President’s Letter, January 2021Suncoast Fly Fishers,Out with the old, in with the new. Happy New Year! Well, I hope youaren’t disappointed, but things really haven’t changed all that much justyet. We still have the virus, we are still social distancing and SFF is stillnot holding in person events. Trust me, things are about to get better.The vaccine has gotten off to a rocky start but that will soon get sortedout.Here is what I see going forward. As soon as the vaccine becomes widelyavailable to the point that most people can get the shots if they want themand the infection rates start coming down, we will resume in personevents. I don’t know exactly when that will happen, but I am guessing it will be sometime late summer orearly fall. The board will review the situation each month and as soon as we think it is safe to go back in thewater, we will let you know.What does that mean for the club? It means that we won’t have our Trash & Treasure auction this month, wewon’t have a casting clinic this winter or spring and we won’t have a Hog Roast again this year. We willcontinue to have monthly member meetings on ZOOM and virtual outings each month. Bruce will continue tohold online fly tying classes each Monday night and we will continue to grow our social media footprint. Youcan look forward to some exciting presentations at our member meetings. This month we will have apresentation by Christina Welsh. Christina is a graduate student at USF College of Marine Science. She is therecipient of last year’s inaugural SFF sponsored scholarship and the FFI Conservation Award. Her researchfocuses on understanding the metabolic physiology of larval fish in response to climate change.When we return, we plan to do it in style. Our first in person meeting will feature a special event and our firstouting will include a family picnic with one of our signature meals, games and giveaway’s. We will schedule acasting clinic in the fall and again after the first of the year in 2022. November will be our open house. Thistime we will do it live and in person. December will bring the return of the SFF holiday party and nextJanuary we will resume our Trash & Treasure auction. In March of 2022 we will gather for our best Hog Roastever after a 2-year hiatus.We won’t ever forget 2020 and we may not ever return to precisely the way things were before the pandemic,but we will get back to doing the things that SFF is known for and we will get back to doing it in person.Stay safe and keep fishing!Stay safe and keep fishing!RickRick Warfel, SFF PresidentJanuary 2021On The FlyNewsletter of the Suncoast Fly FishersPage 2

Bob Burkard: December Outing, Fort DeSoto ParkDennis Marquis and Tony Piazza scored. Everybody else, not so muchBob Burkard, OutingsCommittee chairmanThe thing about fishing is the fish getto decide when they eat. OnDecember 12, for the Decemberouting, some diehard Suncoast FlyFishers met up early at the boat rampat Fort DeSoto Park.We waded in andfly-fished that big flat to the west.Was fishing slow? Well, yeah.Except, for two members, it turnedpositive. But you had to stay aroundfor the change of tide. They were patient, don’t you see?Dennis Marquis and Tony Piazza stayed put on the flat andthen, as the clock inched toward noon, they bothenjoyed 90 minutes catching nice slot trout. Tony caughtan 18.5 inch seatrout. No snook, redfish, or ladyfishwere measured and photographed but we do have prooffor the longest seatrout. That would be Dennis’ 19.5incher. We have a winner.The rest of us had to settle for little fishies. James Daviscaught two trout (16”, 14”) and a sheepshead (10”). Heexpected better. He had fished the same area the daybefore the outing and caught a 28-inch redfish that tookhim into his backing. So a bunch of us gave up only todiscover another let down. Some members parked theircars in slots reserved for boat-and-trailer. The result? A 30 parking ticket. Yeah. Yuk.Dennis Marquis caught the longestseatrout for the December outing prize.Tony Piazza with one of many 18- inch seatrout.Bill AuCoincaught a tinytrout and a littlebarracuda.Others on this flatdidn’t fess up tocatching anythingworth talkingabout.“cuda was not the designated speciesThey were ready for action, but were the fish?

