HFF Christmas Party Update.

2015 HFF Christmas Party

We had a good turn out for the Annual HFF Christmas Party.  Many members and guests enjoyed the hospitality at Bobby’s Colorado Steakhouse as well as the wonderful Brunch Buffet they serve on Sundays.  What a feast it was! I venture a guess to say no one went away hungry.

Everyone enjoyed the fellowship as well as the food,  It was a great get together during a special time of year.  Various discussions heard around the room included; what’s biting and where, do you use dubbing loops, now exactly where is this double secret Honey Hole,  you should have used a 4 weight, how many raffle tickets can I buy, yes I paid my dues, where’s Pablo, something about horsing around, and did you really catch a wiper that big?

Mark Fuller TFO Rod.After the meal the topic of discussion was the raffle. This years prize package was a new 9ft 6 wt TFO Clouser rod, TFO rod case, TFO Reel, a book titled Paddle Indiana, and a JL Waters Bandana,  all purchased at JL Waters on the town square downtown Bloomington. Congratulations to Mark Fuller, the new owner of the outfit. I’m sure he knows how to use it and will put it to good use.

FISH REPORT: Happy Holidays to one and all! (They are still biting, GO FISH).

HFF October Meeting

All streamers all the time, at least for the fly tying demos this year. The first meeting this year of the HFF will be October 20th at the Colorado Steakhouse, dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00.

The flies that will be featured are Al Fish tying a “Schminnow”, Paul Brown tying “Bob Popovic’s Hollow Fleye” and Mike Donavan will tie a “Parmachene Belle Streamer.”  Perhaps even someone else tying something else…

Mike B, Paul B and I fished Fairfax on Saturday. Between us we caught about 20 Wipers, all schoolies, but still Wipers and perhaps even an omen of bigger fish to come…at least we can hope.

And a reminder, dues are due…

See you all at the Colorado Steakhouse on October 20th.
