Gary Neitzey Fly Fishing on the Chesapeake Bay
Gary Neitzey started out as a furrier but gave up his hammer, anvil, and forge for a fly rod and boat many years ago. He used to take his horseshoeing clients fishing with him on his days off. Eventually these cli-ents wanted him to guide them more and more. Thus a career change. Gary is a light tackle fisherman who covers the whole Chesapeake Bay. He will go from Havre de Grace to the Salomon Islands, from open water to the smallest shallow creeks, where ever the fish are. Some of his favorite places are the Severn and the Magothy Riv-ers, but be sure to remind him to describe what it can be like on the Patapsco near the Power Plant.
Every-one likes striped bass for both catching and eating but there are many species to be caught on the Bay and its rivers, including his favorite the chain pick-erel. What to look for, both fish and conditions, and what to use will definitely be a large part of his presenta-tion. Hot, cold, salty, rainy, clear; weather conditions can help you decide where to go and what might end up on your hook. He will share with us tips on the tackle, which is most effective for different species on the Bay, including some flies, which he finds very effective. Whether it is blind casting, working struc-ture, or casting to breaking fish, Gary feels that the Bay can be a great place for a fly fisher. He says that one of the greatest things about the Bay is that it is a 12 month fishery. If you can go out, there are fish waiting to be caught.
You should really enjoy Gary's presentation. He is a very animated person, very excited about his time on the water. But be cautious: if you introduce yourself and shake hands, be complimentary regarding his presentation; remember, he used to shoe horses for a living.
March PRESIDENTS COLUMN
By Jim Keil
If someone asked me what my greatest fear is for our coldwater fisheries, my answer might surprise some of you who know me well. Some of you might think I'd say, "the ICC" or "sprawl," but you'd be wrong. The greatest danger to our watersheds is grassroots conservation groups with an inactive or limited mem-bership. I don't have that fear about our membership; let me tell you why.
Last month I raved about the support we received at the University of Maryland Flyfishing Show and the great job many people did putting together February's flytying meeting. Those are two good reasons to think there is hope for our watersheds. Another rea-son for hope popped up this month. I had filed a list-serv trip report on a Friday I had spent on the Middle Patuxent, and I had used some acronyms for the nymphs with which I had had success. One of the listserv readers pointed out that he didn't know what a BHPN was. I explained to him, as did one or two other readers, that it was shorthand for beadhead prince nymph, but I realized from that experience that some PPTU members are willing to admit that they're not all that familiar with some of the minutiae of trout fishing and that they want to learn more about it (indeed, the listserv has quite a few people willing to describe themselves as "newbies").
The flip side of this our good fortune is that there are chapter members willing and able to share the wealth of knowledge available that they've acquired over the years. This brings me to Jay Sheppard's recent articles on hatches. particularly the outstanding piece in Febru-ary's issue; Jim Greco's on tying in this month's issue; and David Feldman's organization of the flytying course, where there were about twenty people en-rolled.
There's always reasons to be hopeful when one has such expertise as these anglers represent--and one has from them a willingness to share that expertise with newcomers to the sport. As long as people keep asking to learn more about flyfishing and others are willing to help, our watersheds stand a chance. If you have a question and/or can lend a hand, please do so. But at the very least, remember that at the grassroots level a little effort and a little thanks go a long way.
Patuxent Report
by Jay Sheppard
Unless there was a flood or heavy snow, the Special (& Delayed Harvest) Area should have been stocked twice by March 8. Some 2000 brown trout and 1000 rainbows were in these first two stockings. A final float-stocking of rainbows is scheduled for April 2. The browns were float-stocked away from the bridges to spread them out, while the rainbows were mostly placed near the bridge access points or the first several hundred yards in both directions. This latter stocking policy makes a lot of fish available to those just getting into catch-and-release fishing with lures or flies
A lot of the younger fishers also bene-fit-they can usually see the trout swimming down in the deeper pools! As in past years, we avoid placing hatchery trout in those sections that hold good num-bers of wild trout, mostly above the Rt. 94 bridge crossing. We greatly appreciate the three dozen members who have helped stock the Special Area; this effort often requires taking a day off of work and wading in some COLD water. If you are interested in helping on the last stocking and have not yet signed up for the earlier ones, please let me know by the March meeting. As with most hatchery trout, we may not see much reaction to our fishing tactics for a couple of weeks after they went into the stream. Give them a chance to learn how and what to eat. Up until now, every-thing they saw in the hatchery was edible. They also never had to chase their food and need some prac-tice. Now, suddenly, bits of leaves, bark, and twigs look inviting as they swirl past the freshly stocked trout, but these items just give them a tummy ache within a few days of going into the stream!
There will be a stream cleanup on the Patuxent Sat-urday morning, April 7. Please mark your calen-dars. This annual event is in coordination with the Izaak Walton League and other conservation groups. Meet at 8:30 A.M. at the Wildlife Achievement Chapter's House on Mullinix Mill Road. Bring boots, gloves and a heavy duty rake. Lunch will be pro-vided when you are finished. This is a great family activity. Contact me for further information and if you plan to help. Parking and access to the stream may get disrupted later this year. I do not know when, but both the bridges at Howard Chapel and the one over Cabin Branch on Hipsley Mill are to be removed and re-placed at some point. Parking for stream access will be possible just to the north of either bridge.
Maryland License Fees
A Maryland License fees for Nonresidents Jay Sheppard In case some of you who live outside Maryland may not have heard: MD has gone to a reciprocal non-resident fee for fishing licenses. That is, when a nonresident asks for a license, the clerk asks what state he is from and the screen only gives him the choices that a MD resident would have when in that other state.