Tom Gadacz: Meet Christina Welsh at the SFF Zoom MeetingSuncoast Fly Fishers’ 2020 scholarship winner joins us Thursday, January 21. Christina Welsh is a second yearPh.D. student researching the effects of climate warming on the populations of marine species.On November 8, 2019, Suncoast Fly Fishers (SFF) established the Suncoast FlyFishers Scholarship at the University of South Florida, College of Marine Science tosupport a graduate student’s research on the conservation, restoration, and reclamationof Tampa Bay and West Coast Florida Fisheries.Cliff Nigh, SFF Conservation Chair, proposed this award to the SFFBoard which approved its establishment and funding of theTom Gadaczfirst 500 award. Cliff and FFI President Tom Gadacz met withLaurie Scott, Director of Development at USF, to discuss thescholarship. We stipulated that each scholarship recipient speaks about their researchat an SFF membership meeting. We also discussed the opportunity for students to applyfor the Fly Fisher International (FFI) Conservation Grant Program.The USF College of Marine Science awarded the inaugural SFF scholarship to ChristinaWelsh, a second-year Ph.D. student studying Biological Oceanography. Christina alsoapplied for the FFI Conservation Grant program for graduate students doing meritoriousresearch.Cliff Nigh, SFFConservationCommitteeChairmanThe FFI Florida Council reviewed and approved Ms. Welsh’s application and research proposal and sent it toDavid Peterson, FFI Conservation Chair for the FFI Conservation Committee’s review. Christina wasawarded the FFI Conservation Award of 2,000 to support her research.Christina’s research focuses on understanding the metabolic physiology of larval fish concerning climatechange. This includes measuring the amount of oxygen consumed by fish at rest and during exercise, and theminimum levels of oxygen needed for survival. By measuring these things at different temperatures, it ispossible to estimate how fish populations change as seawater warms. The research will include species thatare important components of recreational fisheries in Florida, like Red Drum and Spotted Seatrout.Christina first became interested in studying marine science as an undergraduate at Stockton University, inher home state of New Jersey. Living in a small town close to the ocean showed her the value that naturalresources provide to coastal communities. That was reflected in her research interests, as she participated inmany projects that looked at the effects of climate change on important coastal species, including oysters,scallops, and various types of fish. Outside of school, her hobbies include running marathons and spendingtime with her two cats.Cliff and I are very proud of Christina Welsh and her background and commitment to Florida marine researchand look forward to hearing her speak at a future SFF membership meeting.TomPS Zoom meeting link:January 2021: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82761499392On The FlyNewsletter of the Suncoast Fly FishersPage 8

Tim Elms: Slow and SteadyHowdy! Love it or hate it, it’s that time of year where wading may be your only hopefor fly fishing. Fishing for me has been quite slow. I catch a Bass almost every trip,but they too are slow and deep, probably waiting for the water to come back toconsistent temps.When the tides are super low, the cold fronts come once a week, and the bait is small;redfish and seatrout are stalking the flats, and that means you may be breaking outyour waders for the first time since, well, last January.Chances are you put on your trusty waders and in about 10 seconds you feel apesky pin hole leak making it quite chilly and wet inside. I have a tip if you havetried to find a pin hole without any success. Turn the waders inside out.Grab a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Soak some on a rag or paper towel.Then start to wipe the waders as if you are just cleaning the insides.If you have a pin hole or small tear or seam, the alcohol will show adarker spot where the penetration is! It’s that simple.Grab some Aqua Seal and put a small bit on it to seal up that spot. Don’tpatch from the outside as that layer of material is hard to seal anythingon.First bass of the yearOn the last week of December, I had a quick chance to try my luck on a flat. I will be honest and say I have notwade-fished since our January 2020 outing! With so many good spots around and opportunities for fishingon a boat, I