November 2010
November 2010 PCTU President’s Letter
It is hard to believe that another year is drawing to a close and that the holidays are just a
few weeks away.
The October Chapter Meeting was another great one with a wide variety
of topics covered. Brandon McArthur spoke briefly about his upcoming
Eagle Scout project; the construction of an informational kiosk at / near
the North Mills River Campground. His work day is Friday, November
5th, so make sure to check it out afterwards. It was terrific that we were

able to Pisgah
donate the proceeds
Chapter fromUnlimited
Trout that night’s Al Rogers’ fly raffle to help
July 2010
defray the total cost. And many thanks to Dick Millonzi for his presentation on the
chapter’s financial results for 2010 as well as the budget for the fiscal 2011 year.
Lastly, I would also like to thank Brandon Apodoca for being our main speaker. Brandon
shared some terrific insights and tips about how to best enjoy the fly fishing opportunities
in central Colorado during the fall season. It definitely made one want to grab a plane and
try one’s luck out there.

Speaking of Brandon Apodoca, I am
pleased to announce that he has agreed to
join the PCTU Board of Directors for the
upcoming year. At the same time, I would
like to extend a warm welcome to Charlie
Dotson and Joe Moore who have also
stepped up to join the Board. It is great to
have these new members and all the experi-
Photo by Barsotti ence and ideas that they bring to the chap-
ter.
Before we all get overwhelmed with the preparations and festivities of the holidays, there
are a couple of events which deserve mentioning. The second WNC Fly Fishing Expo
will be taking place on November 6th and 7th at the WNC Agricultural Center. The hours
are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday and 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Sunday. Similar to last
year’s event, the NCTU booth will be shared by the PCTU and Land-of-Sky chapters.
This will give us a great opportunity to discuss the many projects / programs / initiatives
that our chapter has been involved with over the years. If you would like more details,
please visit the Expo’s website: wncflyfishingexpo.com.
And our regular monthly chapter meeting on November 11th will feature two of our very
own. Bob Daubert will be sharing the highlights of his Yellowstone fishing excursion this
summer and Skip Sheldon will let us
know how rewarding it was to be a
student at the Bill Oyster bamboo rod
building school.
Just a quick reminder that there is no
chapter meeting in December; so please
try to make the November one.
In closing, I would like to wish each
and every one of you a very safe and
happy holiday season with family and Photo by Barsotti
friends.
Tight Lines.

Arbuckle Scholarship Recipient
Jodi Mitchell
Dear members of the Pisgah Chapter of Trout Unlimited,
am this year’s recipient of the William Arbuckle Scholarship
I and I am writing to send my utmost gratitude to your group!
I was born and raised in the piedmont
region of North Carolina – more spe-
cifically, about fifteen miles south of
Raleigh. Beach trips were a weekly oc-
currence for most of my childhood and I
was constantly going fishing with my
father. I am currently a junior at
North Carolina State University working
towards a degree in Fisheries and Wild-
life Sciences. I have plans to attend
veterinary school in the future and am
primarily interested in fish health and
medicine. The aquaculture industry is
growing rapidly in the United States and there is a need for vet-
erinarians specializing in fish. I am also interested in the
conservation of wild populations of fish and hope to be able to
contribute something to that field as well.
The money provided by this scholarship will help me to continue
to pay for my education and I am very grateful that I was deemed
an appropriate recipient. I will continue to strive for excel-
lence in all that I do and make the most of my time and North
Carolina State University.
Sincerely,
Jodi Mitchell

Little River Stocking
October 6, 2010
(By Jack Soyak: questions on the article or pictures please call at 692-5007 or E-mail at
jsoyak@mchsi.com)
We had a great turn out for the October 6th stocking and everybody enjoyed viewing the beauty
of DuPont State Forest. The leaves on the trees were just starting to turn into their fall colors
along with a crisp but invigorating temperature for stocking the river. It was interesting to note
that the water temperature within the Little River was at 50 F and the trout took immediately to
their new environment.
The following individuals were present during the stocking: Eric Folk, DuPont State Forest
Ranger; Greg Ditzler, Pisgah Setzer Hatchery; and our Pisgah Chapter members Irv Lanquist,
Ken Voltz, Tim Schubmehl, Don Lingard, Peter Greko, Jack Soyak, and our newest volunteers
Dick Milonzi and Kim Kramer. John Wolf
was our guest volunteer who is a senior a
Brevard College. He is developing his
senior thesis on the value of fly fishing in
wildlife areas and wanted the experience of

t
event. He will be interviewing Eric Folk and
the staff at DuPont State Forest in the near
future to gain more insight on the role fly
fishing plays in the programs sponsored at
the forest.