Real example: I took a fellow out for a few days of fishing in early November. He was from Ohio. Nonresidents getting licenses in Ohio pay either a $24 annual fee or $5/day to fish. Since MD only of-fers a 5?day or an annual non?resident license, the comparable 5?day license would be $25, so MD charges the Ohio resident its annual rate of $24, plus the MD trout stamp of $5 to fish ONE or all 365 days.
This will have a really big impact on our members and friends who live in the neighboring states of VA, WV, and PA. I think they will have to pay some-thing like $60 (VA & WV) and $40 (PA) for an an-nual MD freshwater license with trout stamp. Previously, MD had one of the very lowest nonresi-dent annual fishing licenses in the country: $20 for a non?tidal license without trout stamp.
This whole pricing structure currently applies only to the non-tidal licenses; the legislature is being asked in the next session to allow tidal fishing li-censes to also be reciprocal. Welcome to Maryland and the 21st Century! Great place to fish, especially if you live here.

HATCH TALK Jay Sheppard By the end of March or early April, local trout streams start to see some of the first hatches of may-flies and caddis. It would take a lot of space to list the whole hatch chart for Maryland and nearby states for the year. I would check out some of the books on Pennsylvania trout fishing by Charles Meck or look through some of the other large books on may-flies, caddis, and similar topics in your local fishing shop. You should search for books that cover a large geographic area, since most of us end up fishing in a variety of States over time.
What is always important in order to have a better chance at catching trout is capturing a specimen, fig-uring out its basic coloration and size and then trying to find a close match in your fly box. Most local shops will be able to sell you some flies that match what is hatching. Mayflies, stoneflies and caddis have a variety of hatching behaviors. Most stoneflies nymphs wander up onto an exposed rock or the shoreline and molt into the adult stage. A few mayflies and caddis do the same thing. The nymphs are frequently taken as they migrate to the edges of the stream or up a rock. However, the freshly emerged adult may simply flut-ter off the shoreline or rock and not be available to most trout. Then again, on windy days some will get blown back onto the water. Only later will the adults flutter about the surface to lay eggs and also become prey for the alert trout. There are even a few adult aquatic insects that actually dive back to the bottom of the stream to lay their eggs.
Typical mayflies and caddisflies swim to the surface of the water and then pop out of their nymphal or larval skins in a few seconds before fluttering off to some bush or other vegetation. Some caddis, in par-ticular, emerge on the bottom and literally rocket to the surface without any pausing there. Still others, like the members of the abundant mayfly genus Ephemerella (e.g., sulphurs), may ride on the surface for 5-40 seconds before fluttering away. This gives any trout a lot of time to see and attack them. The mayfly nymphs become very restless just as the hatch starts. As the hour arrives, some individual nymphs may actually swim part way to the surface and then go back to the bottom. At this stage of a mayfly hatch, the trout have ready access to these active nymphs that are swimming towards the sur-face. We may see trout flashing midway between the bottom and the surface of the stream, especially at the heads of a pool, as they chase these first nymphs. As the hatch gets going in intensity, the first duns pop out of their nymphal shucks and start to ride the surface. If this is going to be a heavy hatch, the first rising trout may start at this time, particularly in the slightly slower water near the heads of a pool.
Be-cause some mayflies hatch in profuse numbers only for a few days each year, the first day or two of the hatch may see relatively minor attention to the duns as they drift on the surface. The famous Green Drake duns seem to benefit from this lack of atten-tion the first few days of their hatch (around June 1 in this area). This is our largest local mayfly, being up to 2½ inches long on some fertile streams. A few trout which I have flushed for their stomach contents at this time show a fair number of the large drake nymphs but many duns. The duns can be sporadic all afternoon and then reach a climax just about sunset, which may be the only time the trout greedily take the duns. So in some cases the nymphs may be the main pattern to use in either the hour(s) leading up to the hatch or in the first day of the hatch before duns become quite visible.
For those mayflies (and also caddis) that hatch sporadically all day long, the duns may not be readily taken. The March Brown is one typical case. The nymphs or spinners are the patterns to have for this hatch, although you may get an occasional fish in mid-afternoon. Again, some of the many books on this subject should allude to this preference for this and other mayflies. Next month, I will try to tackle the problems with complex hatches of several differ-ent mayflies and other insects hatching at the same time, unless readers have some questions.
Paint Branch Report
By David Dunmire, Paint Branch Chair
Good Hope Mosque Update
Update It is strange sometimes how government works. Councilmember Praisner, when she first learned in June of the clearing and grading violations of the Forest Conservation Law committed by the Ahmadi-yya Washington Mosque, was not willing to voice her concerns to the Montgomery County Planning Board. However, Councilmember Leggett wrote the Planning Board and personally called each member, pressuring Board members on behalf of the mosque.
For other members of county government, issues be-came complicated and confused. For example, at the first hearing some members of the Planning Board indicated that the Forest Conservation Law permitted a landowner such as the Mosque to clear 40,000 square feet of forest in the Special Protection Area without any type of permit, application, or water quality plan. Clearly, it forbids all these violations and provides penalties for them. After the first hearing, Councilmember Praisner wrote a letter to the Planning Board asking for clari-fication of a number of specific technical points. Board Chairman Bill Huss-mann responded with a three-page letter that system-atically addressed each issue in detail. Hussmann's letter states, in part, "In cases of extreme violation (un-permitted clearing occurs in an environmentally sensitive area, clearing done for a use which requires further permitting by the Planning Board or Board of Appeals; clearing which occurs in an existing conser-vation easement): the maximum civil fine is applied; a forest conservation plan must be submitted; adminis-trative civil penalties may be applied; and a reforesta-tion plan may be required for specific areas of distur-bance even if planting is not required per the forest conservation plan." In her own way, then, it seems Councilmember Praisner has done PPTU, the Paint Branch, and the Forest Conservation Law enforce-ment a great service. Mr. Hussmann's letter is directly applicable to the violations committed by the mosque.
