June 2024 HFF Meeting

I do hope we have all managed to squeeze in a bit of fishing these daze. The next meeting of the Hoosier Fly Fishers will again be at the Bloomington American Legion Post # 18. Dinner will be at 6:00 and the program will be a 7:00. We will start with a round table for you all to brag about all the fish you have been catching.

The program this month will be a presentation by Marty James. Marty will  be discussing all things about fly fishing for carp. He will be discussing the necessary rods and flies for both stream and lake fishing.  Marty is also a certified fly casting instructor. He may have suggestions on how to get the flies to the place they can do their job. There may well be a word or two about Muskies on a fly rod. Bring questions, this is going to be fun.

There will also be a tying demo. Fly to be tied is to be determined. I am open to suggestions as always. For now I am considering flies for small streams.
 
Again, the HFF will be at the Legion with Dinner at 6:00 and the Program at 7:00. 
 
See you all there,

HFF Annual Picnic May 11, 2024

A reminder that the Annual HFF Picnic will be May 11. Once again, the Clarke’s have generously 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. BYO adult beverages.  Please let Barry know if you are planning on attending so he can have enough food, RSVP barry.clarke@comcast.net.
As 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 , fish and fellowship.   Who could ask for more…
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone,