The Pisgah Hatchery delivered 350 pounds of trout that equaled approximately 785 fish with an
average weight of 0.57 pounds each. Brooks made up 4% of the total, 19% were Browns and 77%
were Rainbows. The rainbows were beautiful with deep red and yellow colors.
Thanks to Eric Folk, the buckets of trout were transported along the trail to Triple Falls and from
the Pavilion at High Falls using the DuPont State Forest “Gator”. It would be near impossible to
stock the Little River without the trusty “Gator”.

Green River Stocking
October 6, 2010
On Wednesday October 6th,We had our next to last Green River stocking of the fall sea-
son. we had great weather and a large number of members and guests.What really made
the morning was we had more fish than we’ve had in two years.There was over a 1,000
pounds and in the past we’ve had less than that either because of drought or bad food at
the hatchery.So all in all it was a good day especially since Mike Dennis brought muffins
from the Dixie Diner in Hendersonville.This is a treat that we all look forward to.And of
course we had Coffee.So with the comraderie, refreshments and lots of fish things
couldn’t have been any better.So if you missed this one maybe you can make the one to be
held on November 4th.Following is a list of all of the people that helped:

National Hunting and Fishing Day Expo at the Pisgah Cen-
ter for Wildlife Education
O n September 25 the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education hosted their annual day of
family fun celebrating “Our Hunting and Fishing Heritage”. In 1972, President Nixon
signed the first proclamation of National Hunting and Fishing Day. Honorary national
chairs have included George Bush, Tom Seaver, Hank Williams Jr., Arnold Palmer, Terry
Bradshaw, George Brett, Robert Urich, Ward Burton, Louise Mandrell, Travis Tritt, Tracy
Byrd, Jeff Foxworthy and many other sports and entertainment figures.
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission hosted events at four education centers and one
hatchery across the state in Raleigh, Outer Banks, Fayetteville, Pisgah at Brevard, and the
McKinney Lake Hatchery in Hoffman.
Hands-on, interactive exhibits and demonstrations focused on the important roles that
hunting and fishing play in North Carolina’s fish and wildlife conservation.
Exhibits included:
· BB gun range
· Archery range
· Interactive kids’ hunt
camp
· Hatchery interpretation
· Outdoor cooking
· Huntmaster demo
· Fly-fishing casting
· Fly tying
· Tree stand safety
The Pisgah Chapter of Trout
Unlimited was represented and provided a display of chapter information. Members as-
sisted in fly casting and fly tying which were big hits of interest mainly for the young
people. Chapter members participating included John & Shirley Johnson, Joe Moore
(cooking all kinds of good game foods), Chris Ellis doing some fly tying, Linda and Mark
Byington at the Rivercourse display, Charlie Dotson, Dave Pearce, John Gephart, and Bob
Daubert. The sport of Fly Fishing was also represented by the Federation of Fly Fishers,
Casting for Recovery, and Rivercourse representatives. The weather was great and the
turnout of people, especially those with young kids, was impressive. A good time was had
by all. If you didn’t attend this year, try to make it next year.

I caught this fish on October 10, 2010 in one of my favorite brook trout streams on the Blue
Ridge Parkway. At 10 inches, this is not the biggest wild brookie I have ever landed, but it is
one of the prettiest. Seeing this fish made me think of why I joined Trout Unlimited, to help
protect these fish and the rivers they call home. The true value of this fish isn’t measured in
inches but in it’s beauty and the wildness of it’s existence. I feel confident in saying that you will
never see a fish this stunning from a hatchery. These fish need the cold clear water that you find
in true wilderness and they need our diligent protection to preserve these jewels for future genera-
tions of fisherman. Steve Fromholtz
OUR VISION
Pursue a future where healthy populations of native and wild coldwater fish thrive in the Western
North Carolina region for following generations to enjoy.
OUR MISSION
Conserve, protect and restore coldwater fisheries and their watersheds in the Western North Carolina
region.

