trout. The
cutthroats are either bright silver or possess a distinctly
golden tone. All the fish are jewel like, and near jewel size!
Most trout are five to seven inches long. They seem to love
any barbless fly coming their way!
We fudge on our departure time, wanting to savor as much
as possible of this prime experience. Eventually, with the
setting sun warming our backs and our hearts full of wild
energy, we begin our return, taking 90 minutes to negotiate
the dry sea of silver standing and prone forest to reach the
un-impacted regular trail. Whew! How easy is this.
Effortless! Just walk! No climbing, jumping or straddling. A
mile from the trailhead, my companion yells, “Look at that
huge bear !” Excitedly pointing toward the setting sun, he
continues, “Look, look---see it running!” I think he is
kidding. Then I watch the largest black bear I've ever seen,
running downhill through the tangles of burned forest
debris like no obstacles exist. Awestruck, we can scarcely
believe the animals size nor its dexterity! As we return to
the trailhead I look at my watch. Ten hours. Our adventure,
measured in “time”, took only 10 hours--creating an
investment for a lifetime of memories.

Have you ever attended a CFF Auction and bid on a box of flies in the Live Auction and lost out to someone who bid higher? This year that will change. This year, everyone will have an opportunity to win fly boxes filled with flies from some of your favorite CFF tyers.
Here’s how it works:
* Fly boxes/flies will be laid out on a table with a corresponding raffle ticket bucket.
* You buy raffle ticket(s), write your Bid number on the back, and place your ticket(s) in the raffle bucket in front of the flies you would like to win/buy.
* One raffle ticket will be pulled from each Fly Raffle bucket. If your ticket is pulled and your Bid number called, you win the flies and they will be hand-delivered to your table.
It’s that easy!
If you have questions, please contact Katherine or Frank Paiva at [email protected].
When CFF President Randy Beard is asked, “What’s in the Mystery Box?” all he gives us is small clues. This month’s is “Don’t get burnt when you cook.” What does this mean? He gave no other hints and his lips are sealed, though he promises “priceless” big surprises on other box contents. Last year the box was packed with fishy surprises! Contact Randy if you have something you would like to donate.
What will be in the President’s Mystery Box? Find out at the CFF Auction on Tuesday, October 23rd, at the Springfield Elks Lodge.
