November 2024 HFF Meeting

The Next meeting of the Hoosier Fly Fishers will be November 19th.
We will meet at the American Legion again with dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00. Just a little thought…I wish I could catch Wipers the way Indiana University is winning football games!

Sanden O’Connell will be giving the presentation covering brown trout stockings. He is the district 4 assistant fisheries biologist. Nathan Klein, the lead fisheries biologist for district 4, may also be in attendance depending on his schedule.

The program will also include demos of flies using seasonally appropriate feathers, viz. turkey feathers… We are hoping to see a Muddler fly and a Nymph fly.

The Hoosier Fly Fishers annual Christmas party will be December 15th at 11:00 and once again will be at the Red Lobster Restaurant In Bloomington this year.The raffle this year will include a Larry Barber fly rod with a reel and line.This year each member and their significant other will receive a $25 certificate for the meal. As always, this does not include adult beverages. Again it is very important that you let Barbara Hatton know how many of you are planning to attend. We need a good head count so please let Barb know at the meeting or drop her a note.

Looking forward to seeing everyone next Tuesday at the HFF meeting. Again we will be at the American Legion Post #18 here in Bloomington with dinner at 6:00 and the program  at 7:00.

See you there,

Tim

October 2024 HFF Meeting

The next meeting of the HFF will be Tuesday October15th. Again, we will meet at the American Legion on 3rd street. Dinner at 6:00 and program at 7:00 I hope you all have had a chance to do some fishing during the nice weather we have had lately. 
 
Speaking of the weather…the program this month will be a discussion on Seasonally  Appropriate Flies.  The discussion will be lead by Mike Donovan. Mike will be demonstrating a few patterns and will include some relevant videos. 
 
This program was scheduled for September, but we had the too good to be passed up chance to talk with guests about trout stocking and wiper fishing. 
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone. Dinner at 6:00 and program at 7:00.
 
Go fishing,  Tim
