SEMINARS

Speakers & SeminarsBill Spicer. Bill started fishing more than 35 years ago and after trying flyfishing 25 years ago has never looked back. Bill is an accomplished tyer, author, guide, lecturer and teacher and an FFF certified Master Fly Casting Instructor. Bill is Host of The New Fly Fishing T.V. show and has been a regular writing contributor to the Canadian Fly Fisher magazine with his casting articles. Bill has travelled extensively across North America and fly fished for most species including salt water. Bill is a passionate angler and a fixture on most area streams and symposiums, lecturing and at tying tables. Bill has an intense love for casting but would sometimes rather teach than fish and his easy going nature together with his ability to make his students understand has earned him a reputation as a teacher’s teacher.

3. 8.

21 & 28 Flyfishing Newfoundland and Labrador for Atlantic Salmon and Giant Brook trout. This talk will focus on flies, technique and the beauty of these areas. Exciting footage from The New Fly Fisher show will be included in this lecture.

25 & 24 Fighting Big Fish. Proper technique is essential for success in fighting big fish. With the aid of footage from The New Fly Fisher show bill will explain the dos and don’ts of fighting big fish.

Jack Imhoff. Jack Imhof is an avid angler and lifelong resident of Ontario. Jack has been fishing in Ontario since he was five years old. And fly fishing since he was seventeen. Jack’s interest in fly fishing has taken him all over Canada and the U.S., as well as England and Argentina. Jack fishes actively for trout, salmon. bass, panfish, pike and Ameri-can shad and occasionally musky. Jack has presented fly fishing shows over the years at many Canadian Fly Fishing shows in Toronto, as well as clubs across Ontario and Canada and has published articles in various magazines. Jack was an aquatic ecologist and research scientist with the Ontario M.N.R. for 30 years and for the last eight years has been national biologist for T.U. Canada. Jack’s other hobbies include photography and martial arts.

31 Prospecting for trout. This presentation will explore the links between geology, stream productivity and distribu-tions. The tools presented can help the knowledgeable angler to prospect for trout around the world and determine the watersheds that have the highest potential for trout.

36 Natural tendencies of rivers. Rivers flow and scroll across our landscapes in various forms and patterns. Each stream form creates distinct and unique opportunities for fish. Understanding these natural tendencies of rivers can help the knowledgeable angler read the water and determine what habitat can be expected and where fish will likely be found.

Mike Verhoef. Mike has been chasing anything that swims for three decades and is also now entering his eighth season of guiding in S.W. Ontario. Having a number of T.V. appearances and magazine articles to his credit, there is a good chance you will be familiar with Mike’s passion and knowledge of the sport. With his upbeat personality and vast insight we are pleased to have Mike at the Forum again this year. He is always good for sharing an interesting story or two, a few secret fly recipes and countless photographs capturing his past adventures pursuing fish with a fly.

1 & 8 Is a Two Hander for You? With the recent interest (maybe even craze) in Spey or two handed rods, Mike will simplify why you should consider adding one of these weapons to your arsenal. Whether you are experienced, a beginner or even just considering using a two handed rod, this seminar will offer you some insight as Mike shares his experiences of introducing numerous folks to a two hander.

5 & 4 Swigg’in for summer smallies. Not imbibing midstream but a tactic Mike has nick named “swigg’in. It has something to do with the act of swinging and using a jig fly while pursuing stream smallies and is sure to interest you. Mike will share his insight on the gear needed, the flies used and numerous photos of world class smallies caught using this tactic, which Mike says also works for trout!

Izaak Walton Flyfishing Club Founded in 1971 the Izaak Walton Flyfishing Club maintains a membership of over 150. Its principal objectives are to promote fly fishing as a sport and conservation practice, to instruct others in the sport and to promote and engage in habitat restoration and conservation.

The club meets twice a month from late September to early May. Meetings alternate between a general meeting, when guest speakers make presentations on a variety of fly fishing topics; and a fly tying gathering, where new tyers can use club tools and attend the beginners class, and more experienced tyers can watch an expert guest tyer or participate and tie with the advanced class. After the meetings many members gather at a local pub for a few wings.