It is difficult to see how the Mosque violations could be penalized in any other ways than the ones laid out in the letter. Yet Mr. Hussmann and the Planning Board, perhaps due to Councilmember Leggett's pressure, seemed willing before their February 15 meeting to accept a settlement that is 60% the maximum cash penalty--and without any requirements for a forest conservation plan, administrative penalties, or refor-estation. Just before going to press, I learned that the Planning Board removed this item from their Febru-ary 15 agenda, and I am not sure what this means for the settlement. PPTU's Paint Branch Committee is outraged about this egregious violation of the Forest Conservation Law and its feeble settlement. We would like to see a settlement that included some conservation education and tree planting done by members of the Mosque with the help of PPTU. We encourage PPTU mem-bers to write the Planning Board and express their concerns for the Paint Branch and for the enforce-ment of the Forest Conservation Law in the future:
Mr. William Hussmann,
Chairman Montgomery county Planning Board Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission

Corps of Engineers' Projects
When the Paint Branch Technical Team (consisting of the Paint Branch Committee, the Parks Depart-ment, Maryland DNR, Montgomery County Depart-ment of Environmental Protection, and Eyes of Paint Branch) met with the Corps on January 4, one of our main objectives was to achieve consensus on the plans for the Phase II projects on the main stem of Paint Branch. We emphasized that the Phase II projects need to include both stream bank stabiliza-tion and habitat improvement for adult trout on the main stem between Fairland Road and Columbia Pike (Rte 29).
The Paint Branch Technical Team had reviewed the plans for these projects several times, walked the stream with the Corps, and provided detailed com-ments. While there appears to be complete agreement in the field, many of the important changes had not yet shown up on the plans. Consequently, we asked that the Corps and the Technical Team walk the construction sites once again, with the latest plans in hand, and record the agreed upon changes to the plans. On January 16 we all met on site for this final review of the plans. We have not yet seen the revised plans, but we hope ACOE will include them in the next revision, due at the end of February

Inter-County Connector Update
When Governor Glendening declared the "The ICC is Dead" two years ago, he made it clear that the mid-section, the part that goes through Northwest Branch and Paint Branch watersheds, should never be built. However, he kept alive plans for a western parkway and an eastern parkway. Since that time the State Highway Administration (SHA) has been working on plans for building these roads.
On January 11, 2001, Nelson Castellanos of the Bal-timore office of USDOT/FWHA, expressed concerns about SHA's plans to study three east-west road links. The FWHA's concerns are in a letter responding to SHA's Draft Discussion Paper On In-dependent Utility and Segmentation Issues (DDPIUSI). The SHA document defines the following three road segments: A widened four-lane MD 28-MD 198 connector road from MD 97 to Interstate 95, now in the project planning phase A four-lane Western Parkway from I-370 to MD 28 east of MD 97 (the ICC route) A six-lane Eastern Parkway from U.S. 29 to U.S. 1 with an interchange on I-95 about two miles south of MD 198 (the ICC route). In the January letter, USDOT/FHWA stated that "following review and considerable internal discus-sion of the DDPIUSI pertaining to the East/West Transportation Link in Montgomery & Prince-George's Counties, we are concerned that the logical termini discussion is unclear and does not appear to be reasonably supported. The ICC Study had long recognized the need to connect the I-270 and I-95 Corridors.
The current draft report attempts to dem-onstrate that the corridor demand line can be divided at MD 97, suggesting proposed improvements to MD 28/MD 198 between MD 97 and I-95 will satisfy traffic demands and should move forward. The report simultaneously concludes that construction of the Western leg of the facility (I-270 to MD 97) will fail to meet traffic demand, therefore warranting further analysis. However, the analysis also documents that the MD 28/MD 198 improvements will exacerbate capacity deficiencies on MD 28, west of MD 97. This contra-dicts the assertion that improvements to MD 28/ MD 198 between MD 97 and I-95 would not restrict con-sideration of alternatives for the western leg. The question is also raised whether future improvements to the western leg might point the gun at the need for a limited access facility in the middle sec-tion.
The development pressures apparent in the vicinity of the MD 97 intersection heighten the importance that a coherent plan for managing the east west travel demands be developed appropriately, avoiding the possible need for costly retrofit solutions in the fu-ture. Moreover, we are concerned that the public will perceive that this report is an attempt to piecemeal the long controversial ICC and advance the original proposal in smaller sections." The letter then goes on with a list of specific com-ments on the report. In this their most recent state-ment on the subject, the Federal Highway people ob-viously are concerned that building two limited ac-cess highways at either end of a cross-county con-nector would force the future construction of a mid-dle limited access highway segment and thus violate their policies forbidding segmentation of federally-funded highway construction. PPTU opposes any construction that would have significant impact on Class III trout streams and their watersheds, and this position rules out any of the ICC routes that have been studied so far. The ICC saga continues.
New Shop In Hereford
What was formerly Wally Vait's On the Fly shop in Hereford is now called Backwater Anglers. The new owner's name is Theaux (pronounced Theo) LeGardeur. His fiancee, Sarah Hoffman, also is be taking part in the business. Theaux has extensively renovated the shop and gained more space. The shop will have had a Grand Opening on March 1 through March 4, which will be before this issue is mailed to our members. PPTU members should plan to stop at this new venture when going to the Gun-powder. The E-mail address is email@example.com and the phone number is 410-329-6821.
Store hours will be 10 AM until 7 PM six days a week, closed on Wednesday. A website is in the planning stages and is expected up about April 1. Clarification There was some confusion regarding the article on "Chapter Assessments" in the February issue of CONSERVATIONIST. It appeared that members of other TU chapters might be receiving the newsletter for free. They are, in fact, paying the same $15 as-sessment as PPTU members in order to receive this newsletter. We apologize for the confusion.
