Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

It’s hard to believe that 2016 has come and almost gone. The last Hoosier Fly Fishers Meeting for 2016 was a Celebration of Christmas, good friends, great food, and a “wonderful surprise prize”. Several HFF Members and family gathered at Bobby’s Colorado Steakhouse for Brunch on December 11th and we all enjoyed the great food served up by the staff. The highlight of the event was the members drawing for a “wonderful surprise raffle prize”. This year Jeanne Shaw had the winning ticket and received a new TFO Bob Clouser 6wt Fly Rod along with a slightly used wiper fly. I see more big fish in 2017 for Jeanne.

The next HFF Meeting will be on January 17th and another Fly Challenge is on the agenda. See the next post by TimM for more details. There has been been lots of interest in these new events and we expect several to participate. Anyone interested in Fly Tying or Fly Fishing is welcome to attend the meetings. We always welcome new faces to the group. Now would be a good time to join the club, annual dues are due if you haven’t paid yet.

Hoosier Fly Fishers wishes everyone a safe and Happy Holidays and  special good wishes go out to those that were unable to attend the Christmas party. 

FISH REPORT:  It’s cold and slow but a few fish were caught the first half of December by a couple of crazy guys. It’s 12 degrees here now, go tie some flies.

HFF Members Christmas Party

Hope you are all having a good day. I am watching the Green Bay game and some ugly white stuff is falling out of the sky. The older I get, the less I think winter is any kind of a Wonderland.

On a happy note, the Annual HFF Christmas Party is only a week away.

December 11th at 11:00AM at the Colorado Steakhouse in Bloomington. As is always the case, there will be an outstanding raffle prize for members. It’ll be a wonderful surprise raffle prize. So bring a few extra bucks and hope you can take home yet another treasure. The club will provide the meal and non-alcoholic beverages for the members and a guest. If you want a seasonally appropriate adult beverage, that is on you.

Looking forward to seeing you all for a good time and some tales of successful fishing adventures from this past year. See you on December 11th at 11:00 at the Colorado Steakhouse.

Stay warm and dry,

TimM

 

FISH REPORT:  It is rumored that a select few anglers are still catching a variety of fish on flies. A few BIG fish have been reported too. Find a warm spot and go fish before the colder temperatures are upon us, you might be surprised. The fish in Lake Monroe don’t know it’s cold yet. Go Fish!