Meetings are held at the Cawthra Community Center on Cawthra Rd just south of the QEW. Fly Tying meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month and General meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month.

Casting clinics are held twice a year, spring and fall with certified casting instructors.

Club outings to local trout ponds or bass lakes occur from time to time.

Fly fishing mentors are available to guide new fly fishers.

Members receive the emailed Single Haul newsletter and the annual Double Haul magazine.

Members have access to the club library.Separate rates for Youth, Individuals and Families

You are welcome to attend one meeting without join-ing and register at a later time.

Conservation ActivitiesDespite the pressures of ongoing population growth, urban development, and climate change, there are numerous wild trout streams within 75 km of the GTA. That’s significant when you consider that the GTA is the fifth largest urban center in North America. However, without the continuing conservation efforts of government and non-gov-ernment organizations, including IWFFC, to offset the effects of urbanization, we risk losing the aquatic resources. While the principal function of the Forum is to teach Fly Fishing, its secondary purpose is to raise awareness of, and generate funds for conservation. IWFFC has a 30-year history of conservation activity.

The club was Involved in both multi year and new projects in 2010. We worked with Bill Christmas from the Ted Knott chapter of T.U. with Beaver Baffles and sediment traps on a tributary of the Grand River. We also worked with the Greg Clark chapter of T.U. on the C 3. project in Orangeville for the upper Credit. In partnership with the Greg Clark chapter of T.U. for the third consecutive year, 520 shrubs and trees were planted along mill Creek to help improve the quality of surface Water. The club continued its support and partnership with CVC for the Upper Credit Watershed with planting, sediment traps etc. In 2010 the IWFFC secured over $ 3,600 in funding. The club has continued its support of the NVCA on the upper Notttawasaga with successful results. The IWFFC was represented at 28 events and fairs of various kinds in 2010. We talked about conservation while showing over 1100 people, mostly kids, how to tie a woolly worm. Club rods were used to give casting lessons at eight of these events.

We need your help to maintain and improve our aquatic resources. Please visit the exhibit booths of Credit Valley Conservation Authority, Trout Unlimited, IWFFC, and others to learn more about conservation activities in your area. Consider volunteering and making a donation at one of the booths or on the registration form at the back of this brochure.

Steve Wascher. At a very young age Steve sat and watched his father tie dry fly patterns for Western N.Y. and N.W. Pennsylvania on his old Herter’s vice. Soon thereafter Steve began tying himself. Forty five years later, Steve still approaches fly tying with a zealous enthusiasm. He has learned from tyers such as Chris Helm, Oliver Edwards, Mike Martinek Jr. and a host of others and continues to explore the limitless boundaries of the fly tying spectrum that is offered and in addition to being a demonstration tyer has had articles published in numerous magazines. 23 & 26 40 Years of Tying Tips and Tricks. Whether you are a new or seasoned fly tyer, Steve has a few tricks that will certainly enhance both your ability to tie better flies and improve the durability of your flies. Steve will utilize both a power point demonstration and a hands on tying demonstration in order to completely cover all techniques thoroughly. Steve will cover the following techniques; mastering the “ parachute dry fly “ muddled with muddlers showing several quick and simple variations to this already great pattern, midge magic, Steve will help you take the frustration out of tying small flies. The topics that will be addressed are tailing, hackling and whip finishing.

27 & 22 Spinning deer hair flies the “Wascher Way “ As a master of the art of spinning deer hair, Steve will demonadeer hair, trimming deer hair and selecting the best materials and deer hair. You’ll surely gain a great deal of knowledge from this unique presentation.

He has fished all over Canada, in the U.S. and Caribbean but, most of all, introducing the arts and skills of fly fishing to the public.

3 & 6 So You want to go to the Yukon. Going on the trip of a Lifetime is an exciting proposition but where do you go, what do you need to take and how do you get there? Having just come back from such a trip,let me introduce you to fly fishing the Yukon, what you need to take and your options for getting to the fish there. This seminar will help you plan your trip and make sure you have precisely what you need to tackle the giants of the Yukon.