13Egg Pattern Fly Fishing
W ith the stocking of Delayed Harvest rivers in our area, one of the “Go-To” fly patterns to use is an Egg pattern.
I’ve read this in numerous magazines and have been told the same by the more experienced guys in our chapter.
As a matter of fact, our chapter’s own Joe Moore has his “Joey’s Egg” pattern appearing in the mouth of a Rainbow
Trout in the JULY/AUG 2010 issue of Eastern Fly Fishing magazine.
Egg patterns can be of every color rivaling Easter eggs. You can make your own from materials or use already formed
commercial imitation eggs and just glue them to the hook. Nothing fancy, no exotic furs/feathers, no complicated tying
procedures, just about as simple as it gets.
Anyway, below is an article posted on the Bass Pro Shops Web site that pretty much captures the basics of Egg Pattern
Fly Fishing.
- John Johnson
written by Jason Akl
With the fall season upon us, many changes in the environment have begun to take place - especially in the rivers and
streams. Subtle cues such as water temperature, level and clarity trigger a
massive migration of fish to start returning home to the streams where they
where born to repeat the spawning process. It is this spawning process and the
returning fish that are of importance to the educated fly angler, seeing as some
of the best fishing can come during this time of year. Not just any type of fishing
works during this fall run of fish. The lake-run salmon and trout and the river
residents have a particular interest in eating fresh eggs from their brethren.
Presenting egg flies to fish that have ventured up into the rivers can provide a
very exciting day of fishing. It might seem so simple but the truth is natural eggs
that come from spawning fish make up a more than substantial percentage of
the seasonal food base in streams for foraging trout and salmon species. Pre-
spawn fish are able to set themselves in a downstream position from other
spawning fish and forage aggressively on eggs that happen to wash out or be
knocked out of the spawning beds. These eggs contain many of the basic
nutrients for sustaining life, such as high amounts of protein and carbohydrates
that will help to fatten fish quickly
Egg fishing for trout and salmon may sound relatively simple but be warned; you should expect to lose large number of flies
due to snagging up on the river bottom or foul-hooking fish. Often the best presentation requires getting your fly right in the
thick of things meaning bouncing off the bottom all the way down the river for long stretches. It can be very frustrating to the
beginning fly angler trying to decipher between the current and rocks pulling on your fly and the soft strike of a weary fish
Tackle Considerations
Egg pattern fly fishing can be done with just about any ordinary rod or reel but a few specific equipment adjustments can be
made to allow the angler to better fish the techniques needed for these specific flies. Ideally any 8 1/2- to 9-foot 6-weight
rod and floating line will be adequate for fishing this technique on most waters while heavier rods can be used if fishing rivers
that are known for having large, tough-fighting fish. Leader lengths should be tailored to the size of the river you are planning
on fishing. Leaders of 9 foot are great for most waters while 7 1/2-foot leaders are good for smaller streams. Stout tippets
should be used to resist the shock of fighting fish on a taught line.
14Detecting Strikes
If you always keep in mind the golden rule that the indicator should be downstream of the fly and be fairly tight to the weight
and fly then you can start to apply it to different situations. One of the most important aspects to fishing with egg flies is your
indicator system. Egg flies, like nymphs, are dead-drifted downstream, so being able to quickly detect strikes from fish will
increase your odds of landing good numbers of fish. Ideally, having an indicator made from bright-colored, high-floating foam
is what you are looking for but putties and yarn can also be adequate with shallower water conditions. Detecting strikes from
fish is a combination of watching the indicator and the behavior of the fish at the same time (given you can see the fish working
the bottom). In most instances, takes from large fish will be obvious, with the fish moving off of the bottom to where the fly
is drifting and sucking down the indicator aggressively. In other cases the indicator won’t move as you pass the fishes position
but you visualize the fishes mouth actively eating objects floating downstream or you will simply see a tick or slowing down
of the indicator giving you just enough info to set the hook before the fish spits your egg fly. Paying close attention to each
drift and how your fly line is drifting will pay off in the long run. The biggest fish seem to always be the ones that suck in egg
flies softly barely tipping you off to their presence on your line.
Egg Pattern Fishing Techniques
To fish egg patterns a fly angler should be well versed in the art of dead drifting nymphs, seeing as this technique will be very
similar. The basic cast that is used to present flies to fish is the “3/4 up and across the current cast.” This cast will land the
