Not that you all need it, but here is another reminder of the HFF gala
Christmas Party at the Colorado Steakhouse this Sunday December 15th. Buffet starting at 11:00 and the raffle will be at 1:00. The Christmas raffle prize is a TFO BVK 9ft. 6wt. rod with hard case and Orvis Clearwater large arbor reel. This is a good outfit of the local fishing opportunities. I am sure it will handle the local Smallies and may in fact be stout enough of those legendary One Pound Bluegills we all catch or dream of catching…dream of catching…dream of catching…

Some other thought. I hope you all had the good graces of making sure your wife had a nice, new shovel to deal with the recent snow. I am not sure it is more important but it is getting around time to think about getting your 2014 fishing license and annual state park pass.  And, I hope to get at least one more ice free day so I can catch at least one December fish without the indignity of ice fishing.  After all, it is so damn hard to cut a long enough hole to fly fish through the ice.

And, once again, a reminder, this year’s Christmas Party will be
December 15th at the Colorado Steakhouse. The club will pick up the tab for a paid up member and a guest and their non-alcoholic beverages. For those of us who prefer a more seasonally recommended alcoholic beverage, the drinks are on the drinker. And while visions of sugar plumbs may be dancing in your head, personally, I am dreaming of that TFO BVK 6wt rod and One Pound Bluegills, while giving thanks to JLWaters and Jonathan for their help in making this possible.

Hope to see you there,

Tim
