Video of the Week: Faro by Black Fly Eyes

In this Video of the Week, we head to Cameroon with Black Fly Eye Media. The same media company that brought the world of Fly Fishing Cosmoledo has just released their newest short film Faro. Faro is about finding an untouched Nile Perch fishery in Africa. Helmet Zaderers from Flyfish Adventures recently just received access to fish the Faro River in the Wilds of Cameroon. The Nile perch (Lates niloticus) is one of the most important fly fishing targets in Africa. Habitat destruction and all forms of overfishing have severely affected the distribution and density of Nile perch populations. One of the largest freshwater fish on earth, it reaches a size of up to 2 m and weighs up to 200 kg. What makes the Faro River so unique is that river and the surrounding area are an intact ecosystem creating an untouched Fly Fishing Frontier.

“Perch fishing takes place almost exclusively from just before sunset until around 22:00, so it is night fishing. At this time, the perch go in search of food. Few can be caught during the day, but more by chance. Flyfishing at night has its own charm. Not everyone likes it at first, but you can learn it quickly. And being under the stars, immersed in the sounds of the African wilderness, is a truly extraordinary experience. So sit down and enjoy as Helmet and Black Fly Eyes Media explores the wilds of the Faro River.

Ballot Initiative Introduced in Oregon to Ban Hunting and Fishing

Ballot Initiative Introduced in Oregon to Ban Hunting and Fishing

It seems like once a year a state bill gets introduced somewhere that would outlaw hunting and fishing on the grounds of animal cruelty. Oregon Initiative Petition 13 (IP 13) has left the desk of Oregon’s Secretary of State for circulation in July and under Oregon’s initiative petition process, IP 13 organizers have until July 2022 to gather the 112,020 signatures needed to get the initiative onto the November 2022 ballot.

According to Yahoo News “The proposal, Initiative Petition 13, would lift virtually all exemptions to state laws related to animal abuse, neglect, and sexual assault. The vast majority would ban common farming practices from artificial insemination used in targeted breeding and killing live animals for meat. Farm animals could only be raised for rodeos, milk or fur and could be spayed, neutered and castrated.”

If the initiative is successful it will ban the harvest of any animal by hunting, fishing, and trapping and will only allow a self-defense exception. It will also criminalize common animal husbandry practices, slaughter for food, and common breeding practices, such as artificial insemination.

This initiative, like the many that have come before it, is very unlikely to pass the vote and become law. However, it is a sign to hunters and anglers to be more conscious of the non-hunting-and-angling crowd’s eyes, and ensure that we’re showing the utmost respect to the animals we target during our time on the water and in the field.

4-Year-Old Lands Potential World Record Golden Trout

Caroline May Evans was fishing on a Wyoming alpine lake when a hefty California Golden Trout took her lure and potentially netted her a chance at an IGFA “Smallfry” World Record.

IGFA’s Small Fry category is set up for boys and girls age 10 or younger. They must abide by all IGFA international angling rules “with the exception that fish do not have to be weighed on land.”

For the sake of comparison, the IGFA’s overall world record for golden trout stands at 11 pounds. That fish was caught by Chas Reed at Cooks Lake, Wyoming, in 1948.

How to Tie: The Quill Gordon

In this week’s “How to Tie” video feature, Down By The River gives us an exceptional tutorial on how to tie the Quill Gordon dry fly.

Difficulty: Easy

The Quill Gordon dry fly is one of the first classics to come out of American fly fishing. Tied by Theodore Gordon for Catskills fishing, this fly implements the simple, yet technical aspect of many traditional patterns designed for the chalk streams of England. When it comes to simplicity, it does not get more basic than the Quill Gordon. A key component of making this fly effective is correct proportions, which may be the most difficult part of tying this classic.

Although technicality plays a large roll in this fly, it comes down to finding the right material. Local fly shops are your best option when finding hackle that will satisfy the proportions and profile for the Quill Gordon. Modern science has created genetic diversity in rooster capes and hackle that makes selection far more convenient than during the 1890s when this fly was created. Choosing a classic pattern will undoubtedly bring a smile to any dry fly purists face, but all anglers should remember the versatility of simply dry flies.

Using only four materials to tie allows for endless variations to imitate several adult insect species on the water. Combining different colored bodies and hackles will serve exceptionally during hatches, especially for mayflies and the common mosquito. The next time mayflies are coming off on your favorite trout stream, catch one and take note of size and color to transfer later on your vise. The Quill Gordon will bring you back to the origins of American fly fishing and certainly fill your net with trout in the most traditional way possible.