7 & 2 Practical knots for the fly angler. The single most important Connection between you and your fish is a knot (or two or three) In this Seminar, I will introduce the angler to a set of knots for every occasion. This will be a hands-on program with every audience member tying along. No Bimini Twist or Ligature Knots. These are simple but effective knots and From arbour to shock tippet, this program will help you insure your knot Is not the weakest link.

Trevor Nowak. Trevor Nowak is a fisheries biologist living in Campbell River B.C. with his wife and fishing partner, Erin. Trevor was born and raised in Southern Ontario, but moved out West when he was 18 to study natural resource conservation at the University of B.C. When he was 8 years old, he learned to fly fish for Brookies and Browns in the small tributaries of Georgian Bay near his parent’s farm in Grey County. His father Wally, played a crucial role in developing Trevor’s interest in the sport by teaching him that skipping class or failing to complete homework assign-ments was fine, so long as they both got to go fishing. Trevor has guided anglers in B.C.’s central interior and the Canadian Arctic. He has been manager and head guide at Plummer’s Tree River Lodge in Nunavut for eight seasons. While his fly fishing Roots remain in Southern Ontario, Trevor has become fond of pursuing northern Salmonid species such as lake trout and arctic char. At home in Coastal B.C., he has shied away from chasing flagship species such as steelhead and salmon, choosing instead to pursue resident cutthroat trout, bull trout and Dolly Varden char.

11 & 18 B.C.’s other hatch: The freshwater portion of the Pacific Salmon’s life. The spawning migration of Pacific Salmon plays a vital Role in the health and survival of riparian ecosystems. Resident trout and char are just a few of the many organisms benefiting from the freshwater portion of the Pacific salmon’s lifecycle. Anglers who recognize this phenomenon can be very successful in bringing lots of big trout and char to the net. Trevor will summarize the important biological role that salmon play in freshwater ecosystems. In addition Trevor will review fly patterns and techniques anglers use to catch trout and char in salmon-bearing streams.

Annual Banquet and Silent AuctionOn Saturday evening the IWFFC holds its Annual Awards and Fund Raising Banquet starting at 6:30 p.m. As always, the Banquet features a rod raffle, pot raffles, as well as many great items in the silent auction. Funds raised will benefit conservation. Our guest speaker at the banquet this year will be award winning Fly tyer Lynne Trudeau.

15 & 14 Feather throwing for Lakers. Fly patterns and techniques for lake trout. Despite the fact that lake trout are one of the most widespread game fish species in Canada and can reach weights in excess of 30 lbs., they are often overlooked by fly anglers. Years of guiding in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories has taught me that anglers are overlooking a species worthy of targeting with the “long rod “This seminar will cover life history, fly patterns and techniques for these amazing and diverse char.

Ian Colin James Ian is one of North America’s top fly-fishing guides and fly-tying instructors, combining down-to-earth methods with razor-sharp, Scottish wit. For 29 years, Ian’s “no bull” approach to fly-fishing has helped folks learn how to: cast, find fish and catch the fish they find. Ian was the first guide on the Grand River. He is now the first in Canada to teach an accredited fly-fishing course: at Fanshawe College in London Ont., where in 2010 he was the recipient of the President’s Distinguished Part-Time Teacher Award. Ian’s flies are sold worldwide and several of his original patterns are in the Orvis catalogue. “Ian’s patterns are some of the most innovative, impressive, best-selling flies for freshwater species we at Orvis have had the pleasure to sell, which is remarkable as he is colour-blind and his fingers are the size of sausages,” says Orvis’ Shawn Brillon. Ian’s work is showcased in the prestigious book series “Flytyers of the World,” Volume 3. Visit him at: www.ianjames.info

35 Beginner’s Fly Tying Class Learn to tie your first fish-catching flies with Ian Colin James, and his crack team of highly trained assistants. Considered by many to be one of the top fly-fishing guides and fly-tying instructors in North America, Ian has been teaching fly tying for 29 years, so you know he has learned an instructional trick or two. Well-known for his “no guff” approach to teaching fly tying, and his quick Scottish wit, Ian will have you turning out productive flies for Brown Trout, Smallmouth Bass, Carp, Steelhead and Salmon in no time. As usual Ian and his cohorts “Madi-son Avenue” Jack Bramm, Steve “Epoxy” Hunt, William “The Hatchling” Gerrard and Bruce “The Vise Guy” Rattray, will be running the class without a safety net, a script and more importantly a back-up plan. You will tie 5 patterns: The Bellwood Caddis, The Puke Fy, The Baby Doll, The Dog Nobbler and a Cat’s Whisker. Class is limited to 35 persons (Note: Each year this class fills up early, so book a spot.)

