The February meeting of the Hoosier Fly Fishers will on the 15th. As always we will me at the American Legion Post # 18 at 1800 W. 3rd. ST. Bloomington.
Dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00. If you haven’t used up all your February fun on Valentine’s Day, please join us for some fishy fun. As usual we will start the meeting with round table discussion, some club news, and ideas for future programs. There will be another chance to pick up some terrific tying materials from the Dick Powell collection. Sad to announce that it seems that all the Fly Tying Shows for the year have been cancelled. There will be some news about the Rod Building and Fly Tying Classes.
The program this month will be the rescheduled Larry Barber’s presentation on “What Fish Eat”or at least what they eat when it comes to nymphs. Charlie Shaw has put together a video presentation of the little fellows swimming.
We will be meeting in the “bingo” room using the large TV screen for the videos. This promises to be a very informative program. Larry has also tied examples of these flies representing the various nymphs.
It looks like we are in for some reasonably OK weather for the next 10 daze or so, so there should be no problem driving. I personally have no problem leaving all the snow for the Winter Olympics. Looking forward to seeing you all on February 15th at the Legion. Dinner at 6:00, program at 7:00.
The HFF will meet this coming Tuesday, January 18th at 6:00 PM. However, given the recent notable increase in the number of cases of the various strains of the Covid virus, we have decided that attendance will be at the members own discretion within their comfort range. In light of this change, we have determined that it would be best to reschedule Larry Barber’s much anticipated presentation on what nymphs fish eat and the best water to find these bugs. We really look forward to this program and thank Larry for his work on this presentation. We will reschedule this event for a later date.
As usual the meeting will start with a roundtable discussion. Part of this discussion will be on establishing a mission statement and a vision statement for the Hoosier Fly Fishers. The meeting will also include:
Mike Donovan will discuss plans for the Fly-Tying class.
There will be a list of the various upcoming fly-fishing shows.
There will be additional items from Dick Powel’s supplies of tying materials for sale. This will include hooks, feathers and some equipment. This sale may well take the form of a mini auction.
There will be a traditional raffle.
We will reschedule Larry’s presentation and other anticipated major programs for later dates that are more comfortable for the majority of the members. Again, we will meet on January 18th at the American Legion Post in Bloomington, dinner at 6:00 PM and activities at 7:00 PM.