Ingredients:

Now you know how to tie the Quill Gordon.

Gear Review: AxisGO Waterproof Case for iPhone

In this Gear Review, we will be taking a look at the new and improved AxisGO underwater housing for iPhone from AquaTech Imaging Solutions. The AxisGO is a completely waterproof phone casing that is designed to fit around your specific iPhone Model. Equipped with a 6″ acrylic dome lens and an optional pistol grip for ease of shooting – the AxisGO is a great solution for any fishing photographers looking to take their game to the next level without breaking the bank. Recently, we had a chance to get our hands on the new and improved iPhone 12 casing. Check out our thoughts and experiences below.

axisGO in action

Initial Impressions:

We here at Flylords are no strangers to Aquatech’s products. Since the very beginning, capturing the mystical underwater world of trout, bonefish, and anything else that swims has been at the top of our shot lists. Over the years we’ve developed a special relationship with AT’s products, and can rarely be caught on a trip without them.

Ever seen a Grayling in Colorado?

This all being said, in the realm of fairness, we met the cardboard box on our doorstep with equal scrutiny to any other piece of gear we planned to review. Upon opening, we found our assumptions to be true in that not much had changed about the construction of the case since the prior model. Now, before you assume that could be marked as a negative – consider it more in the realm of: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. We loved the original case, and besides it being able to securely fit an iPhone 12, it hadn’t been subject to any unnecessary changes purely in the vein of accommodating new bells and whistles.

Our model came equipped with the case, the lens, and a pistol grip that attached to the phone via Bluetooth to take photos. Once we placed the phone inside the case, it securely snapped closed and was pretty much ready to go. The case passed the office inspection, but as well all know, that doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t hold up in the field.

Field Testing:

First stop: Sweden. In a recent arctic adventure that took place in the scenic hills of Swedish Lapland, we enjoyed some of the county’s unparalleled majesty as we tossed little dry flies underneath the relentless rays of the midnight sun. Cast after cast, we witnessed massive Arctic Grayling come up to the surface for an unexpected lip piercing and the ride of a lifetime. In documenting these fish, we wanted to take into careful consideration when handling them and keep them submerged for as long as possible. Being cold water species, such as trout and salmon, these fish are fragile, and in the heat of the summer, something as simple as a photo can in some cases prove fatal.

This is where the underwater housing really works its magic. In being able to capture these beautiful native fish in their natural environment, we’re rewarded such an experience that is as much a privilege for us as it is for the fish. With only a quick dip and a few seconds of squeezing the trigger, we were able to send these fish on their way – where they will most likely never encounter another angler again. The AxisGO allows us to capture a diverse array of shots, such as underwater, half and half, and fully emerged (even with the housing on), without sacrificing any clarity.

Moving forward a few weeks, we made our way back to Colorado. One of our favorite activities in the Rockies is packing away a half day’s worth of gear, and 3 day’s worth of lunch to hike our way up to scenic alpine lakes in pursuit of lesser-pressured cutthroat trout. When packing for these missions, it’s important to take into consideration that we will be doing a fair bit of walking, mostly uphill for that matter, so every piece of gear we want to bring has to fit on our backs.

It’s here that the AxisGO boasts its versatility, as its lightweight and compact design allow it to fit easily in the bottom of anyone pack without adding any noticeable additional weight. Normally, to capture the caliber of shots we were aiming for, a large underwater housing system and a DSLR would have to consume the entirety of someone’s bag, thus using up essential space that could be allocated to essential fermented hydration cans (in layman’s terms: beer).

Once we reached the top and settled in, the bite was ON! Large red-bellied cutties shot up like nuclear missiles to consume gently placed foam caddis flies. Underneath the surface, we were able to record their heads thrashing and tails pulsating against the unfamiliar sting of the hook, capturing some breathtaking images of not only these beautiful trout, but the magnificent landscape that surrounded them. As soon as we had had our fill of explosive eats and unsettling exchanges of outrageous laughter, we returned to the trailhead to head down. Without the burden of any worry, we slipped the AxisGO right back into its neoprene lens cover and stowed it away for the next adventure.