really put off my wading.I walked in at Weedon Island on the North end and caught several decent ladyfish in a quick hour. Every timeI get into a school of feeding ladyfish, I can’t help but keep doing it over and over. It’s too fun not to have themleap around, destroy your favorite fly, and then poop on you.Nothing else was happening and only a small school of mullet could be seen. I decided to pack up and head toTampa for my last hour or so and went in at Picnic Island Park. The wind hadpicked up and snowbirds were everywhere. I decided to make a break for amud flat that no one else wanted to walk to. With my trusty white baitpattern in hand I was expecting a trout or two, but low and behold I finallycaught a redfish on a fly while wading solo.I really was proud when I was bringing it in and even made a few out loudcheers. Sometimes it pays off to mix it up a bit. Hope this encourages someof you to get out and fish! Stay safe and healthy!Strip Strip Strip!-Drummer BoyJanuary 2021On The Fly-TimNewsletter of the Suncoast Fly FishersPage 9

Dennis Marquis: December Seatrout Blitz at Madelaine KeyIt all started with the December 12 club outing. A group of us met to wadeMadelaine Key, which includes the Ft. De Soto Park pubic boat ramp. Tony Piazza and Iheaded for the south point with a nice view of the RV Park across the boat channel. Wefished that whole point until 10am with no action. At about that time I started to seecurrent movement in an area back over my right shoulder that I had previously fished.It now looked more interesting and worth asecond shot. Oh yeah!First cast into the current stream and boom a nice slot trout on of course,the red rouser. Then I started to see areas of 3-5” bait leaving the waterin a panic. Several times I just dropped the fly into this mayhem and hadquick hookups. I got Tony’s attention and he waded over and got into theaction.Now facing west with the key behind us we continued to have action for asolid hour moving slowly northward as the school moved. I fished therouser until I lost it and tied on a thunderstruck minnow, which provedto be equally productive. I landed a half dozen nice trout, couple of 20” ladyfish and lost just as many. Having fished this spot for the first time, itcertainly got my attention and required follow-up visits.Red rouser, the seatrout arouserTony Piazza with one of manyfat seatrout he caught onouting day at MadelaineKey/Fort DeSoto Park.My nephew Matt, a fly-fisher, came up from Wellington, Florida tofish the following week. We fished the same spot, this time from myboat on Tuesday, December 15. We had steady action for two hoursusing a red rouser tied light with a small dumb bell eye. There had tobe hundreds and hundreds of trout spread over the tip of the flat. Wewere getting multiple strikes with every cast. Matt thinks we landed100 fish between us. That may have been the case, I’ll confidentlyagree to 40 each.Saturday, December 19th turned out to be a better day weather wise, so Cindy and I decided to take a lateafternoon trip to the same spot. We had an incoming tide and I noticed water moving around the southern tipof the key, so we quietly motored into position with the bow into the current. First cast, game on! Cindy washooking up with a dark green and white rubber paddle tail on a ¼ ounce jig head; water was 6-8’ deep in thatarea. I got set with my fly rod, and we had fun for about an hour. Cindy took a break, got out her binocularsand watched a nearby team of ospreys building a new nest. I continued to fish merrily singing Xmas songsand having fun. Cindy agreed that we each landed 25 fish. I believe it was a bit more for me, as she stoppedfishing. For the record, I was using a red rouser and thunderstruck again.--Continued on next page—January 2021On The FlyNewsletter of the Suncoast Fly FishersPage 10

