March 2019 HFF Meeting

The next meeting of the HFF will be March 19th at the Red Lobster. As usual we will meet at 6:00 PM for dinner and the program will begin at 7:00 PM. Our program this month will be a presentation by Dr. Ranjan Muthukrishnan on invasive aquatic species. I am sure this is an important and relevant topic for those of us who use and enjoy the outdoors. If time allows after the discussion, we will have a tying demonstration.

The April meeting will be at another new site, the Bloomington West Side American Legion. The program will be the annual auction. We ask the members to bring fishing/outdoor activities related items for the auction. Once again, we will have the pleasure of watching and listening to our own Kevin Montague show off his auctioneer skills.

The May meeting will be the annual Hoosier Fly Fishers picnic. Again, we thank the Clarke’s for their generous offer of their lakeside home for the picnic site. The tentative date is May 4th. Details and directions to follow. By all means bring a fly rod! I am including a picture of a typical Lake Lemon Bluegill.
See you at the Red Lobster on the 19th.

Meetings, Meetings 2017

Official Meetings Begin in October

October 17th will be the first meeting of the year for the Hoosier Flyfishers. We will be meeting on the third Tuesday of every month until June of 2018. The exception being the Christmas party, date to be announced. We will continue to meet at the Colorado Steakhouse, dinner will be at 6:00 and the program will begin at 7:00. Meetings are open to all members and anyone with an interest in Fly Fishing or Fly Tying. We always welcome new faces.

The program this month will be Jeanne and Charlie Shaw sharing highlights from their Montana adventure this summer. Word has it that they traveled with a GOPRO Hero, so it should be a “moving” experience.

Mike Donovan will be demonstrating tying some of his favorite fall streamers. And, bring a few extra bucks for the raffle.

Stay tuned for more details of upcoming programs. As always we welcome your suggestions for upcoming programs. Need I mention that dues are due? Annual Membership dues are always due in October and it is a great time to join the club to enjoy all the great fly tying demos and special Official Programs that are planned for the Official Meetings.

Hope to see you all Tuesday the 17th at the Colorado Steakhouse
At 6:00 for dinner and the excitement a new year of wonder filled
HFF programs and fancy fishing stories!

The International Fly Tying Symposium will be moving to Lancaster, PA in November 2017. The 2017 Event is scheduled for Nov. 11-12 in the ballroom of the Marriott Hotel, Lancaster, PA. The move was made necessary by the closing of the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, NJ. The IFTS is billed as the largest fly tying show of it’s type in the world. You can find more information on their website about schedules, a list of vendors, fly tiers, and classes that are on the schedule.
