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.

County
zoning plan
discussed
Dominic Mancini, the In
te rim
D ire c to r
of
the
Clackamas County Planning
Department, assisted by Bruce
Davis, also of the Planning
Department, were the guest
speakers at the b re a kfa st
m eeting of the Clackam as
County Chapter of the Society
of C e rtifie d A p pra ise rs of
Oregon, last week.
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.
T H E S E M E N are employing that age old method of
overcoming the foggy, dreary, wet F eb ru ary blues:
fishing. The winding Sandy R iver offers local residents
this antitode each day every day of the year.