Over 30 Hours of NEW Videos
On The Way
An order has been placed for twenty-five new videos to add to the chapter Video Library. Fly Tying from the vises of experts such as A. K. Best, Lefty Kreh, Bob Clouser, and Dave Whitlock. Casting from master casters the likes of Doug Swisher, Joe Hum-phreys, Mel Krieger, Joan Wulff, and the Becks (Barry and Cathy). A dollar donation will be collected when checking out each of the new videos (this will allow us to de-fray video costs and expand our holdings).
The same two-video maximum per member remains in effect but only one of these can be a new video. By limit-ing each member to one new video checkout, every-one should get an opportunity to view the new tapes. Remember to return any of the chapter's videos you have checked out. Every video is due at the next chapter meeting. If you are not sure if you have a video due and want to check the chapter records, please contact the Video Librarian, Jack Dawson, 301.253.4092 or email at email@example.com.
You Should Be Tying Flies
By Jim Greco
Late last spring my wife, Pam, and I traveled to one of our favorite streams in Bedford County, Pennsyl-vania, to fish the first few days of the annual sulphur hatch. We hiked to a remote pool about a mile from our car and eagerly waited for the sulphurs to show themselves. As dusk approached and there wasn't a sulphur to be seen, our spirits sagged. We turned out to be a day or two early.
The flat calm water beneath the hemlock and hardwood branches whispered past our legs and taunted us with memories from prior seasons when the sulphurs had hatched on time and rising fish shattered the calm water with slurping rises too numerous to count. Seventy-five yards downstream, at the tail of the pool, two other fly fishers entered the placid water and gracefully presented their offerings. I gave them a pleasant nod and waited, just about ready to tie on a weighted nymph and cast to the faster moving wa-ter in the center of the pool. As I reached for my fly box, a ring formed in the calm water twenty-five feet in front of us, then another, thirty-five feet upstream from Pam. In a matter of minutes, rising fish dotted the pool with rings almost everywhere I looked, but there weren't any sulphurs to be seen. I bent over and scanned the surface of the water for a clue. Sur-prisingly, I saw a large black caddis lying spent in the surface film. Once I knew what to look for, I noticed caddis now drifting everywhere in the pool. Quickly, I scooped one up and scrutinized it more closely. It was a size twelve, the largest I'd ever seen anywhere. I fumbled for my caddis box and grabbed a size twelve caddis pattern that I had tied the year before for a trip to Montana. It had a black body, a dark dun deer hair wing, and five turns of black hackle tied up to the eye of the hook.
I couldn't believe how lucky we were to have a pattern that so closely matched the natural. I tied one on and quietly waded over to Pam with a couple for her. Over the next forty-five minutes Pam and I caught and released more than twenty-five fish. Each one of those fish crashed the black caddis pat-tern and did it with gusto. That is an evening Pam and I will never forget. Before the light really began to fail, Pam and I headed for the car, passing by the two fellows who had been fishing the tail of the pool. One of them called to us from the edge of the pool, wanting to know what we had been using. When I told him, he responded by saying he'd been fishing the pool the night before when the same hatch had occurred, but not having anything that large, he'd only landed two fish. He went on to say he'd been to a couple of fly shops in the area earlier in the day and had only found and purchased some number four-teen, black, Elk Hair Caddis, the largest in stock at any of the shops. He also said he'd had nothing but refusals all evening, not one strike. I gave him a couple of the big caddis Pam and I had been using and waited while he tied on and cast to the closest riser.
On his first cast, a solid fifteen inch rainbow slammed the caddis. Dancing over the surface of the pool for more than twenty feet before making a de-termined run downstream, the fish finally yielded to the angler's steady pressure and circled back to the waiting net. His partner came over, and I handed him a couple of the big black caddis, too. Pam and I were leaving, so it really didn't matter if my supply was depleted. I'd tie some more that evening. The young man asked me where I got the flies I'd just given him. "I tied them," I said proudly. The guy blinked and nodded his head. "There's a fly shop just around the corner from my place," he said, "and the owner runs a tying class every winter. I think I'll take it next year." I glanced at Pam, then back to him "You won't save any money, but you sure will catch more fish," I said.
Pam laughed, and, as usual, got in the last word. "Yeah, if he weren't tying for two of us, we couldn't afford it." Somewhere in this anecdote there has to be a moral, but you probably have to tie flies to understand it. You should be tying flies because: you will catch more fish; you will learn new things; you will be more creative; you will get to spend more time tying for your friends and relatives who fly fish; you will get your spouse to look at you more often, especially when smelly packages arrive from all over the coun-try; you get to buy new glasses; you get to carry seven or eight fly boxes in your vest instead of one or two; you get to study Latin names of bugs you never heard of before; you get to take allergy pills; you get to catch fish on flies you have tied with your own hands. I never want to quit.
Flyfisher's Mailbox
Part I by Robert Simpson
Over the years in this newsletter, chapter members have provided generous glimpses into what they keep in their fishing vests and their fly boxes. Others have reported on quality books that merit further atten-tion. Equally valuable is a peek at their mailbox, to see what magazines and catalogs they've come to rely upon. This month, I'll share a list of periodicals that I've come to rely upon, and next month I'll re-port on the more useful of the catalogs that flood my mailbox this time of year. Of course, we all read the quarterly issues of Na-tional TU's Trout magazine from cover to cover.
But where else do we turn to satisfy that urge to know just a little more or to discover that one extra tip that one day proves the key to a fabulous day on the water? In my case, I've come to rely on the fol-lowing six periodicals. There are easily three times that number to choose from, but I'll restrict myself to just those that deal with flyfishing and those that I actually find the time to read.
