Leech Lake - Rescheduled to July 28, 2012
Leech Lake requires a Recreation Pass (Forest Service) to park; the Discover and the Fish & Wildlife access pass are NOT valid up there for "parking" permits - although you must have the Fish & Wildlife pass on your mirror. I recommend paying the day use fee, unless you are going many times this year, instead of trying to find a place to and buying the Rec. Pass.
I rescheduled due to communications that the lake was inaccessible, however, thanks to Don and his friend giving Don a report on Dog Lake nearby to Leech, the area is quite clear of any snow and quite accessible. Apparently I have been had by the District Ranger up there. Jerks. They just don't want to open the area when the people want it opened apparently. I understand the cutting of funds and lack of people to open the Leech Lake campground, but don't tell me it isn't accessible - when it IS!
Trip Destination — July 28, 2012. Leech Lake, White Pass Summit, WA. We will meet at Graham Safeway parking lot at 6 am to carpool if we can. Bring food and fluids for the day,
we can go to dinner in Packwood afterwards if you'd like.
You will need a boat, i.e. float tube, pontoon boat, raft, rowboat — NO MOTORS are allowed on the lake. Fly Fishing Only. See the current reg.s for all the info.
Fly Patterns - All flavors, sizes, and colors of Wooley Buggers. Damsel fly nymph and ant patterns. Chironomid patterns - small.
Floating lines, 2wt - 6 wt, with longer, 10 - 12 ft, overall leaders/tippet lengths will do.

Carey Special
Here is the materials list for the Carey Special, yet another one of the Munn Lake recommended flies.
http://www.west-fly-fishing.com/fly-pattern-recipe/wet/careyspecial.shtml
I think the picture shows enough to be able to tie it without instructions.
This is one of the old staples of flies, one you can use anywhere, and should be in your fly box. So simple.
