January 2026 HFF Meeting

HFF Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month usually beginning at 6:00 PM and run until about 9:00 PM. We meet at the American Legion Post # 18 here in Bloomington just off of Third Street. Supper at 6:00, meeting at 7:00. Great food, lots of fun, good friends.

HFF meetings are open to the public, bring a friend.

Details on the January meeting coming soon. Hope to see you there.

November 2025 HFF Meeting

I trust you all had a good look at the Super Moon/Beaver Moon last night. I would give that one a wow! And, 70 degrees on Wednesday with snow this Sunday. The highs and lows of Indiana weather….consistently inconsistent.

The next meeting of the HFF will be November 18th. We will again meet at the American Legion Post 18 here in Bloomington. Diner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00.

The meeting will have two parts. Maggie Sullivan from Friends of Lake Monroe will tell us about the latest happens at Lake Monroe. I am sure we will have some questions and we ask you to forward those to Kevin Montague before the meeting.

Joe Smith from Healing Waters will be talking to us about fishing ephemeral flies. I understand he also has a little game to play.

If time allows I will tie a variation of the Clouser Fly. This one is my Full Dressed Clouser, perhaps at odds with “the skinnier the better” advice for Clousers but it works…

Also the Christmas Party is coming up on December 7th at the Red Lobster in Bloomington. We will meet at 11:00 AM to tell tales and eat about 12:00 noon. Please let Kevin know if you plan to attend. And I might add, dues are due.
Hoping to see you all at the meeting,
Tim