Probably the one that I look forward to the most is Fly Fisherman. Published six times a year by Prime-dia Enthusiast Group Publications of Harrisburg, PA, this magazine consistently brings quality photos and illustrations, attractive layouts, and a good mix of articles by prominent authors. The magazine pro-vides me with a good nationwide perspective on an-gling issues and techniques. Visit them online at www.flyshop.com to sample the contents or to sub-scribe ($24/yr), or call 1-800-829-3340.
Close behind are a pair of magazines from Abenaki Publishers, the bimonthly American Angler and the quarterly Fly Tyer. Entomologist Rick Hafele and tyers Dick Talleur and C. Boyd Pfeiffer are favorites that grace both publications. You can sample both magazines at www.flyfishingmagazines.com. Annual subscription rates for each of these magazines is $19.95. Subscriptions can be made by phone at 1-800-877-5305 for American Angler, or 1-800-397-8159 for Fly Tyer.
The next two are more local in nature. The Pennsyl-vania Angler & Boater is published bimonthly by the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission. It's only $9/yr or $25 for three years. Contributions by Char-les Meck and Chauncy Lively have made this a win-ner for many years. Unfortunately, Mr. Lively passed away last year and his tying articles will be sorely missed. This magazine also covers all types of fish-ing found in Pennsylvania waters, including ice fish-ing! You'll also find a variety of info about Pennsyl-vania Fish & Boat Commission programs and poli-cies. Check it out at www.fish.state.pa.us .
The other, more local, entry is the Mid Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide, published by The O Boys Publishing Co., P.O. Box 144, Allenwood, PA 17810-0144. Published 10 times per year, this publication can be obtained for free at most local tackle shops. It does an excellent job of covering local fishing conditions in Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia and Connecticut, including ex-cellent hatch and pattern charts. Also tucked away in each issue is a column on salt-water flyfishing by the legendary Lefty Kreh. If you find you don't get by your fly shop often enough to get every issue, $17/year will bring each issue to your mailbox.
Finally, for a little international change of pace, you might want to take a look at Fly Fishing and Fly Tying, a British offering from Rolling Rivers Publi-cations Ltd. It appears eight times per year and a US subscription is £34.50. It's mercifully devoid of the "dead fish photos" that still grace the majority of British fishing magazines and provides nice counter-point to American notions about sport fishing. And it's great fun trying to decipher the language, things like buzzer baits, sedges, and beat fishing. It's also a great source of information about stillwater fishing, as stream fishing opportunities are limited and expen-sive in Great Britain. Visit them at www.flyfishing-and-flytying.co.uk to sample or subscribe, or call on your own nickel at +44 (0)1887 830526.
Next month, we'll return with a short list of catalogs that are useful for both the information they contain and the products they offer for sale. In the mean-time, make the most of your springtime fishing.

About Me
I grew up just north of Detroit in a small city named Mount Clemens. (For those of you who are not familiar with the East coast, there aren't any mountains in Mount Clemens. And yes, I have been asked this before!) At the age of 21, I decided to leave quiet suburbia for New York City on a whim. I longed for a change. For the next five years, I experienced love...and heart-break; high-times and late nights; the most amazing food, fashion and art; a motley of cultures, music and crazy cab drivers; and at the end of it all- I met my husband, Chad.
Currently moving at a slower pace, I now call sunny California my home. I am happily married with two four-legged "kids" named Zeus (a spunky chihuahua mix) and Athena (a clownish heap of skin Basset Hound). I love God, my ever-so-patient husband and I still LOVE to ride by the seat of my pants! All forms of art, nature and God's creatures make my heart smile.
What Inspired This Blog
I may have been told a time or two that I tend to "check out" from reality. (Okay maybe I've heard this many many times, but who's counting?) My husband has often asked me, "What is going through that head of yours?...You're dazing out." Most of the time, I am thinking about what I can make next...what inspires me, and how I can make something tangible out of it. Then I'll escape to my "work room" and get to it. I would E-mail some of my creations, paintings, etc to friends and family. They would often respond with, "When are you going to start putting your stuff out there?" I never really considered it an option, until a friend of mine introduced me to the blogging world. As a result, I created Dazed. And then some!
My Medium
I would say my artistic expression is a bit like me - ALL OVER THE PLACE! I paint as a release, craft to have fun and take on new DIY projects to learn and broaden my skills. I do my best to remain open-minded since that is when creativity is the most fun!
Having said that- some may strike a chord in you and some may not. I hope at the very least that I may offer some inspiration and/or help out where need be in your future projects! Happy Dazing!

About SLES
About SLES
Salt Lake Elementary School (SLES), established in 1970, is part of the Moanalua Complex Schools and celebrated its 45th anniversary during the 2015-16 school year. The school is a Title I school and receives federal funds with over 50% students in free or reduced lunch status. SLES enrolls approximately 700 students annually, serving students from Kindergarten through 6th grade. The school prepares children to be life-long learners through the direct teaching of the thinking skills and Habits of Mind. We pride ourselves with the motto: "Dolphin P.R.I.D.E. Practicing Respect, Integrity and Demonstrating Excellence." The theme for this year is "Enhancing...Dolphin P.R.I.D.E".
Students wear uniform school t-shirts to promote school spirit, pride and safety on campus. They can join one of six service groups: Junior Safety Officers, Conflict Mediators, Mall Patrol, Student Council, Library Club, and Campus Safety Patrol. Students get involved in many civic responsibility opportunities including making cards for nursing homes, recycling projects, donating to Pennies for Leukemia Patients and other charitable foundations. Student Council members are encouraged to do individual and group service-learning projects such as collecting and donating personal hygiene products to homeless shelters. The Music Enrichment Group, comprised of grades 2–6 students, enjoy singing and playing ukuleles and recorders. They performed at Ala Moana Shopping Center and Moanalua 99 for the winter and spring seasons. The Robotics and Jr. Lego programs (Grades 3-6) help students work together to research and build creative models and robotics designs. One of the Robotics Teams qualified and competed in the State Robotics Tournament at the Neal Blaisdell Arena in December. The Mini-Mac program gave students the opportunity to participate in an after-school video editing class with high school student mentors.
