President’s Report
T
his being my first official message as the New President, I first would like to thank our Past President, Larry Martin, for his dedicated service over the past two years. Thank you, Larry. I look forward to working with Larry and the other elected members and directors in the upcoming two years. As we move into 2015 we will continue to maintain many of our present programs and look at any others that may be of interest to the club. One notable project is the planning/building of a new hatchery, with Tom Dellamater heading up this project. As Larry mentioned in his final report, we are not a political party but we encourage all members to express their views in a mature and rational manner. At the upcoming BCWF AGM in Fernie a 2015 Draft Resolutions package will be presented. Many matters are on the table, and one of interest is a resolution to lobby the BC Provincial Government to increase the number of Conservation Officers, and to reopen offices that were closed. Enforcement 1/92 and Enforcement 2/92 on page 13 of the document entitled 2015 DRAFT RESOLUTIONS to Present at the AGM April 23-25 2015 Fernie, BC outline those requests. Hopefully, we'll see some movement on those resolutions. Finally, we have a new Vice-President: Nick Pace. Well done, Nick! As our spring and summer approach, and we get closer to our yearly fishouts, I hope as many of you as possible join your fellow members in some fishing and companionship. Tight lines, Bob Holley President, Penticton Flyfishers

Adams River Foray by Chad Chislett
O
n March 14th, 2015, Greg, Ken and I set out to fish the mouth of the Adams River. It was the last day before the season closed and we wanted to get an early start that morning. Getting to the mouth of the river at sunrise means a 4:00 a.m. rise for us Okanagan folk, but I can’t think of a better reason to start the day so early. After an obligatory pit stop to Tim Horton’s, we were awake and burning with a fever for fishing, and hoping it would be a great day. Time went quickly while we chatted the entire drive and before we knew it we were anxiously pulling our waders on, lacing our boots, and hoping no one else had gotten there before us. Upon reaching the beach we caught the attention of two other anglers already fishing the main channel. We decided to cross the river and fish another nearby channel and try our luck. Within two minutes Ken and Greg were fishing while I struggled to get my rod set up. After finally getting ready, fishing for maybe 10 minutes, I realized I missed a guide while threading my rod! We had been fishing for just over an hour when I landed the first fish of the day. It pulled me into my backing line and jumped three times - a nice 2.5 lb rainbow. More time passed as we walked back and forth to the main channel, periodically taking breaks to warm up as it was an overcast day with some rain and that water was cold. After another couple of hours of nymphing with no luck, I decided to try a sink tip. I landed the second fish of the day within five minutes on an olive Stillwater Nymph. You just never know what might entice a hit on a slow day of fishing. Ken caught his first of the day after switching to an intermediate sinking line, and after taking a quick picture, released it back into the lake. That signaled the end of all action for us three on this particular trip. Although it was slow day fishing it made for a great day of fresh air, sharing a few stories, and wetting a line.

Close Up: Changes Coming to Kettle River System as Stream Rehab Project Underway
A
by Kevin Parnell - Kelowna Capital News
s new fishing regulations get set to go into effect on the Kettle and West Kettle Rivers east of Kelowna, making the two rivers catch-and-release only, a stream rehabilitation project is underway on the Kettle River system as stakeholders, communities and anglers come together to try and revive the fishing in the Kettle River watershed. As of April 1, the West Kettle and Kettle River will become 100 per cent catchand-release fisheries, meaning the age old practice of (legally) catching and killing fish in the Kettle system will come to an end, as fisheries biologists move to protect a fishery that has been in decline for at least the past 10 years. The rivers will also both be closed completely for a month in the hottest Regulation changes on the Kettle and West Kettle rivers go into effect stretch of summer—from July 25 to April 1, making both rivers catch-and-release only. Image contributed. Aug. 25 in the Kettle and Aug. 1 to Aug. 31 in the West Kettle—a time when low river flows and high temperatures by themselves can kill fish, making trout very susceptible to threats from predators and anglers. "This is the only river-style fishery in the region and is utilized by avid fly-fishermen," said Tara White, senior fisheries biologist in the Thompson-Okanagan Region. "The river is managed as a quality fishery. These changes will not only help conserve and protect wild stocks, they will help maintain and enhance angler opportunity on this unique river-style fishery. Hopefully it will also help address compliance concerns associated with it, which has been identified as a significant issue on the system, by simplifying the regulations." Previously only about 44 kilometres of the 260 km river was catch-and-release, meaning anglers had to use signs or markers to figure out where those locations were. Now both the Kettle and the West Kettle are entirely catch-and-release only, a move angling groups had been calling for over the past several years. "I applaud the ministry for changing the regulations," said Travis Lowe of the Kelowna-based Trout Unlimited chapter. "The truth is killing fish in the Kettle was never an environmentally sustainable model. The fishery is on the brink of collapse and it needed these regulation changes. Hopefully they stabilize the fishery for the future and hopefully they can find a way to police and monitor the river."

