February HFF Meeting 2022

The February meeting of the Hoosier Fly Fishers will on the 15th.  As always we will me at the American Legion Post # 18 at 1800 W. 3rd. ST. Bloomington.

Dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00. If you haven’t used up all your February fun on Valentine’s Day, please join us for some fishy fun.  As usual we will start the meeting with round table discussion, some club news, and ideas for future programs. There will be another chance to pick up some terrific tying materials from the Dick Powell collection. Sad to announce that it seems that all the Fly Tying Shows for the year have been cancelled.  There will be some news about the Rod Building and Fly Tying Classes.

The program this month will be the rescheduled Larry Barber’s presentation on “What Fish Eat”or at least what they eat when it comes to nymphs. Charlie Shaw has put together a video presentation of the little fellows swimming.

We will be meeting in the “bingo” room using the large TV screen for the videos. This promises to be a very informative program. Larry has also tied examples of these flies representing the various nymphs.

It looks like we are in for some reasonably OK weather for the next 10 daze or so, so there should be no problem driving. I personally have no problem leaving all the snow for the Winter Olympics. Looking  forward to seeing you all on February  15th at the Legion. Dinner at 6:00, program at 7:00.

Stay warm and dry,

November 2021 HFF Meeting

The next meeting of the HFF will be Tuesday, November 16th at the American Legion post on 3rdst. Dinner at 6:00 PM Program at 7:00 PM.

This will be a busy and exciting meeting. First we will have an up or down vote on the officers for next year. They will be installed at the December meeting. There will be a selection of hackle for sale at half the original price. These will be for personal tying and not for resale. There are some real deals here for your winter fly tying adventures. In addition to the feathers, there will be some rod building supplies and several finished rods for your perusal. As always, looking for future program suggestions and hearing a few of your fantastic fishing stories.

On the program Barry Clarke will demonstrate the Uni Knot and several of its applications in fly fishing. There will be some paracord for some hands-on practice. Tim will be demonstrating how to tie the “Lake Lemon Lady” nymph. This is a pretty darn good Bluegill fly.

We are working on a location for the Christmas Party…suggestions are welcome. We will let you know as soon as a site is confirmed. Looking forward to seeing you all this coming Tuesday the 16th at American Legion Post # 18 at 1800 W. 3rd. ST> Bloomington. Dinner at 6:00 PM and the program at 7:00 PM.

In the meantime go chase some Wipers at Lake Monroe…

Best to you all,

Tim
