November HFF Meeting and More

    This seems to be a season of change.  First, I think the water temp at Monroe seems to be getting low enough to invite the big Wipers into shore. Second, Halloween ads are being replaced by Christmas ads (I wonder what happened to Thanksgiving?).  And third, perhaps most importantly, we are going to try something new for the next meeting.  For those of you who were at the last meeting, you will remember Larry’s presentation of the “fly tying contest” event. Please understand this is not “real’ contest just a fun event to demonstrate a variety of tying techniques. So please join us for the fun on next Tuesday, November 15th at Bobby’s Colorado Steak House at 6PM.

For the ten folks who expressed interest in this gala event at the last meeting, please note that you will need to bring your own tying tools e.g. Vise, thread, ect. also a light, battery powered would be best. I am attaching the details of the “Hoosier Fly Fishers Fly Tying Challenge” as provided by Larry B and Paul B. More about the Fly Tying Challenge can be found in the club members discussion forums.

Membership Dues are due if you haven’t already paid those. Now would be a great time to join the club to get in on all the fall and winter HFF Club meetings and demos.  We are planning the annual Christmas Party for Hoosier Fly Fishers club members! This will be December 11th at the Colorado Steakhouse. The fun will begin at about 11:00 AM and we will eat at about 12:00.

FISH REPORT: Lake Monroe water temperatures are cooling down fast and fish catching has been sporadic. Wipers were very active about a month ago but only the small schoolies.  No big fish have appeared yet. Several of the club members and fly fishers from Indy and Shelbyville have been fishing for them from shore with little success. We’re hoping the good bite is yet to come.  Several bass have been caught in the backs of coves where you can still find weeds. The heavy frost this morning will make the weeds disappear soon.  A few crappies and yellow bass have been caught also.

HFF Annual Christmas Party

A reminder…The annual Christmas Party will be December 13th at the Colorado Steakhouse. We will get started at 12:00 noon.

As is always the case, the food, coffee and soft drinks will be provided by the club.  However, if you want or need a seasonally appropriate adult beverage, that is on your dime.  And there will be usual excitement surrounding the raffle prize. That prize is yet to be determined but I do know it will not be a bowling ball or set of golf clubs. Rather, I would look for some much coveted fly fishing gear.

If you have not paid your dues, this would be a good time…pay dues, get a free meal. I doubt there is a better deal around.

Looking ahead to the April meeting…that will be our annual auction. So I am planning to round up some good stuff for the auction and try to round up a few dollars to take home some of the cool stuff you all bring to the auction.  Once again we will be treated to the dulcet voice and clever rapid fire patter of our own Kevin Montague.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the HFF annual Christmas party on December 13th at the Colorado Steakhouse.

Fish Report: fish are still biting at double secret Honey Hole locations on flies of appropriate size and color. Just slow things down a bit for some December action.
