Thur«.. Feb 21, 1974 (Sec. 1) SANDY (Ore.) POST - 7 increase of nearly three packs from 1972 and is the most cigarettes smoked per adult since the average was almost 210 packs of 20 cigarettes for each person in 1968 S M O K IN G IN C R E A S E S Consumption of cigarettes was on the rise in the U S. in 1973, equal to about 205 packs for each adult American 18 years and older This is an By G e o rg e M a c A le v y G A M E H A C K L E W E T F L IE S Through the years, East and West; and throughout the pages of angling history, the Game Hackle Wet Fly has been a most productive class of flies. These flies are of ancient origin and sim ple design. Some consist of a hackle only ; some a hackle and a body, and some of them a hackle, tail and body None of them have wings Despite their sim plicity, they are not the easiest to tie for two reasons. They are mostly used in small sizes and the very character of a gamebird hackle makes it d ifficult to apply to a hook “ What is this answer to a fis h e rm a n ’ s p ra y e r? " This may well be the first question you ask. “ I don't see these things advertised in stores.” No, you don’t. They do not fit into any Madison Avenue merchandising approach Most of them are insignificant in appearance, and any attempt to glamourize the package would only emphasize this. They appeal to trout and ex perienced fly-men only. The hackle feathers on any game bird are the neck and cape feathers close behind the bird’s head. They are shaped not at all like the conventional cock hackle. Instead they are very short and often broad and rounded. The fly consists of a whisk of this hackle for a tail, a body of silk, quill or spun fur, and the game hackle. Because of the extreme shortness of these feathers, it may take as many as three of them to create a full hackle. My personal preference is a leaning to the sparse side, so 1 rarely use more than two. A ll flie s m ust have an identification. The names of these flies are such as to delineate their makeup In any of the older European and English treatises on flies or trout fishing, you w ill find references to flies such as “ Partridge and Red,” “ P a r tridge and Yellow ," etc. These are tied with hackles of the French Partridge. They may be either in brown or grey shades w ith d a rke r brown penciling The color in the name is the body color Most of the older books referred to the body as silk. These partridge hackled flies go back into an tiquity. Equally as old are the grouse hackled flies of England and Scotland. “ Grouse and Green” and “ Grouse and Black” are old standbys throughout the British Isles. In Ireland, jay hackles (the Irish Jay is a true blue) are prevalent Some other birds whose plumage figures in the game hackle category are la n d ra il, moorhen, and heron One bird whose feathers are important here istheGuineafowl. This is a dom esticated b ird derived from a gamebird. In the United States, these game hackles are extremely useful We have taken as our own the partridge and grouse patterns, but even more so the guinea patterns In this country, we also hackle flies with the rump feathers of the ringneck pheasant. In the Western United States, there are many Alpine lakes that were originally devoid of fish. A large number of these now c a rry populations of the Eastern Brook Trout. This c h a rr has made a success of life in these short season lakes. The Guinea hackle series are extremely valuable flies in these lakes. Yellow and orange are the favored body colors for these trout A condor quill body with a guinea hackle is ' a good mosquito im itation in these same lakes when the snow mosquitoes of June and July are emerging from the late snowbanks around the margins of these high lakes. The most successful game hackle pattern of all in the N orthw est and B ritis h Colum bia is the “ Carey Special ’’ This fly is more “ game” than the rest. Tail, body, and hackle are all made up from the rump feathers of a m ature cock ringneck pheasant. These are the m e ta llic blue-bronze-green feathers of which there is quite a sizable patch on the birds back at the root of the tail. To build this fly, apply a whisk of the feather for a tail, wind three feathers flat around the shank of the hood to make a rather shaggy body, and finish off with three more feathers wound as a hackle Size 6 and 8 are the usual hooks used for this fly, although s m a lle r ones are occasionally useful. B ritis h C olum bia Kam loops are suckers for this one, as are stream and lake rainbows in Oregon and Washington If I were to be restricted to one fly pattern for the rest of my fly fishing life, the Carey Special would be the one. Rainbows, brooks, and cut throats a ll go for it. In the m ountain lakes tow ards evening, regardless of what the fish are naturally feeding on, they find the Carey Special irresistable. It is good all day long in brook trout lakes It has few peers in deep water as a trolled fly Tie it sparse for casting in the shallows. Tie it full and bushy on heavy iron for trolling or sishing deep. Tie it full palmer for fast water But use it in any water carrying trout and see for yourself In using these flies over many years, I have greatly cut down on the num ber of variations to carry. A good s ta rtin g lis t would include Partridge and Red, Partridge and Blue, Guinea and Condor, Guinea and Yellow, and Guinea and Orange In size 16; Grouse and Green, Grouse and Black, and Guinea and Tan in size 14; Carey Special tied full in size 6; Carey Special tied palmer in size 8, and Carey Special tied sparse in sizes 8 and 10.

Mancini discussed a few of the proposed zoning districts in Clackamas County such as the Exclusive Farm Use D istrict (E F U ), and the General Timber D istrict (GTD), as well as the overall comprehensive plan to zone the whole county. Davis discussed the functions of the Planning Department in an effort to fam iliarize the appraisers with each function in planning as well as the people who work w ith each function. “ Clackam as County was expected to be zoned by April, 1974, but the plans are s till in the rough draft stage,” says Davis.
