February Meeting

We’re having pretty good fishing weather, or maybe not. Rumor has it that spring will get here someday. My only concern is that I recognize fishable weather when is gets here, it has been awhile. I am thinking it is time to pick the damn groundhog who has the most favorable prediction and maybe one who bites a mayor to boot.  In the meantime, let’s focus on the February meeting of the HFF.

The February meeting of the HFF will be on the 17th at the Colorado Steakhouse. As usual, dinner will be at 6:00 and the program at 7:00. The program this month will be our friend and new club member Charlie Cole talking with us about The Friends of Yellowwood. Yellowwood State Forest is one of several little gems hidden away in our part of the Midwest. I am sure we need to pay attention to the welfare of these resources. Yellowwood State Forest

The second part of the program will be a demo of the Shenk’s Minnow and it’s close cousin Mary’s Strymph. Both these flies are really good for Smallies as well as those trouty things.  These patterns employ a dubbing loop, a useful technique for many patterns.

And, get ready for March, the auction with our own Kernal Kevin. More on that soon.

See you all on Tuesday the 17th at the Colorado Steakhouse,