William Gerrard. William Gerrard has been fly fishing for over 25 years. During that time, he’s enjoyed catching warm water and cold water species in Ontario and Quebec, but has also fished further from home including Alberta, New Brunswick, Scotland, Ireland, England and the U.S. and Cuba. William is a recognized fly tying instructor and has taught people of all ages how to master the art of fly tying. In 1999 William was manager of the Fly Fishing Cana-da Youth team at the International Fly Fishing Tournament in Ireland and since 2002 has organized the annual Winter Hatches Fly Tying Symposium. Having developed an interest in knot tying as a youngster through Scouting, William began making his own leaders not long after he started flyfishing. He has a no-nonsense approach to knots and lead-ers; “time spent fussing with leaders is lost fishing time. A few good knots that can be tied quickly will satisfy most fly fishing situations”. William’s workshop should help take the complexity out of fly fishing knots and leaders.

33 & 38 Leaders and Knots. Whether you are a newcomer or you already have some flyfishing experience, figuring out line-to-leader-to-fly connections can be a daunting exercise. In this hands-on workshop you will: Learn essential knots and how to tie them efficiently, understand leader design, and make your own basic leaders. Note – line materi-als are supplied; please bring your own tools, i.e. Nippers and hemostat/forceps.

Lynne Trudeau. Fishing has been part of Lynne’s summer activities for a long time, cod fishing and digging for clams on family vacations on the beaches of New Brunswick. On two fishing trips out west and in the Territories, she car-ried a fly rod along with spinning gear but only caught fish on the spinning gear, then on returning to trout fishing in Quebec had to improve her flyfishing for the thrill that spinning didn’t give her. Lynne joined the Montréal Fly Fishing Club (MMM) in1997 and quickly learned how to properly handle a fly rod and to tie flies and fly tying has become a real passion for her. Lynne has been on the club’s executive board in recent years and several times has been invited to the Quebec-Granby Forum as an elite tyer and participated in various activities and shows, promoting her club’s activities. Lynne has written three articles on the Atlantic salmon for the French Saumons Illimites magazine and has twice won bronze medals in the World Salmon Fly Tying competition. In 2010 her club joined with the Montreal Breast Cancer Society to raise money, with club members tying all types of pink flies and demonstrating fly tying in sports shops and shows. The project was a financial success and it was for this project that Lynne created the “Pink Lady Amherst” Fly. Lynne will be our Forum Banquet guest speaker with an Atlantic Salmon presentation as well as being one of our guest tyers for the Showcase of Fly Tyers.

For 29 years, Ian’s “no bull” approach to fly-fishing has helped folks learn how to: cast, find fish and catch the fish they find. Ian was the first guide on the Grand River. He is now the first in Canada to teach an accredited fly-fishing course: at Fanshawe College in London Ont., where in 2010 he was the recipient of the President’s Distinguished Part-Time Teacher Award. Ian’s flies are sold worldwide and several of his original patterns are in the Orvis catalogue. “Ian’s patterns are some of the most innovative, impressive, best-selling flies for freshwater species we at Orvis have had the pleasure to sell, which is remarkable as he is colour-blind and his fingers are the size of sausages,” says Orvis’ Shawn Brillon. Ian’s work is showcased in the prestigious book series “Flytyers of the World,” Volume 3. Visit him at: www.ianjames.info

35 Beginner’s Fly Tying Class Learn to tie your first fish-catching flies with Ian Colin James, and his crack team of highly trained assistants. Considered by many to be one of the top fly-fishing guides and fly-tying instructors in North America, Ian has been teaching fly tying for 29 years, so you know he has learned an instructional trick or two. Well-known for his “no guff” approach to teaching fly tying, and his quick Scottish wit, Ian will have you turning out productive flies for Brown Trout, Smallmouth Bass, Carp, Steelhead and Salmon in no time. As usual Ian and his cohorts “Madi-son Avenue” Jack Bramm, Steve “Epoxy” Hunt, William “The Hatchling” Gerrard and Bruce “The Vise Guy” Rattray, will be running the class without a safety net, a script and more importantly a back-up plan. You will tie 5 patterns: The Bellwood Caddis, The Puke Fy, The Baby Doll, The Dog Nobbler and a Cat’s Whisker. Class is limited to 35 persons (Note: Each year this class fills up early, so book a spot.)