Raise your hand if you've heard of a fish known as the speckled dace. OK, good. Now stand-up if you have ever caught one. And that my friends would be quite the fish tale. You see the speckled dace is a member of the minnow family and only grows to a maximum four or five inches in its short four-year lifespan. Believed to be one of the first fish to re-colonize B.C. waters after the Ice Age, there are healthy populations of the speckled dace in the Western United States but here in Canada it lives in only one river system. That system: The Kettle River and its two main tributaries of the West Kettle and the Granby River. Close to the Canada-US border, the Kettle River flows over Cascade Falls and into the US. Due to the falls, the Canadian speckled dace is cut-off from its relatives south of the border and has even developed different characteristics from its American family. The specked dace is abundant in the US but in Canada it is a much different story. It is an endangered species, listed as an aquatic species at risk by the federal government and protected under the government's Species At Risk Act (SARA). "The dace are really cool because they are able to live in amongst the rocks," said fisheries biologist Darryl Arsenault from his Kelowna office. "They are very stocky and strong and can get in amongst the rocks. They are an important part of the food chain. It's all inter-connected. They feed on algae and small invertebrates. They live on those and are able to transfer the energy up to trout and birds that feed on them. One of the biggest pressures on them is sediment coming down the river that takes nice clean rocks and fills it with sand so they can't access food or hiding places." Those rocky hiding places and natural habitat of the speckled dace is the same habitat that rainbow trout need to spawn in. And because dace are listed on the SARA, there is federal money available to try and help them. And that in turn will help trout, the Interior of B.C.s top angling target. "Anytime you reduce sediment moving down the system you also help rainbow trout because rainbow trout spawn in the same type of gravel these guys live in," said Arsenault. "If you protect the speckled dace you also help the rainbow trout." According to Arsenault, past and current logging practices in the area have resulted in increased sediment heading down the river and other practices like agriculture and bridge-building have long allowed too much sediment to enter the Kettle system. The logging wouldn't even have to be in close proximity to the Kettle to have an impact. Sediment is fed into the Kettle system from feeder streams, many of which come through cutblocks or other areas that have been logged and dump sediment into the main river channel. Over time the sediment impacts the river by eroding the banks and widening it, and lowering the water level as the sediment is deposited on the river bed. Put together with low flows in the summer, intense agriculture practices that remove water from the river and a history of over-fishing and the Kettle system is hurting. To fight the sediment problem, Arsenault, is working on a project to improve habitat for the speckled dace, a $116,000 project with funding through the federal government, in-kind donations as well as a $20,000 boost from Trout Unlimited (TU) in Kelowna. Travis Lowe with TU says his group has been sitting on the money for years, looking for an appropriate conservation project to put it towards. "I think this project dovetails nicely with what our goals at Trout Unlimited are in terms of conserving Canada's freshwater and coldwater resources," said Lowe. "It really fits in with what we are trying to do on the Kettle River especially with the rainbow trout fishery because the speckled dace needs the exact same thing as rainbow trout need which is clean water free from sediment. We have had that money sitting in the bank and have been