P2/Dennis Marquis: December Seatrout BlitzMy older son Ben arrived December 23 for the holidays. He is a flyfisher. Christmas Eve morning found us on the water, fishing MadelaineKey and we found the trout again. Ben doesn’t get to fish often; heworked the kinks out of his cast pretty quickly and had a blast. As it wasChristmas eve, we promised Cindy we would make it a short trip, soafter another 25 day for each of us, we headed home. Red rouser wasthe fly for the day.Ben and I went back to the same spot on the 27th. It was a bit slow, sowe motored to the tip of the key where Cindy and I found the trout andwe found a few. Then we slowly motored in parallel to the mangrovesand would pick up a few, drift, anchor and repeat. The surprise here wasfewer trout, but bigger. Most were 18” with a couple over the slot. Wedid switch from the red rouser to an olive green half n half clouser tiedheavy with large dumbbell eyes, as the drop off from the mangroves wasBen Marquis, Dennis’ older son, isabrupt and deep. Again we promised Cindy anearly trip, so we headedan avid fly fisher and SFFhome – but as we passed by Arrowhead Picnic area we noticed severalmember.fly fishers and we could see them with bent rods. I told Ben we had timefor a 30-40-minute stop. We otored in slowly, all three were visiting and knew nothing of our club. Theywere having fun with the trout. Ben and I moved the boat away from them fishing on the west side of thatsmall rock jetty. Tied the lightweight rouser back on, here we got into the trout immediately – mostly smalland below slot size. All toll another 25 day for each of us.This was probably the most productive month of seatroutfishing ever for me, and I did it with four different people.I continue to try and hone my skills so that I end up releasing the fish no worse for wear. Especially whenlanding fish in such high numbers, if you forgo diligent catch and release practices, you could do a lot ofdamage. I always start with a 7wt loaded with a sink tip and try to be easy on the fish. I have to use a 20lbtippet, any lighter and it won’t hold up to ladyfish, mackerel, jacks, etc.I now use mostly #4 Mustad 3407 debarbed hooks. The #2 is too big for trout less than 15”, they damage themouth too much. I also shy away from #6 size hooks as it seems that these are more easily swallowed leadingto challenging hook extractions. The #4 also seems sufficient when I find slot and above slot trout, so I willstick with it until I notice a difference. I take fewer pictures, opting to use the dehooker boat side to drop thetrout back into the water quickly untouched by human hands.I am going to buy a fresh water trout landing net, one of those rubber ones so that I can use it as needed fortougher release conditions while keeping the fish in the water. If you have any other ideas, please let meknow. Remember, the tug is our drug, so, as you can, fish it!DennisJanuary 2021On The FlyNewsletter of the Suncoast Fly FishersPage 11

Marshall Craig: Everglades Winter SnookThe first week in December I fished in the EvergladesNational Park with my friends Kip and Tom from OrmondBeach. When I got a call from Kip inviting me to fish, Iwas pumped. He said the snook bite had been on fire inthe park.Marshall Craig with a nice Flamingo snook caughtin early December.Kip, my graduate school roomie, knows whereof hespeaks, having fished the Glades for 50 years. When wefish, he drives the boat and provides the knowledge ofwhere to go. Tom and I get out the beer and fried chickenfor lunch and hold the line when his Action Craft slidesoff the trailer at the Flamingo ramp. We are also in chargeof covering the SUV with the vulture-proof tarp while itsits in the parking lot. In practice, the vultures sneer atthe tarp and tear it up at will.We fished for three days, both inside - working out of, and around Whitewater Bay - and outside - in andaround the river mouths leading into Ponce de Leon Bay. We worked the mangroves and the river and bayshorelines hard, with tight casts into likely holes. Any fly or lure landing more than a foot out from a nice slotwould not get rewarded. The bow fisherman, working the electric motor, and the middle fisherman casthardware, the stern fisherman had the option of casting a fly.We fished Clousers to get the fly to drop quickly. This is problematic becauseof the clutter of roots and timber littering the bottom. Snagged hooks are afact of life. If you aren’t snagging you either aren’t getting the lure down, inthe case of fishing the river on theoutgoing tide, or getting the lure closeenough to mangrove cover in the caseof fishing inside.Flamingo fly rod and Clouser usedto fly fish the Everglade mangroveshorelines. If you hooked up with amangrove root, that was a signyou were letting the fly sink, andthat’s a good thing.January 2021On The FlyWe had a great fishing experience, interms of numbers of snook and sizewith five exceptionally large ones. Kipcaught the snook pictured on a 7weight rod. The fly was a deep Clouser,tied on 1/0 hook with heavy eyes. Notethe broken lateral line.