William Gerrard. William Gerrard has been fly fishing for over 25 years. During that time, he’s enjoyed catching warm water and cold water species in Ontario and Quebec, but has also fished further from home including Alberta, New Brunswick, Scotland, Ireland, England and the U.S. and Cuba. William is a recognized fly tying instructor and has taught people of all ages how to master the art of fly tying. In 1999 William was manager of the Fly Fishing Cana-da Youth team at the International Fly Fishing Tournament in Ireland and since 2002 has organized the annual Winter Hatches Fly Tying Symposium. Having developed an interest in knot tying as a youngster through Scouting, William began making his own leaders not long after he started flyfishing. He has a no-nonsense approach to knots and lead-ers; “time spent fussing with leaders is lost fishing time. A few good knots that can be tied quickly will satisfy most fly fishing situations”. William’s workshop should help take the complexity out of fly fishing knots and leaders.

33 & 38 Leaders and Knots. Whether you are a newcomer or you already have some flyfishing experience, figuring out line-to-leader-to-fly connections can be a daunting exercise. In this hands-on workshop you will: Learn essential knots and how to tie them efficiently, understand leader design, and make your own basic leaders. Note – line materi-als are supplied; please bring your own tools, i.e. Nippers and hemostat/forceps.

Lynne Trudeau. Fishing has been part of Lynne’s summer activities for a long time, cod fishing and digging for clams on family vacations on the beaches of New Brunswick. On two fishing trips out west and in the Territories, she car-ried a fly rod along with spinning gear but only caught fish on the spinning gear, then on returning to trout fishing in Quebec had to improve her flyfishing for the thrill that spinning didn’t give her. Lynne joined the Montréal Fly Fishing Club (MMM) in1997 and quickly learned how to properly handle a fly rod and to tie flies and fly tying has become a real passion for her. Lynne has been on the club’s executive board in recent years and several times has been invited to the Quebec-Granby Forum as an elite tyer and participated in various activities and shows, promoting her club’s activities. Lynne has written three articles on the Atlantic salmon for the French Saumons Illimites magazine and has twice won bronze medals in the World Salmon Fly Tying competition. In 2010 her club joined with the Montreal Breast Cancer Society to raise money, with club members tying all types of pink flies and demonstrating fly tying in sports shops and shows. The project was a financial success and it was for this project that Lynne created the “Pink Lady Amherst” Fly. Lynne will be our Forum Banquet guest speaker with an Atlantic Salmon presentation as well as being one of our guest tyers for the Showcase of Fly Tyers.

Conservation ActivitiesDespite the pressures of ongoing population growth, urban development, and climate change, there are numerous wild trout streams within 75 km of the GTA. That’s significant when you consider that the GTA is the fifth largest urban center in North America. However, without the continuing conservation efforts of government and non-gov-ernment organizations, including IWFFC, to offset the effects of urbanization, we risk losing the aquatic resources. While the principal function of the Forum is to teach Fly Fishing, its secondary purpose is to raise awareness of, and generate funds for conservation. IWFFC has a 30-year history of conservation activity.

The club was Involved in both multi year and new projects in 2010. We worked with Bill Christmas from the Ted Knott chapter of T.U. with Beaver Baffles and sediment traps on a tributary of the Grand River. We also worked with the Greg Clark chapter of T.U. on the C 3. project in Orangeville for the upper Credit. In partnership with the Greg Clark chapter of T.U. for the third consecutive year, 520 shrubs and trees were planted along mill Creek to help improve the quality of surface Water. The club continued its support and partnership with CVC for the Upper Credit Watershed with planting, sediment traps etc. In 2010 the IWFFC secured over $ 3,600 in funding. The club has continued its support of the NVCA on the upper Notttawasaga with successful results. The IWFFC was represented at 28 events and fairs of various kinds in 2010. We talked about conservation while showing over 1100 people, mostly kids, how to tie a woolly worm. Club rods were used to give casting lessons at eight of these events.