The School Community Council (SCC) continues to be actively engaged in the development of the Academic and Financial Plans. The PTA and SCC actively support an annual Talk Story with the Principal Community Meeting. The PTA is also active in fundraising and sponsors the annual Fun Fair to raise funds to support field trips and other learning experiences for the students and other school initiatives.
Incorporating technology in our school and curriculum is a major focus. We continue to focus on integrating technology in the classroom by students and teachers with over 600 laptops and computers on campus. Our goal is to prepare students to be ready for the 21st century.

There was a little extra holiday magic at The Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, when over 600 elegantly-attired guests flocked to the locale for the sold-out Friends of CASA Annual Holiday Luncheon and Fashion Show. Kicking off the festivities was a brilliant runway show by 2016 Fashion Partner Ted Baker London, presented by South Coast Plaza, that brought forth a bevy of the British brand's signature unconventional styles. The program then struck a heartfelt tone as Masters of Ceremonies Barclay Butera and Ray Langhammer of Barclay Butera Interiors took the stage to introduce guest speaker Rhonda Beylik. The CASA volunteer shared the touching story of how, four years ago, she came to advocate for a special 14-year-old girl, who has now fulfilled her dreams of graduating high school and attending college.

A few weeks ago I was browsing through some sites and came upon Night Owl Paper Goods. After looking at the site I was amazed at the items they offered at affordable prices. In todays economy it makes it hard to afford nice gifts and stay within the budget.
I emailed the company and after emailing we decided to work together on a review. M. was very sweet and sent me several items. Including:
The quality is absolutely amazing. They aren't cheap paper things that are going to rip and break easily. This is not just something you could run out and pick up at the Dollar Store either. Compare these items to some of the nicer Greeting card places without the high high prices.
They are also very personal gifts. For example the grapevine pencils. These pencils are handmade in the USA from grapevines in Sonoma Ca. When I seen that I instantly thought of Ben from the reality show Bachelor. He has a winery in Sonoma. This is something I would seriously give my husband because we both watched that show together and talked about going to Sonoma.
Just like the Journal and Jotter. These are eco friendly journals actually made from harvested birch wood.
I was amazed with the cards that was sent. If you just buy a card at a mass retailer or supermarket you would be paying more for a paper card then you would these fine cards. These are beautiful, thought out graphics and designs. They are printed on a 100% reclaimed & recycled cotton from the garment industry. I know my Mom & Step-Dad will love these in the next coming months.
If you couldn't tell I was excited to share this website with you! I am even more excited to tell you that you can win a $25 gift card from Night Owl Paper Goods!
disclosure: I was given free products from Night Owl Paper Goods in exchange for a review of their products. I was not required to give a good review. All opinions are true and my own.
My favortie item is the GRAPE VINE COLORS, they are colored pencils made from grape vine twigs. Awesome! The regular Grape Vine pencils are also cool.
Everything looks awesome on their site. Very impressive!

Hackers at the Defcon convention managed to trick employees at some of the largest U.S. companies to help them steal data.
The contestants in the competition, held at the world's largest hacking convention in Las Vegas this weekend, revealed the weaknesses of corporations when it comes to cyber security, particularly in training workers.
Despite a series of high-profile cyber attacks on targets ranging from Sony to the International Monetary Fund, the hackers found it easy in some cases to trick employees into revealing information that could be used in planning cyber assaults.
The company whose employees handed over the most data was Oracle, according to Chris Hadnagy, one of the organisers of the contest at the Defcon conference.
Oracle is one of the world's largest software makers and first started more than 30 years ago by selling secure databases to the Central Intelligence Agency.
Oracle spokeswoman Deborah Hellinger declined to comment.
The contestants also managed to get employees to use their corporate computers to browse websites the hackers suggested.
Had these been criminal hackers, the websites could have loaded malicious software onto the PCs.
In one case, a contestant pretended to work for a company's IT department and persuaded an employee to give him information on the configuration of her PC, data that could help a hacker decide what type of malware would work best in an attack.
"For me it was a scary call because she was so willing to comply," said Hadnagy.
"A lot of this could facilitate serious attacks if used by the right people."
Defcon is organized by benevolent hackers, partly to promote research on security vulnerabilities in order to pressure companies to fix them.
The contest was sponsored by so-called white-hat hackers to show companies how weak their security is and encourage them to better educate their employees about the risks of hacking.
Other targets included Apple, AT&T, ConAgra Foods, Delta Air Lines, Symantec, Sysco, United Continental's United Airlines and Verizon Communications.
It was the second year that Defcon held a contest in "social engineering," where hackers con people into handing over information or taking actions such as downloading malicious software.
Social engineering is frequently used in attacks where the hackers send a "spear phishing" e-mail in which they impersonate a friend of the recipient and ask him or her to open a tainted file or visit a malicious website.
Security experts say spear phishing have led to many hacks over the past year, including ones on U.S. defence contractors, the IMF, EMC's RSA Security division and government agencies around the world.
"It's better whenever you can get data non-confrontationally," said Johnny Long, a consultant who companies hire to hack into their data networks, using tools such as social engineering, to identify weaknesses.
The contestants were charged with obtaining specific information from their targets, including information about how the company backs up and secures its data, wireless network use, and the names of companies that provide on-site security, toner and copier paper.

Album Review: 'Carolina'
Eric Church
"I don't think Waylon done it that way/And if he was here he'd say 'Hoss, neither did Hank,' " sings Eric Church on "Lotta Boot Left to Fill," the centerpiece of his tradition-conscious yet forward-looking second album. The North Carolina native isn't merely echoing the doubts that Waylon Jennings raised about the state of country music in his 1975 hit, "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way." He's choosing sides and, by implication, staking a claim for his own artistic bona fides.
