Going Once…….

The March HFF meeting and Annual Club Auction was a big hit with members and guests alike. As always KevinM was in good form and squeezed a good bit of dirty old money out of the crowd, he even coaxed a few pennies out of the folks in back of the room.  There seemed to be lots of interest in all the donated items except for a couple of unidentified cream and crimson bags. However, with Kevin’s auctioneer-ing expertise  all items were sold with proceeds going to support club activities.  Some of the items were so popular they may even show up again in next years auction.  Be sure to not miss that event! Thanks Kernal Kevin.

After the club auction Mike Donovan gave a fly tying demonstration of his version of an  Alexandra. Mike always does a good job on his flies and takes time to explain his techniques. The fly tying theme this year has been Classical Flies Before 1960.

Tim Mather, club President, welcomed a few new faces to the group who were present for the auction. They all seemed impressed with the nights events and I expect a good turnout for the next club meeting. More on that soon!

February Meeting

We’re having pretty good fishing weather, or maybe not. Rumor has it that spring will get here someday. My only concern is that I recognize fishable weather when is gets here, it has been awhile. I am thinking it is time to pick the damn groundhog who has the most favorable prediction and maybe one who bites a mayor to boot.  In the meantime, let’s focus on the February meeting of the HFF.

The February meeting of the HFF will be on the 17th at the Colorado Steakhouse. As usual, dinner will be at 6:00 and the program at 7:00. The program this month will be our friend and new club member Charlie Cole talking with us about The Friends of Yellowwood. Yellowwood State Forest is one of several little gems hidden away in our part of the Midwest. I am sure we need to pay attention to the welfare of these resources. Yellowwood State Forest

The second part of the program will be a demo of the Shenk’s Minnow and it’s close cousin Mary’s Strymph. Both these flies are really good for Smallies as well as those trouty things.  These patterns employ a dubbing loop, a useful technique for many patterns.

And, get ready for March, the auction with our own Kernal Kevin. More on that soon.

See you all on Tuesday the 17th at the Colorado Steakhouse,