Conclusion:

What we consider so special about the AxisGO, is that it brings the ability to shoot great photos underwater to anyone. Considering the emphasis on the Keep Fish Wet movement, and taking extra special care of the fragile resources that are our coldwater fisheries, it’s now more than ever that we as anglers and photographers have to find ways to adapt towards more ecological and environmental means of capturing our experiences on the water. For anyone looking to continue developing fishing content, we greatly encourage you to look into purchasing a means of shooting underwater.

If you’re looking to take your fishing photography to the next level, but don’t have $4-5k to drop on some fancy camera housing and a DSLR, the AxisGO is not only a perfect alternative but an excellent solution. Considering its compact size, weight, and it’s extremely friendly consumer interface, this underwater is the perfect tool for professional-looking photography at a fraction of the price.

Dry Fly or Die: A Youth Mental Health Story

“Come on, Steve!” I pleaded, exasperated. “For the last time, Mij, I’m not going! Fishing’s for…old people,” Steve retorted, waving his hands as though he were trying to swat a fly away. Which, in all fairness, he probably was: me.

“Well you don’t actually have to fish, you can just enjoy the pretty river and beautiful
trees,” I explained, gesturing to an imaginary scene. Steve fake-laughed. “Enjoy the pretty river and beautiful trees? Nice one, Mij.” Steve scowled.

“Steve, you have to find something to do outside, especially with what you said about
suicide on the bus! Besides, you don’t have to do that, they’re just suggestions. There are a lot of things you can do by the river.” I explained.

“Sure, but fishing? No thanks,” Steve spat, clearly disgusted by the thought, “and how
do you know I wasn’t just joking about suicide?”

“I’ve heard you joke about suicide, Steve. What you said was different.” I scolded,
“Steve, you do not have to fish, you don’t even have to cast! Unless you want to, which you don’t, but you could if you wanted to try. Steve, research has shown that getting outside improves all kinds of health! If you like fishing – or you know, just being outside – it could really help you!”

We were walking back to his house and were almost there when Steve stopped suddenly
and turned on his heels to completely face me. He gripped my shoulders, digging his fingers into my skin, his head facing his worn-out sneakers.

“I’m gonna say this one more time, Mij,” Steve said, his voice low and grave. My heart
beat fast, even though I knew he wasn’t going to hurt me. Steve looked up, his dark eyes
bearing into my own ocean orbs. “I appreciate the offer and concern, but I don’t want to go
fishing.” Steve growled, the way he bore his teeth reminding me of a wolf.

I was going to get him fishing. I had tried everything else. He didn’t like hiking; he
didn’t like biking; when he had tried paddle-boarding, it was a mess; rafting went so bad
somebody needs to protect the man who invented rafting; wakeboarding was so bad just the word “wakeboarding” is a word we do not mention around Steve; when we tried water-skiing, the result was the same; and because of his experience, any kind of snow sport is a cursed activity to Steve. The only things I hadn’t tried were canoeing and fly fishing, and I didn’t know how to canoe.

I sighed and shook my head. “Alright, Steve, you don’t want to go. But you have to understand that you can’t fight the proof! I overheard my dad talking to a professional mental health counselor about doctors prescribing patients getting outside, and I fact-checked it!” I said, ripping Steve’s tightly wound hands off of my shoulders.

“You fact-checked it? What, did you google it?” He shot back. I crossed my arms and
stared him down. “No, actually, I called someone who happens to specialize in the science behind getting children outside,” I retorted, “She said if kids don’t interact with nature, they run a greater risk of mental illness, hurting themselves, or even hurting somebody else!” Steve groaned loudly in frustrated annoyance.

I pulled my “you know I’m right” look on him and he slapped his forehead. “Well, I don’t care–” He snarled, his face sour. “Yes, you do, I can see it.” I snapped. “Ugh, fine! I’ll take it into consideration!” Steve shouted, probably just to get me to stop. I sighed and went with it. “Thank you. I’ll…see you tomorrow.” I grumbled, knowing he was so not going to even give a hoot about it once I left. I had to think of something else.

I exhaled slowly the next day at school as I approached Steve. Scott, another friend of
ours who was also in on the plan, shot me a thumbs up and made up an excuse to leave. I
nodded at Scott in a friendly, yet grateful “hello,” and turned to Steve. He let out an
exasperated sigh and smiled sarcastically at me. My heart beat fast, knowing what I was about to do.

“Well, I thought about it, and I’ve decided that I will not be joining you on your
fishing trip,” Steve stated, seeming proud of himself. He even had a smug, but annoyed look plastered on his face and leaned back in the flimsy chair he was sitting in with his arms folded. I shook the nervous look on my face and replaced it with a disappointed but understanding face.

