October 2025 HFF Meeting

I trust we are all enjoying this weather. I assume it will become more “seasonally appropriate” sooner or later and that we are all getting a little fall fishing in…nothing like retrieving through fallen leaves.

The next meeting of the HFF will be October 21st. We will again meet at the American Legion Post 18 here in Bloomington. Diner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00.

The program this month will be “seasonally appropriate” with Kevin Montague presenting steps necessary to prepare your fly fishing equipment for the winter. After everything is cleaned and oiled perhaps sit down and tie some flies.

The Tying demo this month will be Paul Brown tying the mini-dungeon, a streamer that worked very well for him out West this year. He may tell a few tales of his adventures on the Big Horn and Bull Creek.

There will be some information about Trout Unlimited’s release of trout in Sugar Creek at Camp Atterbury this November 3rd. More details at the meeting.

Again the HFF will meet on the 21st. Dinner at 6:00, program at 7:00
Hope to see you all there.

Go fishing,

Tim

September 2025 HFF Meeting

I do hope you have been able to enjoy this fine weather and perhaps even do a little fishing! The meeting this month will be on September 16th. We will again meet at the American Legion here in Bloomington, dinner at 6:00 and the meeting at 7:00. Be sure to bring some tales (true or not) to share of your fishing adventures during the Once Around at the beginning of the program.

The program this month will feature four of our members tying flies that have worked well for them in the area. Feel free to walk from tier to tier , ask questions, make comments…
Elizabeth will tie a “Mop like fly”
Mike will tie a “Burlap Nymph”
Kyle will tie a “Bang Tail”
Tim will tie a little Deer Hair bug that has worked quite well on Clear Creek.

It is always fun and interesting to see folks tie, share ideas, answer questions and share techniques. As always, we look forward to your ideas for future meetings. HFF meetings are open to anyone interested in fly fishing or fly tying or one pound bluegills. Come join us for good food and fun.

See you all on the 16th. Go fishing!
Stay tuned in, we may be discussing really BIG FISH in October……..
