May Meeting, Tuesday May 28, 2019

7:30 pm @ Harper Jr. High School

John Rickard Presents: Fly Fishing The McCloud River

his month, Tuesday May 28 at Harper Junior High School, the Fly Fishers of Davis

will be hosting guest speaker, John Rickard, who will speak about the McCloud River, home of

the most famous rainbow trout in the world and the brown trout that eat them. John will share

some of his favorite stories, helpful tips & tactics, The McCloud’s seasonality and geography.

John will give even the seasoned McCloud River angler another perspective on the iconic

fishery.

John Rickard is co-owner and guide for Wild Waters Fly Fishing in Mount Shasta California.

Wild Waters Fly Fishing is Orvis 2018 Outfitter of the Year and is comprised of dozens of the

hardest working guides in Northern California and Southern Oregon. The McCloud River defines

half of their business and is loved by all of their guides and clients. This success has allotted

thousands of guide days and a firm understanding of the river.

John has nearly fifteen hundred McCloud River guide days under his wading belt and has seen

this river change dramatically over the last 20 years.

Besides fishing, John practices analog photography and has married his two passions in a

published book. The McCloud River.

THE PREZ SEZ By Tom Robinson

"The fish and I were both stunned and disbelieving to find ourselves connected by a line."

- William Humphrey

Hello fellow fly fishers! May has been full of varying weather

patterns, but fortunately it has not interfered with the many

fishing opportunities. The month started with a guided float

down the Lower Sac with Mike Parker. My wife, Kim, won the

Mike Parker raffle board and fortunately invited me as her

fishing partner. We had a great day on the water with Mike.

Not only did he get us into 30+ fish, he was patient and great to

fish with. Mike has been a great supporter of our Club, donating

a guided float annually. Mike is retiring in November. If you

are interested in a float down the Lower Sac, I highly

recommend Mike while he is still guiding.

The rain held out for the 101 Hat Creek group. Dana Hooper

put on a fantastic outing. What a fun weekend camping at Hat

Creek Hereford Ranch, sharing with others our love of fly

fishing. It was great to see so many members new to the sport

have success catching their first fish on the fly. How cool to be

able to experience that.

The June meeting is the annual Fly Fishers of Davis Picnic

Potluck at Pioneer Park. For those new to the Event, it is a great

time to get together with fellow members, swap fish stories and

share your summer plans. The Club provides the hamburgers

and hotdogs, FFD Members provide the side dishes and desserts.

There is a brief announcement on page 4 of the newsletter with

your potluck assignment based on the first letter of your last

name. An Evite will circulate shortly so that we can get an idea

how much food to provide for the event.

We’ve got an excellent presentation planned for Tuesday night.

John Rickard will present on the McCloud River. He is an

expert on this river. You want want to miss this presentation if

your interested in fishing the McCloud.

FLY FISHING IN PATAGONIA – DISCOUNTED COST

LAGO ROSARIO LODGE (www.lagorosariolodge.com)

DATE TBD BETWEEN NOVEMBER 1, 2019 AND APRIL 30, 2020

The Logo Rosario Lodge, located in Los Aleceres National Park in the heart of Argentinian Patagonia, has

offered Fly Fishers of Davis seven 20% discounts on an 8 day/7 night/6 fishing days “one week program” for a

group from FFD. The package, normally priced at $4350 for the upcoming 2019-2020 fishing season will be

discounted to $3480 per person (double occupancy) for members of the FFD contingent. This is an all-inclusive

fee that includes lodging, meals, fishing licenses, and daily guide service to locations of the angler’s choice. See

contact information below for a handout containing rates, programs and terms of service.

The Board of Directors of FFD will facilitate the assembly of a group of FFD members who will determine the

dates of their “one week program” at Lago Rosario Lodge and will make their own travel arrangements. FFD

Directors Ken Lazzaroni (kmlazzaroni@yahoo.com) and Mark Sanders (drmfsanders@hotmail.com) are the

contacts for this one week adventure. Contact Ken or Mark to get detailed information on this opportunity. Ken

and Mark will assemble a list of interested FFD members and will work with the group to come up with its final

membership and trip dates.

As a ballpark estimate of the principal trip expenses, plan on a resort fee of $3480 and round trip air travel from

$2000-$2800, depending on dates and times of travel. In addition, anglers should plan on tips ($50-$100/day),

incidental expenses, supplementary activities and/or travel before or after the week of fishing. A budget of

$6000-$7000 will likely cover the main costs of the trip, with additional costs being determined by each traveler.