fly upstream of your potential target so that it does not spook weary fish and allows the fly the proper amount of time to sink
to the required depth. As the egg fly tumbles downstream the angler should gather the slack line and keep the rod tip following
the indicator downstream. As the fly comes to a position downstream, slowly lift the rod tip and allow the fly to swing out
of the current. Take a few steps upstream and repeat this process until you have covered the entire hole. With this type of
up-and-across presentation, ideally the fly should land upstream of the indicator on the cast. If you are able to do this
consistently you will be able to see if a fish strikes your fly early in the drift. If the fly happens to land downstream of the indicator
the fly will start to sink to the bottom and you would not be able to see any signs of a strike until the line and indicator become
tight downstream of the fly.
Cast lengths are always a popular question with fly anglers. You should use as long of a cast as you can properly handle
upstream without letting excess slack build up in your presentation of the flies. A good idea is to position yourself near
the head of the long run of riffle and allow your flies to long-line drift the entire run downstream of your position. Too
much line upstream of the angler makes it hard to set the hook on strike from fish but if your line is downstream of your
position and in the current you should still have good control and feel over your fly. For this long drift use the standard
up-and-across cast into the fast current and allow the fly to drift naturally downstream. As the fly reaches a point directly
in front of you lightly lift the line off the water (trying not to disturb the indicator) and place an upstream mend into your
line while continuously feeding line. With a little practice you get the hang of feeding slack into the drift without disrupting
the indicator you can get some very long drag-free drifts. These long drifts can be very effective seeing as your fly stays
in the fish’s strike zone for extended periods of time. To set the hook with egg flies, fly anglers should perform a simple
sweep and set with the fly rod. This sweep and set is accomplished by sweeping the rod low and to the side (watching
for brush or your fishing partner) followed with a quick stout hook-set at the end of the sweep. In this case the flowing
current along the body of line will create enough tension for you to set the fly in the fish’s mouth. A good point to re-
member when egg fishing, just as with nymph fishing, is that if a fish has taken your fly — set the hook. It is much easier
to deal with losing a fly then a trophy fish because you did not set the hook in a timely fashion.
15Egg Fly Considerations
The eggs from spawning fish in the river may come in many different sizes and colors. Eggs
from spawning rainbow trout are approximately 3/16 inch in size and can be characterized
with a translucent yellowish-orange color. Spawning steelhead and Coho salmon produce
almost identical eggs that are about a 1/4 inch in size and basically have the same translucent
yellowish-orange color seen in rainbows. Chinook salmon eggs produce similar colored
eggs to the other mentioned species but have a slightly larger size at 3/8 inch. Brown trout
have eggs that are roughly a 1/4 inch in size and are bright orange like the rest. Imitating
these different types of eggs can be very lucrative for fly fisherman like all other fisherman
taking into account that the season and weather conditions are correct for the species you are targeting.
It is also a good idea to carry egg patterns in an off-white or cream color. When the natural eggs are laid, some do not get
fertilized during the spawning procedure and become a murky, whitish color. These dead eggs sometimes can save the day
when fish become extremely finicky. Finally, carrying patterns that range from single eggs to egg clusters can also be a good
idea. When fishing murky water using an egg cluster patterns has been known to work a little better than single eggs. In turn
when you are fishing clearer waters with finicky fish single or double egg patterns will produce the best results.
Fishing egg flies might not be exactly what you envisioned when you first thought about getting into fly fishing, but for a
short time every year they are some of the most productive flies you can fish. Any seasoned fly angler will attest to these
flies productiveness, so why not get out and add another time-tested technique to your arsenal?
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
The Fly Fishing School has been a long standing tradition for the Pisgah Chapter of Trout Unlimited. It has been a
classic opportunity for developing new fly fishing enthusiasts as well as creating new TU members for our chapter. It
has also proven to be an excellent fund raising event for our chapter to be able to support other key projects and
initiatives.
We are looking for a volunteer to take on the coordination of this annual event. Coordination is a key word because the