“That’s okay, I had to cancel it anyway,” I said, which was mostly true. I was only going
if he was coming with me. If he agreed to what I was about to ask, I would only
be…unofficially prescribing our fishing trip. Steve raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“Really? Well, I sure hope it didn’t have anything to do with me,” he said sarcastically.
“Oh, it did, but don’t feel bad, these things are just bound to happen to me,” I said,
sighing dramatically,“But–um–” I exhaled, keeping a straight face. Did I really want to do this? Yes, I did. Research proves getting outside amplifies happiness and all kinds of health.

I put on a similar sarcastic smile and leaned against the table with my left hand.
“Me, Scott, and Rose, are going to the movies Friday. We wanted to know if you were
maybe interested in coming? We’re going to see that movie you’ve been dying to see,” I
taunted. Steve stared me down, questioning my honesty. I could tell he really wanted to see that movie. Steve decided I was trustworthy after a few moments of what I hoped was a convincing face and he nodded. “Sure, I’ll come. When are you guys doing it? Also I need a ride.”

My tense shoulders finally relaxed and I slid into a chair next to Steve. “Great! Friday,
6:30 pm, I’ll give you a ride.” It was way too late to turn back now. Steve had taken the bite, I couldn’t lose it.

Steve nodded once and returned to his computer. I pushed out my chair and walked to
my seat. Then I pulled out my phone and texted our group chat of Scott, Rose, and I that we had titled Project: Steve. Steve’s in. I typed. I received a thumbs up and a sweet.
I’ll pick him up to go to Color Creek at 6:30 pm, and meet you two there. Does that sound good? I typed. Another thumbs up and a yup.

Scott returned from his made-up excuse and shot me a thumbs up and wink. I smiled
friendly at him and breathed out slowly. Whether what we were doing was right or wrong, the plan was in motion and there was no way we could back out now. Steve was a few minutes late as he was trying to get his stuff together, which gave me a few extra minutes to securely hide the rod tubes. As I saw Steve make his way towards the door, I scrambled to get in the car so that Steve wouldn’t suspect anything. I exhaled steadily,
gathering my confidence. This was going to work. Research showed it. Steve climbed into the car and I smiled at him.

“Alright, Steve, you ready?” I asked, masking my insecurities with the same friendly
smile I always tried to keep on. Steve nodded and I put the car in drive.

I tried to keep him as busy as I could while we drove, but once I made a turn into the
woods, Steve tensed up. “Mij, what is this?” Steve inquired, his voice quivering from anger.
“Well, aren’t you an observant cookie? Welcome to the woods.” I replied with every
ounce of confidence I could muster. Steve’s face turned red from both embarrassment and
anger.

“You lied to me? I thought you had respected my answer when I said I didn’t want to
go fishing!” Steve cried. I swallowed. “Steve, you cannot be talking about suicide and expect me to not do anything,” I replied stubbornly. Steve slammed his fists against the seat. “I trusted you,” he whispered. “Look, Steve. I am…not sorry that I lied to you because I know this will help you,” I said carefully. “Help me? Do you think I need to be fixed?” Steve scowled. “Did I say that I was trying to fix you?” I growled, getting frustrated with his stubbornness. “You said yourself you just wanted to be happy –” “Do I look happy?!?” Steve yelled. “Look, I don’t know if this will work– I never know if anything I do will work! I have no clue if getting you out here the way I did was anywhere near a good idea, but I do know, for a fact, that finding you a hobby outside will help you with your depression!” I shouted back,panting. Then, after exhaling slowly to calm my adrenaline, “So if you could please just try one more time, I promise I’ll never drag you into something like this again.”
Steve seemed shocked at my outburst, but once he took in my words, his face softened.
He sighed in disbelief at himself and looked at me, his expression a mix of annoyance and
sympathy.

“Alright, I’ll try it,” he grumbled. I was waiting for that “but…” in every movie I’d ever
seen, but it never came. Steve only shook his head in incredulous belief, then pushed past me. I followed him after he was a few feet ahead of me and was surprised to hear him ask for a fishing rod. Finally, after a few minutes of painful struggle, Steve let down his edgy guard and allowed me to teach him the basics. Cast, mend, set, and strip.
Scott hollered, “There are cicadas everywhere!”

