I hope you all made it through today’s weather without too much damage
and trouble.

The November HFF meeting will be Tuesday the19th at the Colorado Steakhouse.
Dinner at 6:00, program at 7:00. I hope to see you all there.

Just a snap shot reminder, our own Kevin Montague will be filling us
in on the latest in digital photography and cameras. He will also
provide tips of the great outdoor photography. As I have mentioned
before, you will need these skills for that great “grip and grin” shot
of the 14 pound Monroe Wiper or 6 pound Clear Creek Smallie. BTW, Kevin
took the pics of Mike Donovan’s flies featured below.

That is right, Mike Donovan is going to tie some classic minnow
patterns including the Mickey Finn and the ever popular and effective
Black Nose Dace. Sometimes we tend to seek new, fancy patterns at the
expense of the good old flies that do nothing more that catch fish. Is
that progress?

We will be holding elections for the new officers at this meeting. They
will assume power(?) at the Christmas party meeting. Nominees from the
floor are welcome!! There is particular interest in a new Vice
President/Program Chairman.

The Christmas Party… details will be confirmed at the November 19th meeting.
The raffle prize for the Christmas Party will be a TFO BVK 9ft, 6wt fly
rod w/hard case and an Orivs Clearwater Large Arbor Reel.

The HFF meeting will be November 19th at the Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner at
6:00 and the meeting at 7:00. Hope to see you all there.

The November 19th meeting of the HFFG will be picture perfect! I know
this to be a fact because our own Kevin Montague will present a program
on new digital cameras and tips on great outdoor photography. He will
provide good tips for that grip and grin pic if any of us ever catch a
fish worthy of recording for history.

And, if that is not enough, Mike Donovan will be tying some classic
streamer flies. These will include a Black Nose Dace and Mickey Finn.
Who knows what else he has in mind. I am sure these flies will help you
catch that fish of a lifetime and employ the photography skills we
learn from Kevin.

The Christmas party is December 12. The raffle prize this year is a TFO
BVK 6wt rod with hard case and Orvis Clearwater reel. I know several of
us are using the BVK rod and Orvis large arbor reel and find it to be
good stuff! I know we could all use another rod and reel, come to the
party, buy tickets, wish yourself luck and have fun.

There is still time for nominations for executive officers. We are
especially interested in nominations for Vice President/Program Chair.
Nominations from the floor at the meeting are in order and welcome.