looking to try to find a project where we can put the money on the ground. It feels really good to see that happening right now." The project, underway this month, will see willow, cottonwood, dogwood and other plants re-planted on certain stretches of the Kettle, West Kettle and Granby rivers. As the new plants grow they will create a new forest and new stability on the banks, catching the sediment as it flows downstream and also stopping the erosion of the banks. It is expected to eventually create deeper pools in the river, improving fish habitat. "This is the first crack at creating some enhanced habitat," said Arsenault. "I'm not going to say it's going to fix the problem. This is really the first effort by people in the watershed to get together and put their effort together to restore habitat. It's a small effort. It needs to keep going. This is just a first step in a long process of trying to do some restoration and education for people." QQQ Over-fishing, illegal fishing, water licenses, agriculture use, logging. There are many things affecting the Kettle River. But as new fishing regulations go into effect on April 1, there are more and more people working to save the Kettle and revive a unique fishery that is a shadow of what it once was. Last November the Regional District of Kootenay-Boundary endorsed a Kettle River Watershed Management Plan, setting a plan to work towards four main strategies: 1. Increase community understanding, support and capacity for stewardship of the watershed, 2. Improve the quality, reliability and security of water supplies through sustainable management of water resources, 3. Improve watershed health and function, 4. Maintain or enhance recreational, cultural and amenity values. "Now that there is a management plan that is really important," said Arsenault. "They are looking at taking that management plan to the next level as a way to keep getting funding and keep things moving forward." Along with Arsenault's speckled dace protection project, other work is also underway and being guided by the strategies laid out in the plan. The Christina Lake Stewardship Society is planning a lakeshore restoration demonstration and native plant nursery, and funding proposals have been submitted for bank stabilization and fish habitat improvement on the Kettle River near Grand Forks. A plan is being developed to bring together all of the water suppliers in a water conservation strategy and education program, and a ‘learning garden’ at the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre will demonstrate water conservation, soil improvement, and an ecological landscape design system called permaculture. And while those projects may seem like they are a ways away from Kelowna, the importance of the Kettle River stretches far away from the land it crosses. "There is a strong passion and a strong interest for that watershed," said fisheries biologist Tara White of the Kettle. "There is also a strong sense of ownership amongst the locals which goes a long way to help protect and maintain fish habitat. Its those kinds of joint efforts where you have stakeholder engagement and community interest that at the end of the day makes a big difference."

Kettle River Projects for 2015
W
by Nick Pace
ell, folks, the time has come for hard cash from donations, fundraisers and funding to be used on the ever-so-endangered Kettle River. The implementation of the Environment Canada/Trout Unlimitedfunded Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Project for Speckled Dace in the Kettle River Watershed has begun. It’s a great chance for the enhancement of our wild trout stocks for future generations. The main focus of this spring's work is to finalize site design and logistics for planting, harvest and store then soak cuttings of dormant willow, cottonwood and red-osier dogwood, and plant as many as we can into selected gravel bars and stream banks near the Granby/Burrell confluence, Christian Valley near Kettle Canyon camp site, and the West Kettle between Carmi and Beaverdell. Several dates for work parties for harvesting cuttings and planting gravel bar and stream bank locations have been set aside. Each day the aim is to have at least six hours in the field. Stay tuned for more‌

Good News Bears by Tom Dellamater & Phil Rogers
F
or the last twenty five years CHBC-TV, through the efforts of their weather man Mike Roberts (now retired), has raised thousands of dollars for charity organizations throughout the Okanagan. Good News Bears were purchased by individuals or various clubs, the Penticton Flyfishers being one such club. Our club has participated in this venture for many years and has been represented with the efforts of our club member George Graw. Once the Bears have been produced they are normally displayed by Mike Roberts at various Okanagan Valley shopping malls. Individuals can then make a charitable donation and, at the same time, have their names entered for a draw, usually around Christmas. This was the final year in which this event was to occur, as the lady who manufactured the bears was retiring. On January 13, 2015, several members of the PFF were on hand at Cherry Lane Mall in Penticton for the awarding of this year's Good News Bears. This was the last year of the Good News Bears campaign organized by the local Okanagan TV station CHBC. Retired weatherman Mike Roberts was once again on hand to award the Bears to the lucky winners selected from amongst the donors to Penticton's Food Bank. The Good News Bears campaign has raised over $3 million for the various Okanagan food banks over its 25 year run. The Penticton Flyfishers have donated a Bear for the past nine years of the campaign. This year our Bear was named George in honour of George Graw who has looked after arranging our Bear donation for the past nine years. By chance George was one of the lucky winners of a Bear this year. Unfortunately, he was not able to secure ownership of "George" as it was awarded to another winner. He did, however, win a very fine looking Bear donated by the Pentiction City Pound.

Hello all, This is a trial page for anglers to share info on recent fishing outings, post pics, report interesting fish stuff and basically spend time on while they are NOT fishing! My name is Jason Webster and I have lived, fished and worked with fish in the Okanagan for the past 25 years. I had never seen an actual page on face book devoted to this type of thing and figured it would be a great thing to try. It may be slow to start but, as more anglers and fish/environment fans join, it could be an excellent tool for sharing fishing info and learning the science of fisheries-related topics. Hope you enjoy, lets see how it goes...."
