February 2019 Meeting Update

Another reminder that the February 19th meeting will be held at La Charreada Restaurant.

As usual, we will start with dinner at 6:00 followed by the business meeting and the program (don’t forget about the raffle).  And, so begins the search for the best future location for the meetings of the HFF. However, please keep in mind, the very best place to meet a fellow fisher person is on the water!

The program this month will be some wonder filled fly-tying demos. As announced, Barry Clarke will be tying a salt water pattern. In addition, Paul Brown will tie something wonderful and I will tie a Bluegill pattern. I must warn you, I have received a complaint on this pattern at a past HFF picnic… Phil reported that he only caught 6 fish on 7 casts…it must have been his casting skill.

The March meeting will be at the Red Lobster  on March 19th.   Additional upcoming events include the raffle and the picnic and I am sure we are all looking forward to a summer filled with great fishing adventures.

January 2019

I hope you all have managed  survive the first thing that really looked like winter this yea the past day or so.

Save the evening of January 22nd for our last HFF meeting at the Colorado Steakhouse. Unfortunately, they are closing on January 31st.  We will really miss this venue. As always eat at 6PM meeting at 7PM.

We are searching for a new venue and will let everyone know as soon as we have settled this.  As always, we are open to your suggestions.

So, in remembrance of the good times we have had there, as previously announced, we will be featuring  some programs from the past. Dick Powell, Mike Donovan, and Barry Clarke will be tying flies. In addition , Kevin Montague will be holding a 3 or 4 item MINI auction, this is just so we can remember his dulcet voice and fast talking skills. No need to bring any items, I will cover this…however, bring some money… Don’t worry, Kevin will be back for the official full fledged auction later this year.

And, if that is not enough, and if I can figure out the technical issues, a brief (three minute) movie, A Summer on Clear Creek, put together by Paul Brown and me a few years ago.
