HFF Meeting March 2023

Kernal Kevin
Kernal Kevin working his magic.

The March meeting of the Hoosier Fly Fishers will be Tuesday 21st.  As usual we will be meeting at the American  Legion Post 18 here in Bloomington, dinner at 6:00 and the meeting at 7:00. And a special meeting it will be!!! The annual auction with Kernal Kevin and his dulcet tones separating us from a few extra bucks for wonderful things we didn’t know how badly we really needed them. This year the resulting funds will be split 50/50 between Casting for Recovery and Project Healing Waters.

Sooo…. gather up some fishing related and outdoor activities items to donate for the auction.  I have it on good authority that there will be a good selection of member tied flies and perhaps a feather or two. A book or two may be nice as a survey indicates that 52% of the members can actually read and they can all look at pictures.

The April meeting will be presented by Friends of Lake Monroe and Larry Barber. The discussion will revolve around efforts to keep the sediment out of Monroe and other waters.  The work the Club did on Yellowwood has served as a test site for the methods of measuring the depth and clarity of the water. This will be an informative and exciting meeting.  If this were not enough, Elizabeth Burleson will be doing a fly tying demo.  Lots to look forward to here, see you there.

The Annual Club picnic in May will be June 3rd.  Again, we can thank the Clarkes for generously hosting the event. Details on this to follow. And yes,the MAY meeting will be the picnic on JUNE 3rd.

See you all on March 21st. Bring stuff for the auction, bring money, take stuff home from the auction…

Stay warm,

Tim

We are really looking forward to the October 18th HFF meeting.  As  usual we will meet at 6:00 for dinner and the program will start at 7:00. This month we have a terrific program. We will be hosting  a presentation  by Joe Smith about Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and the important work they are doing for our veterans.

Before this evenings  program we will be  having a brief business meeting. Kevin will bring us up to date on the Volunteer Work Day at Yellowwood Lake State Forest on November 5th. The plan is to clear some of the shoreline of two fishing jetties to restore or improve access for fishing.

Barb Hatton will briefly discuss the up coming Casting for Recovery program.

We will be presenting the Slate of Officers for next year. This includes:
President– Charlie Shaw
Vice President-Program- Mike Donovan
Newsletter- Tim Mather
Treasurer– Barb Hatton

Please feel free to nominate from the floor. If none is made we will move to elect as stated.

After this brief business meeting there will be a short break during which you may buy some tickets for the raffle at the end of the meeting and/or  to pay annual dues.

After the short break we will get on with the real interesting and important part of the meeting. Joe Smith will be  talking to us about Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and the important work they do for our veterans. Looking forward to understanding the role fly fishing has in and is helping veterans and how we may help. We will have two additional guests with us for the meeting. Two American Legion Commanders from adjacent counties will be joining us for the evening. 

As always, we will meet at 6:00 for dinner with the program starting at 7:00. Looking forward to seeing you all there,