We need your help to maintain and improve our aquatic resources. Please visit the exhibit booths of Credit Valley Conservation Authority, Trout Unlimited, IWFFC, and others to learn more about conservation activities in your area. Consider volunteering and making a donation at one of the booths or on the registration form at the back of this brochure.

3 & 6 So You want to go to the Yukon. Going on the trip of a Lifetime is an exciting proposition but where do you go, what do you need to take and how do you get there? Having just come back from such a trip,let me introduce you to fly fishing the Yukon, what you need to take and your options for getting to the fish there. This seminar will help you plan your trip and make sure you have precisely what you need to tackle the giants of the Yukon.

7 & 2 Practical knots for the fly angler. The single most important Connection between you and your fish is a knot (or two or three) In this Seminar, I will introduce the angler to a set of knots for every occasion. This will be a hands-on program with every audience member tying along. No Bimini Twist or Ligature Knots.

Trevor Nowak. Trevor Nowak is a fisheries biologist living in Campbell River B.C. with his wife and fishing partner, Erin. Trevor was born and raised in Southern Ontario, but moved out West when he was 18 to study natural resource conservation at the University of B.C. When he was 8 years old, he learned to fly fish for Brookies and Browns in the small tributaries of Georgian Bay near his parent’s farm in Grey County. His father Wally, played a crucial role in developing Trevor’s interest in the sport by teaching him that skipping class or failing to complete homework assign-ments was fine, so long as they both got to go fishing. Trevor has guided anglers in B.C.’s central interior and the Canadian Arctic. He has been manager and head guide at Plummer’s Tree River Lodge in Nunavut for eight seasons. While his fly fishing Roots remain in Southern Ontario, Trevor has become fond of pursuing northern Salmonid species such as lake trout and arctic char. At home in Coastal B.C., he has shied away from chasing flagship species such as steelhead and salmon, choosing instead to pursue resident cutthroat trout, bull trout and Dolly Varden char.

11 & 18 B.C.’s other hatch: The freshwater portion of the Pacific Salmon’s life. The spawning migration of Pacific Salmon plays a vital Role in the health and survival of riparian ecosystems. Resident trout and char are just a few of the many organisms benefiting from the freshwater portion of the Pacific salmon’s lifecycle. Anglers who recognize this phenomenon can be very successful in bringing lots of big trout and char to the net. Trevor will summarize the important biological role that salmon play in freshwater ecosystems. In addition Trevor will review fly patterns and techniques anglers use to catch trout and char in salmon-bearing streams.

Annual Banquet and Silent AuctionOn Saturday evening the IWFFC holds its Annual Awards and Fund Raising Banquet starting at 6:30 p.m. As always, the Banquet features a rod raffle, pot raffles, as well as many great items in the silent auction. Funds raised will benefit conservation. Our guest speaker at the banquet this year will be award winning Fly tyer Lynne Trudeau.

15 & 14 Feather throwing for Lakers. Fly patterns and techniques for lake trout. Despite the fact that lake trout are one of the most widespread game fish species in Canada and can reach weights in excess of 30 lbs., they are often overlooked by fly anglers. Years of guiding in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories has taught me that anglers are overlooking a species worthy of targeting with the “long rod “This seminar will cover life history, fly patterns and techniques for these amazing and diverse char.

36 Natural tendencies of rivers. Rivers flow and scroll across our landscapes in various forms and patterns. Each stream form creates distinct and unique opportunities for fish. Understanding these natural tendencies of rivers can help the knowledgeable angler read the water and determine what habitat can be expected and where fish will likely be found.

Mike Verhoef. Mike has been chasing anything that swims for three decades and is also now entering his eighth season of guiding in S.W. Ontario. Having a number of T.V. appearances and magazine articles to his credit, there is a good chance you will be familiar with Mike’s passion and knowledge of the sport.