Note that air travel is estimated between San Francisco and Esquel Airport in Argentina, the final destination for

the trip. Travel requires at least one stop in Buenos Aires, but most carriers also appear to have a second stop.

Total travel time from SFO to Esquel Airport is 24-30 hours, depending on the carrier selected.

Please contact Ken or Mark for additional details and to indicate your interest in the trip. They will follow-up

with updates and details.

CONSERVATION REPORT By Lowell Ashbaugh

FFD Conservation email list at https://tinyurl.com/y3dxar2q

California Rep. Jared Huffman sparred with

Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Brenda

Burman recently over a controversial bid to enlarge

a dam in Northern California in what turned into a

tense exchange. I’ve excerpted the exchange here,

but you can read the complete story on it at the link

at the end.

Huffman repeatedly pressed Burman on the fact that

California doesn't want the project. In fact, the state

says it is illegal and sued earlier this week to block

it.

"Can you think of a single project in the history of

the Bureau of Reclamation that was built over the

opposition of the state in which the project existed?"

the chairman of the House Natural Resources

Subcommittee on Water, Oceans and Wildlife asked

at a hearing.

In response to Huffman's question, Burman quickly

responded, "I can," and noted Arizona's opposition

to the Parker Dam on the Colorado River.

Huffman continued, undeterred.

"Was that project illegal under Arizona law?" the

former Natural Resources Defense Council attorney

asked. "You have a specific California law that says

you can't build this project, and that's why California

is suing."

"I think there are a number of different opinions and

we've talked about this, about what that state law

says," Burman responded.

Huffman shot back, now breaking into laughter: "It

says the McCloud River is a wild and scenic river

that can't be impaired by a dam."

"We will continue to work under our authorities and

our funding to move forward to make sure that

Shasta is ready," Burman said.

Huffman then sought to get Burman on the record on

whether the bureau believes it already has

congressional authority to construct the dam under a

controversial water bill that was passed at the end of

the Obama administration.

"I think there are a lot of different interpretations out

there," Burman said.

"I'm asking for yours," Huffman quickly replied.

"I think if Congress were to move forward and say

that $57 million should be spent for the purposes

that were sent up, then yes, I think Congress would

be telling us to construct," Burman said.

Huffman took that to mean Congress would need to

separately authorize any construction of the dam,

which Burman disagreed with.

Then, he again pressed the commissioner on the

state law aspect.

"Were you to move forward with construction, you

acknowledge that would violate state law, right?" he

asked.

"Pardon me?" Burman replied. "I don't agree with

that."

Read the full story at E&E News. Friends of the River

provided an addendum, excerpted here, that expands

on the illegality of the project. The complete

addendum is in the link above.

F.O.R. addendum: The McCloud River is protected

by a special section of the California Wild & Scenic

Rivers Act (California Public Resources Code

§5093.542) that, in part, prohibits new reservoirs

above the McCloud River Bridge and Westlands

from assisting in the planning of projects with

federal agencies that could adversely affect the free-

flowing character of the McCloud River.

Reclamation’s final EIS for the dam raise concluded

that the impacts of raising Shasta Dam 18.5 feet

“would be significant” and “would conflict with the

State [Public Resources Code].” Reclamation is

preparing to construct the dam raise under the

authority of the Water Infrastructure Improvement

Act of 2016 (WIIN). The WIIN requires in §

4007(j). Consistency with State Law: Nothing in this

section preempts or modifies any obligation of the

United States to act in conformance with applicable

State law.

In related news, the California attorney general and

several environmental groups sued this week to stop

the Fresno-based Westlands Water District from

participating in plans to raise the height of the dam.

Two lawsuits were filed Monday in Shasta County

Superior Court. One by the state Attorney General's

Office and a second by the Friends of the River, the

Golden Gate Salmon Association, Pacific Coast

Federation of Fishermen's Associations, the Institute

for Fisheries Resources, the Sierra Club, Defenders

FLY FISHERS OF DAVIS PAGE 7 May 2019

of Wildlife and the Natural Resources Defense

Council.

The law protecting the river says that no state

agency can assist in the planning or funding of any

project that would affect the McCloud River, state

officials have said.

