April Auction 2017

April 2017 Auction

Several Members attended the annual HFF Auction of good stuff. Our own Kernal Kevin was in good form for the night and entertained us all with his auctioneering skills and wit. Items generously donated by members for the fundraiser included, pewter fly pens, fish creel full of stuff, Hummingbird fish locator, hand crafted wooden fish nets, tying lights, fly fishing books, fly lines, fly boxes, fly boxes filled with flies, and numerous packets of hand tied flies, all guaranteed to catch something. Many miscellaneous items were also auctioned off to help support the clubs activities. Thanks to Kernal Kevin and to those who brought cash to the meeting.

Meetings, Meetings 2017

Spring 2017 meetings

The next meeting of the HFF will be on February 21st.  As usual, we will meet at the Colorado Steakhouse at 6:00 for dinner and the program will begin at 7:00. The program this month will be our friend Rex Waters of IDNR telling us about public access to fishable waters in the area.  Reports have it that many of these will be relatively little known, little fished spots. Rex will also have a map of these sites which will be available to members.  I am looking forward to exploring some of these waters this season!

The March 21st meeting will be the Colorado Steakhouse Chef Steve showing us how to flay fish.  Chef Steve says he likes us as friends of the Colorado Steakhouse and that he will also treat us to a free walleye fish dinner!  Steve is an avid Bluegill fisherman and I think it would be great if he left the meeting with dozens of our best bluegill flies. Tie some up!

The April 18th meeting will be the annual auction.  Once again the auction will be called by our own Kernal Kevin Montague. So, gather up some really good stuff you can live without to donate to the auction and set aside a few extra bucks to buy all the stuff you can’t live without.

Finally, don’t forget the 2nd Annual Great American Fly Fishing Expo at the State Fairgrounds. in Indianapolis. The Great American Fly Fishing Expo has been merged into Tackle Town USA at the Ford Indianapolis Boat, Sport & Travel Show. Tackle Town USA is a 70,000 square foot, all things fishing related building, filled with everything a fisherman needs or dreams of owning. For more information on the show, please contact Mitch Renfro at (765) 400-5004

Have a great day,

FISH REPORT: 60 degrees and rain at Lake Monroe today. Fish will still bite if you can find them. Warm rain flowing in might make them hungry. February fish are hard to come by but a few anglers have caught a few fish. Smaller flies, slow retrieves and patience, lots of patience, might pay off.
