We had a good turnout for the April HFF Meeting. For those that were expecting to see Ian Anderson we apologize. He will reschedule and join us later in the year.
Most everyone came to the meeting for the great food and service at the Colorado Steakhouse and the fellowship and fly fishing tales. However, the highlight of the evening was the fly tying demonstrations done by club members Dick Powell and Mike Donovan.
Our newest members, Rowan and David joined in on the fly tying and the older members were eager to help them. It was an enjoyable meeting and almost everyone went home with new flies and hopes of great success using them.
The next HFF Club meeting will be at the annual club picnic on the 31st of May. More information will be posted soon.
Fishing Report: Spring is here and along with it comes rain and high waters in some of Indiana’s rivers and reservoirs. Most rivers have high flow rates from the reservoirs release rates but most small ponds and pits are looking good. Most small streams are clear and wadable now and fish are on the move with water temperatures ranging from the low 40’s in tailwaters to almost 60 degrees in small ponds. Fish are hungry and eager to bite this time of year. One Pound Bluegills, crappies, and bass are active in the small ponds and pits. Reports have come in of a few smallmouth being caught in creeks and some walleye, white bass, crappies, and wipers moving in the rivers and below dams. Check the stream flow rates on this website in the sidebars and forums. Get out and give it a try, let us know how you do!