success of the FFS in the past has been the result of some excellent teamwork amongst chapter members.
The coordination involves recruiting team leaders for a number of key areas including: Equipment Selection; Knots &
Line Management Systems; Stream Tactics & Entomology; and Casting along with Student Recruitment; Public Rela-
tions; and Food & Beverage. The new coordinator will have the opportunity to utilize the assistance of the entire
Board, but in particular, Mike Dennis who has graciously offered to be the Board liaison for this key event.
If you are interested in this opportunity or would like more information, please feel free to contact Kiki Matthews at
(828) 696-1599 or kikimatthews@bellsouth.net.
16CALL TO ACTION OPPORTUNITY
As many of you may recall from the September Chapter Meeting, Damon Hearne, TU’s Southeastern Regional Land
Protection Coordinator spoke about not only the North Mills River / Big Creek Lodge initiative, he also talked about the
Charles Taylor 8000 acre tract of land project that was just getting started.
There is an opportunity for each of us to get involved with a written show of support (not fiscal) to all of the members of the
NC Wildlife Resource Commission how much this piece of property means to the preservation of pristine angling and
hunting in Western North Carolina.
Please read the official statement (see below) from Tom Fanslow, Land Protection Director with the Carolina Mountain Land
Conservancy about this initiative. Should you choose to send individual, handwritten letters to the NC Wildlife Commission
members, a sample format of same is also attached.
I work for Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy, and we are partnering with The Conservation Fund to purchase
8,000 acres in Transylvania County, NC. We don’t need to raise funds right now, but we do need to raise awareness
among hunters and anglers about the opportunity we have. Here are the essential facts: we have the opportunity to
add 8,000 acres to the public domain. The Conservation Fund, a national conservation organization, partnered
with Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy here in Hendersonville, to begin the process to permanently protect this
tract, known as the East Fork Headwaters project. The project encompasses over 60% of the East Fork of the
French Broad sub-basin.
The Conservation Fund needs to pay the landowner, former Congressman Charles Taylor, an initial installment of
$3 million in 2010 or the contract expires at year end. The Conservation Fund has the $3 million. This is NOT a
fundraising appeal. The Conservation Fund needs a government entity to take the property over from it, because it
is not set up to hold land for the long-term. The Conservation Fund can act as a bridge owner, but it must have a
government partner to take over the 8,000 acres. NC State Parks already has Gorges State Park nearby, and the
East Fork Headwaters are not contiguous. NC Forest Service already is managing 10,000-acre DuPont State Forest
in Transylvania and Henderson Counties. Nor does the tract fall within the proclamation boundary of any national
forrest. Given that the land has been managed for hunting for over 20 years, the establishment of a Wildlife Re-
source Commission (WRC) game land on the acreage would be ideal. The tract contains 2,000 acres of planted
white pine that must be harvested. The harvest, with careful planning, can result in the creation of superb upland
bird habitat, as well as browse for deer. WRC fisheries biologists have identified several populations of rare, native
Southern Appalachian brook trout as well. East Fork Headwaters harbors an incredible amount of water, over
250,000 feet of streams. Establishing a game land on East Fork Headwaters will add an estimated 5 miles of trout
stream to public Delayed Harvest waters.
A pivotal meeting of the NC Wildlife Resource Commissioners is taking place on November 4th. The Commission-
ers need to hear that the hunters and anglers of North Carolina want the WRC to establish this game land on the
East Fork Headwaters. We need the commissioners to receive as many sincerely written letters as possible by
November 3, 2010.
Information about East Fork Headwaters, and instructions for writing and addressing letters, are found at this
website: www.saveeastforkheadwaters.com .
This is the biggest chunk of land left in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Conservation Fund and Carolina Mountain
Land Conservancy are committed to raising the funds for this purchase. All we ask is that NC WRC resolve to
establish a game land on East Fork Headwaters. We are told to ‘never say never,’ but most doubt that we will ever
have the opportunity to conserve this size acreage and high caliber habitat in the future. It truly is now or never.
We hope we can count on the support of all anglers, hunters, and conservationists, especially members of the
Ruffed Grouse Society. And we hope you will encourage RGS members to send in letters. Please don’t hesitate to
ask questions or make suggestions. I have spoken with Jerry Cody, who represents the Southern Appalachian
chapter, and also shared this information with him.
