The Hook Fly Shop/ Cascade Guides &
Outfitters is proud to announce that we are moving our shop into bigger space within the Sunriver Village. We are quite excited about relocating to "retail row" within the newly renovated Village. We are located about 100 yards from our old location and are now between Goody's Ice Cream shop and the grocery store.
With our new enlarged space we hope to provide our guest with a broader array of products, better service, and improve our guiding experience. The new shop has a rear area set aside for our guide trips so clients can assemble their equipment, meet their guide, and prepare for their trip undisturbed by shop activities.
With our expanded upstairs space we can again offer a complete selection of fly tying supplies, and materials along with resumming our popular winter fly tying classes. Our ground floor retail area allows us to increase the selection of fishing equipment, accessories, clothing, flies, and other outstanding product lines.
Please stop by and take a look at our new digs and tell us what you think. Look for the new Cascade Guides & Outfitters/ Hook Fly Shop sign along retail row. We will be completely moved in by opening day of lake fishing season April 23,2011.
Our mailing address will remain the same: P.O. Box 3676 Sunriver Oregon; 97707, but our location address within the Village will change to: Building 23, Sunriver Mall. Telephone numbers, email, and fax all stay the same: PH 1-888-230- HOOK, (541) 593-2358, Fax (541) 593-2380; email cascadeguides@gmail.com.
To thank all our loyal Cascade Guides and Hook Fly Shop clients we are pleased to offer a special gift to those that stop by and visit our new shop this season. Because of your continued support over the years we are able to expand our various lines of clothing, equipment and inventory. Just mention you saw the free gift offer and receive a 6 compartment fly box. This is a sturdy polyproprolene 6 compartment box with movable dividers and handy eyelet. Easily carry a days worth of flies for your next outing on the Fall or Crooked river.
In addition to the free fly box we are also offering a "NEW STORE" special promotion on all merchandise, from flies, rods & reels, equipment, clothing, fly tying, and all the rest of our exciting new inventory. For each dollar you spend between April 23, 2011 and December 31, 2011, you will receive a 10% store credit toward your next purchase, just mention you saw our "NEW STORE" promotion and the rest is easy. Store credits are good until December 31, 2011, and multiple credit accumulation is allowed, so shop often save 'em up and get yourself a special something for the Holidays.
The fall and winter seasons followed our regular routine. Did the Sacramento Delta for Strippers in October and hit the Trinity River hard in January and February for Steelhead. Both waters proved productive and got plenty of exercise on the 7 and 8 weight rods. We hope many of you that haven't joined us on these exciting fisheries will sign up for next year. At the request of many of our guest we are offering a 2-day Steelhead fishing class next fall. Please see the article below on details.
We look forward to a great start to the 2011 season as the snow pack is above normal and should provide great fishing right from the start. We'll start the Bass fishing as soon as access is available to Davis lake, and hope to begin Bull Trout fishing on Lake Billy Chinook in April. As soon as access is available we'll be doing guided trips to the most productive of the Cascade lakes for trout.
Our new on line booking system worked extremely well last season providing our clients instant reservations 24/7 allowing for last minute decisions. We're hoping more of you find this service easy and convienent this year. We thank you for choosing Cascade Guides and using the Book It Now button on our web site. Always pleased to get your comments as we strive to improve our facilities and provide the equipment and services you desire.
Many of our clients have requested to learn more about steelhead fishing. In order to provide more instruction that can be accomplished during a guided trip, Cascade Guides & Outfitters will be offering a 2 day steelhead fly fishing clinic on the Trinity River in 2011. The 2 day schedule will include one day of classroom and on the water instruction including reading water, casting techniques, fly selection, etomology, equipment selection, and water safety. We will discuss roll casting, high stick nymphing, swinging, Spey and switch rod techniques along with the other subjects.
The second day will be a guided float trip on the Trinity River applying the information gained during the first days instruction. Accomodations will be at the Indian Creek Lodge in Douglas City, 45 minutes west of Redding on hy 299. All lodging, guiding, instruction and equipment is included in the clinic. Transportation and meals are not included. Please call the shop for any additional details you need and for pricing.
This fly has been around since 1978. Designed by Al Troth devised for the caddis hatches in Montana. Troth designed the fly to imitate an adult caddis. You can vary the hook size, body color, hackle, and wing to imitate just about any caddis species.