Musically, Church's affinity with Jennings can be striking -- everything from the sinewy country-rock of "Lotta Boot" to his soulful crooning on the ballad "Where She Told Me to Go." The hooky "Without You Here" updates the twangy pop of Jennings's onetime employer, Buddy Holly.
But Church isn't content merely to do things Waylon's way. Produced by Jay Joyce, a veteran of the Nashville rock scene, his record is more inventive musically than most mainstream country releases. "You Make It Look So Easy," for example, opens with evocative strings that modulate back and forth between major and minor keys. Other tracks get a lift from up-to-the-minute drum programming while "Carolina," a nostalgic ballad, features atmospheric fretwork like that patented by U2 guitarist the Edge.
Full of references to beer, home cooking and NASCAR, the song's lyrics are less imaginative. But on musical terms alone, Church's "Carolina" is a commercial country rarity: an album that sounds terrific from start to finish.
-- Bill Friskics-Warren

I've used this tool for quite some time but after talking with a number of people, have discovered that most have never heard of it. It's a web service that automatically does tasks for you based on whatever rules you give it (they call them recipes). Here are some examples of processes you can automate with ifttt.com.
The recipes follow the simple IF…Then methodology.
You can check out sample recipes or create your own at http://ifttt.com.
I had once been a longtime user of OpenDNS for my home and some small businesses that I worked with. It served as a forward lookup DNS server and as a web filter for those networks. OpenDNS performed quite well. I don't know why but I eventually drifted away from OpenDNS as a web filter and implemented Barracuda Web Filters or spun up Squid/Squidguard on pfSense if the need were to arise. Recently though, with my personal company, CloudFirst Technologies, I needed a reliable and AFFORDABLE web filter for my customers. I stumbled across SafeDNS. It seemed to have the same features as OpenDNS but until I tried it, I didn't know how effective it was. I'm happy to report that it is a great alternative to OpenDNS. It blocks sites as expected, gives you control over the networks that belong to you, allows for custom profiles per network, etc. The price was not overly attractive initially, however, but they have recently reworked their K-12 pricing which made it the most cost effective filtering solution available.
In order to utilize the service you simply point your computer or DNS forwarder to SafeDNS's servers
220.127.116.11 &
22.214.171.124 then configure the network (source IP address) in SafeDNS's dashboard/control panel. You create a profile (site categories you want blocked) and assign a network to that profile. That's it, you are done.
Give them a try at http://safedns.com
I've been trying to get the look and feel of this site to a point where I'm happy again and something that has bothered me for some time now is the date at the top of the pages. This was a weird theme decision in my opinion. For what reason would a "static?" page need to have a date at the top of it?
Development and coding are not in my wheelhouse but I've always been to understand php and some other languages well enough that I can typically make small changes. In this case, I was able to remove the date from the top of the Page Template (page.php) file.
To do this, remove
<?php the_date(); ?) from the page.php template. Appearance –> Editor –> Page Template (page.php)
Click Update File and you're done.
That's it!
Note: There is probably a better way to accomplish this but until I discover it, I'll just have to fix the template any time their is an update. Not a huge deal I suppose.
After upgrading to Windows 10 on my main work computer, I could no longer connect to 2 XenServer 6.2 hosts and found out that the error was "Could not create SSL/TLS Secure Channel". After a bit of lazy searching I found a forum post that fixed the problem.
The actual fix for this is as follows.
service xapissl stop
mv /etc/xensource/xapi-ssl.pem /etc/xensource/xapi-ssl.pem.bak
/opt/xensource/libexec/generate_ssl_cert "/etc/xensource/xapi-ssl.pem" '10.10.6.27'
service xapissl start
Replace the 10.10.6.27 with the IP of the server host you are attempting to fix. This should resolve your ability to connect from XenCenter.
Please do not bother responding with how worthless this is. This is purely academic. A few of the guys at my office were curious and I was idle for a little while this weekend and got started with the basics of the basics in bitcon mining.
Go setup yourself a bitcoin wallet here –> http://www.trybtc.com There will be some tutorials, feel free to go through those.
You'll end up here –> https://coinbase.com This is where you can keep track of your account. First let's pop in there and grab the bitcoin address that we will use in a bit. You can find it under Account Settings –> Bitcoin Addresses. This is how others can give you money.
Create an account here –> https://mining.bitcoin.cz/ This is the only way that CPU mining is even relevant….which it's really not. This is a pool of individuals that work on mining bitcoin blocks.
Ok, now that you have setup the accounts, here is the basic how-to for setting up CPUMINER on Ubuntu 12.04 Server. I have this deployed on 16 VM's running 1 processor and 512 Megs of RAM each for testing.
Install Ubuntu 12.04 Server and get root
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/clamasters/linked/bcminingprep.sh
chmod o+x bcminingprep.sh
edit bcminingprep.sh for your worker user/pass found under "My Account" in the bitcoin.cz site.
Now you are mining. Please feel free to comment how fast or slow your mining is going. I have 16 VM's on modern hardware under XenServer 6.2 running on AMD processors all getting 4.57 khash/s. Please note…this is very slow and you will likely never make your money back once power is concerned.
If you want to learn more about bitcoin and bitcoin mining, here are 2 links that I found to be helpful. http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin and http://www.bitcoinmining.com.

Renault is planning to enter the 2018 Rallycross championship with a Prodrive-developed Megane.
Prodrive has confirmed that it will be teaming up with Renault to develop a brand new World Rallycross competitor for 2018, based on the latest Megane.
The company has so far confirmed that power will arrive courtesy of a turbocharged 2.0-litre unit in accordance with FIA regulations, placing it in the premiership WRX Supercar category. All participants deploy 600bhp through necessitated four-wheel-drive systems, allowing these raucous, rally outlaws to launch from 0-60mph in under two seconds.
