July 2021 HFF Meeting

Good afternoon, I hope we have all had a chance to do a little fishing before all this recent rain and flooding. As always, I am interested to see what this last flood has done to Clear Creek. It is always amazing how much power moving water has to change the landscape.

Our first casual summer meeting of the year will be JULY 20th at 6:00 PM at the Bloomington American Legion Post #18. We will be back to our usual third Tuesday schedule with this meeting.  As a reminder, the “normal” HFF meeting will start on the third Tuesday
in October. Given the events of the past year or so, managing to return anything back to a “normal” schedule is an interesting concept. As always, the executive committee is looking for ideas for programs and/or tying demos are always welcome.

I will be most interested in tales of your experience with fishing the Cicada hatch. Since I will only be 95 when it comes around, I am collecting fly pattern ideas and techniques so I will be more ready next time…

Looking forward to seeing you all on July 20th to share tall tales of the past year.  Again, we will be meeting at the America Legion Post # 18 at 1800 w. 3rd St. from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM.

See you soon,

Tim

April 2021 Meeting of the Hoosier Fly Fishers

I trust you are all enjoying this weather and perhaps even getting a bit of fishing. Aw yes, and the shots…my guess is that most of us are on the way to having a complete round of the vaccines. I want to announce that we will be having a casual meeting of the HFF on Wednesday April 28th 6:00 PM ‘til 9:00 PM at the Bloomington  American Legion Post # 18 in the Blue Room. There will be no program this time, just a chance to get together and actually see another human face to face.

Hoping to see you all there on  Wednesday the 28th!

Tight lines, 

Tim

Discussion Suggestion:

Ya know I think I would like to hear a round table with everyone sharing their favorite outfit. This being rod, reel, line ,leader tippet and fly.

I am kinda old school so would be the outfit I have used for 50 some years.
