I hope everyone survived the 4th of July with all their fingers. Our July meeting will be on the 15th and again we will meet at the American Legion Post #18 here in Bloomington. Dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00
The program this month will concern water safety with Barry Clarke presenting. I quote Barry…”I do have about 70 years on the water and have broken pretty much all the rules at least once. So, I have some examples of what can go wrong to share.” We look forward to others sharing information about their “on the water” safety tips.
Paul Brown will be doing the tying demo. He will tie the Micro Bugger. This pattern caught a lot of Bluegills in Griffy Lake this summer.
Next month Kyle Swafford will present a program on fall fishing for Smallmouth bass.
Look forward to seeing everyone on the 15th. HFF meetings are open to the public. If you are interested in fly fishing or fly tying you are welcome to join us.
Looks like another round of April showers…looks like we will have plenty of water for both May flowers and for fishing. I hope you have had a chance to use all the great fishing stuff you bought at the auction.
Annual HFF PicnicA reminder that the annual HFF picnic will be May 10. Once again, the Clarke’s have offered their home on Lake Lemon as a site for our festivities. We will get started around 11:00 and eat at noonish. The club will provide burgers and hotdogs, buns, chips and soft drinks. We will all bring a side dish to round out the feast. The club will provide soft drinks, BYO adult beverages. Please let Barry know if you are attending so he can have enough food. RSVP barry.clarke@comcast.net. The Clark’s live at the end of Shoreline Gardens just off E Southshore Dr.
Fly Fishing Lake LemonAs you well know there are fish in Lake Lemon so bring a rod and a couple of flies and catch a few Bluegills to brag about. A day of food, fun , fellowship and fish. Who could ask for more…