THREAD: 6-0 OR 3-0 Depending on hook size
RIB: Fine gold wire
BODY: Fine fur color of choice
WING:Eld or deer hair
HACKLE: Brown neck feather

2. Start thread and tie back to 1/4 shank length, tie in gold wire and continue to hook bend
3. Dub body material forward to form the body
4. Tie in hackle feather, shiny convex facing out
5. Make 2-3 wraps of hackle at front then palmer to rear of body
6. Tie off hackle with 2-3 wraps of gold wire. Trim excess hackle.
7. Wrap wire forward, taking care to wrap between hackle bards. Tie off.
8. Stack hair and lay on top of fly to form wings slightly longer than hook shank
9. Make 2 firm thread wraps before releasing the hair.
10. Wrap hair as necessary to gather hair to form a wing.

One of the most important pieces of equipment for eye protection and visual aiding the fishing experience. Yet the they are the one accessory we don't think about, nor discuss often. Here's some great information I just received from Orvis Guide Newsletter answering several question you might have.
Optics.
Glass lenses have superior optics to even the best plastic lenses. There is not a huge difference, but if your fishing demands the utmost in clarity (like a saltwater guide spotting birds far away on the horizon, or a spring-creek angler spotting trout at 60 feet away), glass lenses will offer you a slight edge. The tolerances in making Orvis Tri-Spectrum glass lenses are tighter in regard to refractive power and prismatic imbalance, and because glass is a less-flexible material it will hold these optical powers longer than plastic under extreme conditions. (Note that Orvis Zeiss Polycarbonate lenses are the very finest non-glass lenses you can find, and many people will not be able to tell the difference between glass lenses and Orvis polycarbonate lenses.)
Scratch resistance.
Although polycarbonate lenses have superior coatings, which provide as much scratch resistance as any non-glass lens made, glass will still withstand abuse that would scratch a pair of plastic lenses. If you are the type who sometimes forgets to put your glasses in their case, or if you tend to fish in areas with a lot of blowing sand and dust, glass lenses will increase the life of your sunglasses.
Weight.
Although Orvis Tri-Spectrum glass lenses are only 2mm thick (some of the thinnest available), glass lenses are 30% heavier than polycarbonate lenses. If your nose or ears get tired and sore after a day of fishing with sunglasses, you should consider polycarbonate lenses.
Prescription.
Polycarbonate lenses are much more tolerant of extreme prescriptions because, in some prescriptions, glass lenses become intolerably heavy.
Price.
Orvis Zeiss Polycarbonate sunglasses are about 45% less expensive than glass lenses in the same frame.
How to pick the right lens color.
Picking the right lens color for the fishing you do is an intimidating process for many anglers. All the colors in Orvis sunglasses have been optimized and tested specifically for removing glare from the water's surface, and for seeing objects below the water. These colors are not developed for snowboarding, golf, or biking, although they are superb for everyday wear and driving.
Amber
When in doubt, choose amber. Amber offers the best combination of visible light transmission and contrast enhancement for a wide variety of conditions from saltwater flats fishing to shaded trout streams. It sharpens the edges of visible objects by selectively tuning the visible spectrum with very little loss of resolution.
Rose
Rose offers some advantages under very bright conditions, such as flats fishing on sunny days and fishing wide open rivers in bright sunlight. Rose blocks slightly more visible light than amber, so it allows your eyes to stay rested after a long day on the water. But even more importantly, rose blocks more infrared (heat) rays, so it keeps your delicate corneas from drying up after a long day in the hot sun. It is especially advantageous for people with dry eyes or contact lens wearers as it helps prevent eyes from drying out. The contrast enhancement of rose is as good as amber, and some anglers wear the rose color under all conditions.
Yellow
Yellow lenses are best for early mornings, cloudy days, and evenings. Glare at these times can be overwhelming, but standard rose and amber tints can block too much visible light, resulting in a slight decrease in resolution. Yellow polarized lenses allow more visible light transmission and high-contrast enhancement while still eliminating most glare.
What about gray polarized lenses?
Our scientific testing of lens tints shows that gray lenses offer no advantage other than visible light blocking at all parts of the spectrum, and removing glare. They do not add any contrast enhancement, which is so important in spotting fish, rocks, ledges, and logs below the water's surface.
What about mirror lenses?
Mirror lenses offer absolutely no increase in visual acuity. They merely add cost and are 100% cosmetic.
Hope this information helps you make the right decision next time you need a new pair of sun glasses. We carry Orvis, Cosat del Mar, and Fisherman Eyeware sunglasses in the shop. Lots of selection in optice, price, frame, and colors.