Prodrive's entry into the 2018 season will represent their first fully-fledged involvement in the series. Rallycross, though, isn't totally unexplored territory for the Motorsport Valley-based firm. They were enlisted to develop the Mini WRX for the 2013 Global RallyCross Championship, which picked up victory at the season's curtain raiser in Munich. That said, experienced or not in this R-rated series, Prodrive's nous and clout in off-road racing means their new conception will likely be a fearsome competitor.
The famous Subaru collaborator has drip-fed the specs so far, keeping cards close to its chest. It has all but been confirmed though; the engine will be Prodrive designed and built, continuing the company's tradition of in-house engine development. Assumptions of component sharing with the new Megane RS (touted to have a 2-litre forced induction motor too) can be put to rest.
Prodrive's diversity of accomplishments across the motorsport board has driven them to take part in this rally off shoot. David Richards, Prodrive chairman said: 'It has long been an ambition of ours to compete in the FIA World Rallycross Championship. It's the fastest growing motorsport series in the world and gives us the opportunity to use all our engineering experience to create a car capable of winning the World title.'
There is little doubt the Megane RX will be capable of mixing it with the competition's front runners. To ensure such eventualities an Anglo-French relationship has been struck – French driver Guerlain Chicherit has been signed. He'll take to the wheel for the first time when testing gets underway in the last quarter of 2017. Chicherit is no stranger to the speed-and-sport combination. As a former Free Skiing World Champion and FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup winner he has the credentials to create a formidable partnership with Prodrive.
Guerlain Chicherit said: 'I'm so stoked to be working with the guys from Prodrive to build what has been my dream for a long time. I know that with the right team and the support we have, we'll be able to produce a car that will really make an impact in the paddock. I absolutely trust Prodrive to build the best car.'

Study in THAILAND with YES Abroad!
Thailand, a constitutional monarchy, is the only Southeast Asian country that has never been occupied by a European nation. The population is mostly indigenous, with a significant minority of Chinese. The majority of the country is Buddhist. The Muslim population of Thailand is largely focused in the southern tip of the nation, although small populations may reside across the country. While Thai is the official language, English is the secondary language for the well-educated elite. Thailand is mostly a rural country, but the urban population has been slowly increasing, particularly in the capital city of Bangkok. The country's tropical climate varies in intensity and is punctuated by a wet and dry season. Thailand's regions vary significantly in the diversity of their geography. While the north is covered in lush mountains, the northeast consists of a plateau, bordered by the Mekong River. A flat river valley makes up the center of the country, and the south widens into the Malay Peninsula from a narrow isthmus and is famous for its beaches. Tourism contributes significantly to Thailand's economy, which has seen growth over the past decade.
As with most countries, Thailand's cuisine reflects its tradition and culture. Each dish tries to balance the four main taste senses: sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. Thai food is known for being spicy, but varies significantly by region. Fruit is commonly served at the end of meals. Ethnic groups, religions, regional cultures, and tourists all collide in Bangkok. A colorful city, it is packed with cultural destinations like the National Museum, historical destinations like the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, and malls, markets, food, and entertainment.
A more subtle shock to the senses, though a significant cultural difference from the United States nonetheless, is Thailand's malleable sense of time. Rather than pressing the need for short-term results and instant gratification, Thais generally see success as something to be achieved over a lifetime and seek to build on their ancestors' goals in conjunction with setting goals for the future. It is not uncommon for a meeting, an appointment, or a get-together with a friend to begin an hour after the scheduled time. This tardiness is anticipated by Thais and is a natural element of Thai culture.
Learn more about being a YES Abroad student in Thailand:
Host Family
Students will live with host families in order to experience true immersion in the local culture. Families are selected based on recommendations by members of the local community, and each is carefully screened by AFS staff and volunteers. Families are carefully vetted through a thorough application process and are highly regarded by their relatives and neighbors. Hosting communities exist through the presence of a strong support network, with a local volunteer, staff member, or "liaison" available to each student hosted.
Your High School
Students will attend co-educational public high schools. The primary language of instruction will be Thai. School typically runs Monday to Friday, and uniforms are customary. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a number of extramural and extracurricular activities, such as Thai arts, dance, cooking, boxing, and various musical instrument lessons.
The Political & Security Environment
The United States enjoys good relations with Thailand. Thailand is an active member in organizations such as ASEAN, the UN, and the WTO.
For more information, visit the CIA World Factbook.
Health & Safety
With AFS's 55-year presence in Thailand, we are able to draw on strong local connections for a deep understanding of the intercultural, health, safety, and security issues. Prior to departure and upon arrival, students are given safety briefings by AFS staff. They will also receive security information from the U.S. Embassy's Security Office, and will be registered for the Embassy's travel alert system. AFS works closely before arrival and throughout the exchange year to discuss and prepare for students' well-being. YES Abroad students are covered by medical as well as Political and Security Evacuation Insurance. Students will have access to a 24-hour emergency number, and our staff members are thoroughly trained. Each student will be given a cell phone upon arrival and will be given the contact number for their local support representative and his/her national AFS-Thailand office. In the case of an emergency, a Duty Officer is on-call 24/7 in both Thailand and the United States. This number is made available to both students and their parents while on program. For further information on Thailand, visit the U.S. Department of State's website.
Enrichment Activities
Students will have the opportunity to take part in various activities to increase their interaction with local peers in Thailand. Activities may include field trips, sporting events, cultural excursions, social outings, and community service projects. Examples of previous enrichment activities include:
- Community service activities, such as volunteering to teach English to children with limited resources;
- Learning traditional dance and Thai cooking techniques;
- Participation in school athletic "Spirit Week" activities.
