The next meeting of the HFF will be February 16th. As always, we will meet at the Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner at 6:00 PM and the program at 7:00 PM.
Our program this month will be a presentation by Jill Vance, C.G.I. Interpretive Naturalist for Monroe Lake. Jill will tell us all about the Special Events and programs going on at Monroe Lake. She will be asking for our help with two events. The first event is on June 4th, Youth Fishing Derby and the second event is on September 24th, Furs, Fins and Feathers. For the second event she will be asking for our help with some fly casting and fly tying demos. I might also add for anyone interested Shoreline Cleanup will be September 11th.

Mike Donovan will be tying a hair wing streamer for the tying demo at the February Meeting. As usual, I am sure it will be very informative. Maybe someday soon it will warm enough to actually use some flies.
Speaking of fly tying, the HFF will be having beginner fly tying lessons the first three Saturdays of March. These will be held at JLWaters and will start at 9:30 in the morning. More details will be coming very soon. In the meantime, feel free to contact Larry Barber at lbarber@bluemarble.net for more information.
It is time to get that new Indiana State Park Pass, and soon it will be time to renew fishing license. You can do this online at the INDNR Licensing website.
See you all at the Colorado Steakhouse next Tuesday.
Stay warm, Tim
