6th General Meeting!
 "Annual
BFC Holiday Party"
Please
come to our Annual Holiday Party at our meeting place .
. . "A Spice of Life Events Center". As usual,
we'll be munching on goodies provided by the club and spreading
lots of holiday cheer. And as we've done for a number of
years, bring a gift (fishing related & of low value)
to exchange with other club members. It's always fun and
great for a laugh or two!!
Also this year, we'll be having Chuck Howard from St. Vrain
Anglers, who will give us a short presentation on the new
stream walk that their chapter helped construct from Lyons
to Longmont along the St. Vrain River. Quite a long river
walk and very beautiful, I might add! He's got a number of
slides and factual information that we might be able to use
for Middle Boulder and South Boulder Creek projects.
Please plan on joining us for all the festivities and delicious
snacks!! |
| President's
Pool ~ Youth Night at BFC featuring 9 year old, Tyler
Befus
 When
the Board agreed to get behind a special youth night featuring
Tyler Befus on a Friday night in November there was some
concern about a good turnout. Such fears turned out to be
unfounded as 75 members and guests including 25 kids attended
this special event. If you didn’t make it, you truly missed
a terrific evening.!

| Secret
Spots by Mike Malec, Membership Chairman
 As
a fly fisherman, you are always on the lookout for a new
secret spot. Somewhere where the fishing is always good,
you never pick the wrong bug, hundred fish days are the norm
and you never see another boot print in the sand. Mike will
take you on a journey of some favorite fishing spots, secret
spots as Mike would have it, that have filled his life with
joy, not to mention big fish!
I know you'll enjoy what Mike has to offer in "Mike's
Secret Spots".

do we do it? by Paul Prentiss
 “The
holy grail of any angling venture is a trout large enough
to put up a meaningful fight on the tackle you are using
and capable of spitting in your eye if you screw up. Read

New
York & Pennsylvania Big Fish on the Cheap by
Bill Marx, vagabond editor at large
Growing up in Chicago I had seen great changes in Lake Michigan.
As a child I seined minnows at 6:00 am every summer morning
with my friend, Ronnie. We sold our larder to waiting fishermen
and by 7:00 am, keeping a dozen or so minnows for ourselves,
we settled into our spot on Farwell Street pier for a morning
of perch fishing. The perch were big and plentiful then. Each
day we returned home by noon carrying our seining net, empty
minnow buckets, cane poles, small tackle box and a few good
fish for an impromptu lunch.
Just a taste of Bill's article about some giant catches on
a low budget trip any one of us can take, fishing the tributaries
of the Great Lakes. Bill has the answer for us to be successful

Fly
of the Month, CDC Caddis by Ron Donahue
CDC Caddis - Recipe
Hook: Tiemco 101, size 14 - 16
Thread: Brown 6/0
Abdomen: CDC Rope-Brown
Wing: Web Wing Yellow, Mottled
Hackle: Brown
Antennae: Root Beer, midge flash
Tying Instructions:
Step 1: Start thread 1/3 from hook eye and tie backwards to
bend of hook.
Step 2: Tie in commercial CDC rope or make CDC dubbing loop.
Wrap forward to end of thread wrap which gives the hook 2/3
covering of CDC.
Step 3: Clip a piece of Yellow mottled Web Wing, hook-gap wide
and slightly longer than the hook. Taper the tie in end slightly
to reduce bulk, wrap forward over the Web Wing to the eye.
Step 4: Take two pieces of Root Beer Midge Flash and tie in
forward to simulate antennae.
Step 5: Tie in brown hackle at the 1/3 mark and make hackle
wraps forward to 1hook eye distance behind eye.
Step 6: Finish head. Clip wing case to shape and length desired,
usually slightly longer than hook. Trim antennae to balance
fly, usually 1/2 length of fly..
Suggestions on how to fish:
If you are fishing rough, turbulent water, skip this pattern
and choose a Humpy style fly pattern. This pattern is ideal
for slow water and lakes. Floats well. Tie it in gray for early
amd late season and in brown for all summer Caddis drys. Grease
the leader and use power type floatant to revive the CDC.