In a statement issued Wednesday morning,

Westlands said it was conducting an environmental

review of the project to determine whether it can

legally participate in supporting the project.

"The district has not yet made any determination

regarding the Shasta Dam raise project," the

Westlands statement says. "Rather, the district is

conducting the environmental review that Attorney

General Becerra complains of to adequately evaluate

the question before it: whether Public Resources

Code section 5093.543 precludes the district from

becoming a local cost share partner."

It’s unclear how the district can interpret the law that

precludes any state agency from participating in

such planning to allow them to participate in

planning.

Ron Stork with the Friends of the River said the

environmental group joined the suit because of the

need to protect the McCloud River.

“Westlands is violating the law by cooperating with

the Trump Administration’s aggressive plan to raise

Shasta Dam,” said Stork.

“The largest agricultural water district in the country

is trying to use taxpayer dollars to gain more water

to sell to corporate agriculture in the San Joaquin

Valley.”

Reclamation expects to sign up a cost-sharing

partner in August and let a construction contract in

December of this year. Under the WIIN Act,

Reclamation needs a cost-sharing partner at the 50%

level. Without Westlands, Reclamation may be alone

at the dance.

Juvenile Chinook salmon are directly affected by

weather in the world above their watery world. In

the Central Valley, these fish have a narrow window

in which to rear before they migrate to the ocean to

grow and thrive. The findings of a recent study in

the journal Ecological Applications suggest this

critical window may be shrinking, causing salmon to

leave fresh water sooner and at smaller sizes (Munsch

et al 2019). The researchers focused on the lower

Sacramento River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin

Delta, systems in which river conditions are largely

constrained by water stored in reservoirs. The

authors used environmental data from the reservoir

in concert with data on juvenile Chinook presence,

the size of juveniles captured just before entering the

ocean, and water quality information from sample

sites to investigate the effect of seasonal climate

patterns on the phenology of juvenile Chinook

outmigration. The results revealed that the spring

environment varied substantially among years, and

was affected by the conditions of the previous

winter. Notably, for each 1˚C increase in water

temperatures in April, juveniles were found to enter

the ocean 4 to 7 days earlier, which led to a 2.14 mm

decrease in the maximum size of out-migrating

individuals. The smaller sizes may make juveniles

more vulnerable to predators.

Because California winter temperatures are expected

to increase and snowpack is expected to

decrease substantially by century’s end, Chinook

populations may be at risk of experiencing

increasingly warm, dry winters. The authors of this

study suggest that nursery habitats in the lower

watersheds of the Central Valley may be enhanced

by allocating releases of cold water from reservoirs, which

may prolong water quality conditions suitable for

rearing. However, more studies are needed to

determine how spending less time in fresh water

affects salmon survival from fry to adulthood.

Keeping baby salmon cool may be key to ensuring

the persistence of the species in a warming world.

This was excerpted from The Fish Report - read the

full story at FishBio.

Representative John Garamendi has suggested an

alternative plan to a tunnel under the delta.

Following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to

withdraw permits for the proposed Twin Tunnels

project in favor of a smaller single tunnel, Rep.

Garamendi, D-Solano, issued a letter to the governor

expressing support for the decision while also

outlining alternative water plans.

Garamendi, who served as deputy interior secretary

under President Bill Clinton and whose district

represents more than 200 miles of the Sacramento-

San Joaquin Delta, has proposed developing another

plan to safeguard the Delta and prioritize things like

recycling and building new water storage rather than

constructing tunnels. The plan is outlined in a report

by Garamendi titled “Little Sip, Big Gulp: A Water

Plan for All of California.”

FLY FISHERS OF DAVIS PAGE 8 May 2019

“A westside route utilizing the Sacramento Deep

Water Ship Channel and then continuing southward

to the Tracy pumps, using existing conveyance

wherever possible, is the best way to minimize

impacts on productive agricultural land, flood risk,

and the environment,” Garamendi wrote in his letter

to Newsom. “Indeed, a westside route for a single,

rightsized pipeline at no more than 3,000 cubic feet

per second (CFS) design capacity is the only project

that can earn the support of Delta communities and

landowners, including me.”

Among other things, Garamendi noted that a

westside route was not considered in the Twin

Tunnels proposal.

“This money could have instead funded much-

needed upgrades and repairs to Delta levees, which

must be maintained to provide flood protection and

support continued water conveyance southward,” he

wrote.

