Meetings, Meetings 2019

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.

There will one more fly tying hands-on demo on March 6th at the Colorado Steakhouse. I am sure this session will be a good chance to meet some of the IU Fly Fishing Club members.

The HFF fly meetings are always open to anyone with an interest in fly fishing.   Feel free to drop by at any of our meetings or fly tying events.

The March 20th HFF meeting will be a seasonally appropriate program. Our own Mike Donovan and Dick Powell will be tying Bluegill flies! Mike and Dick are great tiers. These flies are guaranteed to catch fish and the fishing catching season is soon upon us. I for one am getting a very bad case of cabin fever and really need to get out on some water. And, please, when you catch a 1 # Bluegill on one of these flies, send us a picture for the web site.

The Annual Auction will be on April 17th.  Interesting fact, that is tax day. So bring all that money you have left over after the tax cut and buy some stuff. Also, once again Kernel Kevin will be the auctioneer and that is always a delight. Now is a good time to gather wonderful stuff for the auction…Kevin needs stuff to sell. 

The annual picnic will be in April…more on that later.

See you all on March 20th at the Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner at 6:00, program at 7:00
