HFF Meeting Reminder

The January meeting of the HFF will be Tuesday,1/20/15 at he Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner at 6:00 and the program will begin at 7:00.

This month’s program features Derrick Filkins of Flymasters
(http://www.flymasters.com) in Indy. He will be talking with us about warmwater fly fishing.

We will be continuing our demos of “classic” fly patterns. Mike Donavon will demo tying the Lead Wing Coachman. As usual, we ask for your suggestions for the demos, someone in the club knows how to tie the pattern.

Check out the Limp Cobra January 13 post (http://thelimpcobra.com/). There is a neat little article, “Fly Casting- How to loose your flies in trees.”

Your 2014 Indiana State Fishing License will expire the end of March, after that you will need a 2015 Fishing License and Trout Stamp. You can purchase them both online here.

State Park Passes and Boat Launch Permits are due the first of the
year. You can purchase them at any State Park Office or online at their store as well as other IDNR stuff.

HFF January Meeting

Don’t forget to write 2015 on your checks, that’s right we are in a new
year. However, it may be a bit cold to fish right now.  The January
meeting of the HFF will be 1/20/15 at he Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner at 6:00 and the program will begin at 7:00.

This month’s program will feature Derrick Filkins of Flymasters
(http://www.flymasters.com) in Indy.  He will talk with us about
warmwater fly fishing.  Many of us have met Derrick up there at
Flymasters.  He teaches their rod building class and also does some
guiding.  Derrick has spoken to us in the past, back in the days at the
Elks, about “What Fish See” (by Colin Kageyama).   If you are heading up to Indy for the Indiana Fly Fishing Expo, stop by Flymasters for
their Cabin Fever Days January 10&11th.

Mike Donavon will demo tying the Lead Wing Coachman. I am anxious to see how Mike sets the wings on this historic wet fly.

Leadwing Coachman

“The Leadwing Coachman finds it’s origins in the early 1820’s as an
offering from a carriage driver, Tom Bosworth, to his English Lord for
fishing.  The original Coachman fly was a wet pattern of a peacock herl body, white duck quill wing, and brown throat hackle.”

Hope to see you all there on the 20th. Looking forward to hearing Derrick talk about warm water fly fishing and to watch Mike tie the Leadwing Coachman.

Stay warm,