I quickly added some 3x to Steve’s leader and a perfect little clicker imitation. I smiled,
then ran and got my own fishing rod, so I could join the fishing fun.
“It’s a big one, too,” Steve said excitedly after we’d casted a few times. Sure enough,
once we helped him pull it in, a fish at least 18 inches had Steve’s hook piercing its mouth. I unhooked it and handed it to Steve.

“Congratulations. You’ve caught a huge fish,” I said, “Do you want to take a picture
with it?”

Steve nodded vigorously. “Yes! I need to put it on my story.” He exclaimed excitedly.
I pulled out my battered phone and took a few pictures. After I showed him the
results, he tossed the rather-large fish back into the icy waters of the river. He turned to me, a wide smile on his face.“Well, Mij, I’m impressed. I never thought in a million years that I would find fishing as a hobby, but here we are. Thanks, Mij.”

I smiled and nodded in a silent “you’re welcome.” Then, in a child-like manner, Steve
excitedly asked, “Do you think we could do this again?”

Utah Judge Strikes Tough Blow Against the Fight for Public Stream Access in Utah

Utah Judge Strikes Tough Blow Against the Fight for Public Stream Access in Utah

Since 2011, the Utah Stream Access Coalition has been fighting a case constitutionally challenging Utah’s “Public Waters Access Act“. Sadly, the Coalition’s challenge was struck down by Judge Derek Pullan on August 16th, 2021. You can read more about the decision and its impacts in the press release below:

From the Utah Stream Access Coalition:

Utah’s Fourth District Court Issues Decision on USAC’s “Right to Use” Case

The Coalition filed a constitutional challenge to HB 141, Utah’s ill-considered Public Waters Access Act, in April 2011. This case eventually made its way to the Utah Supreme Court, which resulted in a remand to the district court to determine a threshold issue: whether there is basis in historical fact–in the understanding of public easements in the late 19th century–for the easement recognized in Conatser v. Johnson.

Yesterday, Judge Derek Pullan granted the Utah Attorney General’s and Victory Ranch Acquisitions’ Motion for Summary Judgment. In so doing, Judge Pullan ruled: “[t]he Coalition has come forward with substantial evidence that in the last half of the 19th century, Utahns widely and freely touched and used both public and private beds of Utah’s lakes, rivers, and streams for a variety of purposes, including recreation. But, the Coalition has failed to prove that this historical use gave rise to a public easement dictated by our law in the late 19th Century.”

While we are deeply disappointed by this decision, which comes after more than a decade of effort in Utah’s courts, the Coalition is in the process of digesting Judge Pullan’s ruling and determining our strategy moving forward. USAC’s Board of Directors will be meeting later this week, and will provide an update on our next steps to restore access.

It is important to note that nothing in this ruling diminishes what USAC previously accomplished in establishing navigability of the Weber River, or what we stand to accomplish in the future with other navigable rivers.

As always, we appreciate your continued support and we look forward to continuing the fight to restore access.

An Allure for the Golden Trout

An Allure for the Golden Trout

Golden trout have the reputation of being some of the best-looking yet hardest to find trout in the world.

They live in some of the most beautiful places. Small creeks and glacial lakes at 10,000 – 12,000 feet. Although they are not native to these areas, they have flourished.

These trout live in mostly untouched waters above the treeline surrounded by jagged mountains, stunning wildflowers, and rugged terrain.

On big snow years, golden trout may only see open water for three months, spending the other nine encapsulated under the ice.

In other years, the lakes never fully thaw, leaving small windows for when you can catch them. Most areas require at least a 10-mile hike and the trail fades out halfway.

You can definitely count on spending a good portion of the day getting there.

Navigating around the lakes can be a journey itself with 10 to 20-foot boulders lining the edges.

These fish do not come easy but you gain a sense of accomplishment from the entire experience.

Some areas can be accessed by long day hikes, but camping gives you everything the mountains and fishing have to offer.

Golden trout can be finicky, refusing everything in your box which makes them even more daunting.

Their presence can be memorizing, you don’t even have to catch them to appreciate the beauty.

Time slows down in the high country and your attention to every detail is heightened.

They have such a distinct color that glistens in the pristine water. For me, golden trout fishing is about the exploration.

Getting outside and discovering everything that the mountains have to offer.

There is always a new lake to find and a unique Golden Trout in it. California is full of gold, you just got to get out and find it!

Golden trout is the reward, but the journey is what gets you coming back for more.
