The February 2020 meeting will be Tuesday February 18th at the Bloomington American Legion Post #18. Items on the agenda will be a meal at 6PM, Business meeting and discussions at 7PM, and the program for the night will be fly tying demos. HFF will feature three different tying stations with members tying various flies. One of the members might be tying One Pound Bluegill flies. A club raffle will follow the tying demos.

Anyone interested in fly fishing or fly tying is welcome to attend. There seems to be increased interest in fly tying and this would be a good time to come see what it’s all about. More fly tying demos and maybe even tying classes will be scheduled in the future, so stay tuned. Hope to see you there.
Upcoming meetings: Project Healing Waters, Annual Club Auction with Kernal Kevin, and the club picnic.
Once again the Hoosier Fly Fishers Annual fund raising auction was a big success. Kernal Kevin did a wonderful job of entertaining us all with his quick wit and humor as well as getting top dollar for all the good stuff that members donated. If you purchased or are missing a white laundry basket o’ stuff you can see Charlie at the HFF Picnic or surely it will show up at next years auction. Thanks to everyone that donated good stuff and bought stuff to help support Hoosier Fly Fishers. We would also like to thank the Bloomington American Legion Post #18 for their hospitality, great food and service.
The next HFF Meeting will be the annual picnic. Speaking of the annual picnic, May 4th 11:00 AM food at 12:3…the picnic this year will again be at Susie and Barry’s Lake Lemon home. As always, a hardy thanks to Barry and Susie for their generosity. The club will provide burgers and buns, chips and stuff like that, and soft drinks. If you want an “Appropriate Adult Beverage”, that is on you. Bring a side dish or dessert to share. As is always the case, bring some fishing stuff. Who knows, Lake Lemon may indeed hold some of those elusive 1# Bluegill we hear so much about. For 1# bluegill Larry Barber recommends at least a 8wt rod.
If you missed this years annual auction here are a few pictures so you can see what you missed.