“I’m pleased that Governor Newsom has abandoned

the Twin Tunnels boondoggle and decided to work

with us in the Delta community to design a plan that

works for all of California,” Garamendi said in a

statement. “I have spoken with the Governor directly

about my alternative plan to meet California’s water

needs while safeguarding the Delta. I look forward

to working with the Governor to protect the Delta as

the State now reviews alternatives to the defunct

Twin Tunnels.”

More information on Garamendi’s “Big Sip, Little

Gulp” plan can be found

at garamendi.org/issues/water/plan.

The Delta Stewardship Council just posted a

graphic explaining where California rain & snow

goes.

Of the 200 MAF of precipitation in a year:

115 MAF goes to evaporation & transpiration

20 MAF goes to North & Central Coast instream flows,

32% of the remaining 65 MAF (21 MAF) goes to

wetlands and Central Valley instream flows

This leaves 44 MAF of surface water for human use

statewide -- 22% of the total.

It’s not clear how the DSC allocated flows from

Wild and Scenic Rivers. Those flows are often

allocated to wetlands and instream flows (so called

“environmental” water) when in reality they are

often diverted downstream to consumptive purposes.

North coast flows are also often diverted to illegal

pot farms instead of being allowed to flow to the sea.

Despite these shortcomings, the graphic is a pretty

decent illustration of where precipitation falls and

how

FFD OUTINGS: Lower Sac Spring Float

Summaries by Members Photos by Members

Donn Erickson and Carl Lundsted floated the lower sac with guide “Lonnie” on Wednesday the 8th after

rescheduling from an earlier date due to high river flows.

The fishing report is as follows...

Some 25 fish were boated, an additional 15 or so we’re hooked and granted a long distance release, and there

were an unknown number of “misses” on the hook set.

Summary by Dana Hooper Photos by Members

What a wonderful weekend we had at Hat Creek with 18 people showing up for not sure 8th or 9th year of this

outing. There were lots of fish to catch and the weather worked in our favor. We did see a tiny amount of rain

but mostly at night. We had 7 new people catch their first fish on a fly, Awesome job people. Thank you for all

those that came up to help with the 101ers and give them a great chance to learn the art of the drift. Tom, Kurt,

Eric and Paul. You can’t forget the great food cooked by the Group with Gourmet Hamburgers, all the fixings,

Fruit salad, Baked Beans and Brownies and Cookies for dessert.

FFD OUTINGS: 2019 Shad Outing

Summary by Cary Boyden Photos by Members

Last year the shad outing was overall the best ever: the venue was Verona less than 40 miles away, everyone caught

something and we were back in Davis early enough to eat at Symposium. Unfortunately, the great rains of the winter made

a repeat an impossibility.

Accordingly, we thought of the Feather (no way as flows far too heavy) and further up the Sacramento. As to the latter, the

fly shop in Chico alternately suggested Colusa and Ord Bend. Assuming the fly gurus knew whereof they spoke we went to

Colusa (dumb move). The river looked ready for Spring plowing, and we were in 3 boats which would have to navigate 7

snag filled river miles with props to reach the purportedly productive water.. Discretion seemed the better part of valor, and

so we headed upriver to Ord Bend. There were only a few striper boats there and a big sign indicating a very shallow

launch area: obviously 2 more suggestions to go elsewhere. Running the risk of losing all the others tired of the

fishmeister's wild goose chase, the decision was, nevertheless, made to head up to our former usual waters above Scotty's

bar in Chico. Here there is a doable launch and a very easy snag free and deep enough stretch of river which has from time

to time been moderately productive.

So after maybe 2 hours of bouncing around wasting time we launched and headed the maybe 300 yards upriver to our

traditional run. The water was clearer and clearly not the dirt color of the downriver sections but nowhere near of the

clarity we have historically enjoyed. On the other hand, on the first let out of line for dangling there was a bump followed

quickly by Warren Caldwell landing a fish, For the next 3 hours there were intermittent grabs and catches by the group as a

whole. The end result was at least 30 fish landed or an average of slightly over 4 per member. To put this in context: as

with last year all members caught fish but even after running over a substantial portion of the north state, the 2019 average

catch was higher than in years, maybe as many as 15. Moreover, along with a goodly number of smaller males there were a

number of significantly larger hens. Stupid dumb luck or intelligent intuition to continue on to Scotty's????
