First Official Meeting of the Fall 2019

Well, here we are, the first official meeting of the year for the HFF is this coming Tuesday, October, 15th.  Again, this year we will be meeting at the American Legion Post # 18 at 1800 W. 3rd Street, Bloomington. Dinner at 6:00 PM and the program at 7:00PM.

The meeting this month will be a discussion on the 3-5 best flies for Wipers/Walleyes. Please bring your suggestions and/or examples.  We will also be treated to a tying demo by our own Mike B. He will tie a Clouser Minnow. BTW, when some folks are asked their 3 best Wiper flies the answer will be; Gray over white Clouser, chartreuse over white Clouser and an all white Clouser. Although I have heard some mumbles about a Deceiver… I am guessing there might even be some Wiper flies in the raffle.

As this is the first meeting of the year, dues are due, $20 for the whole year.  We will also create a slate of officers for next year to be voted on during the November meeting. Those lucky winners will take office at the Christmas party. The Members Christmas party will be Saturday December 14th at 5:00PM at the American Legion. The club provides the meal. The menu will be Turkey or Ham, Whipped Potatoes, Green Beans, Tossed Salad and Desert. Coffee-tea and rolls are provided. Appropriate Adult beverages will be on your tab.

As always, we are looking for future program ideas. Please do make some suggestions.  Hoping to see you all this coming Tuesday. 6:00 at the American Legion Blue Room.

Stays warm,

Tim

Official Meetings

Well, here we go, the first Official Meeting of the HFF will be this coming Tuesday, October 16th at the Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner will be at 6:00 and the program will be at 7:00. This month we will be treated to the excellent fly-tying skills of Dick Powell, Mike Donovan and Barry Clarke. I always pick up a useful bit of information watching these gentlemen work. Meetings are always open to the public, come join us for food, fun, and fly tying.

Our guest speaker for the November meeting will be Mike Exl from Moving Waters Outfitters. Mike will be talking about fishing the Tippecanoe watershed.

The December meeting will be the Christmas Party!

Another interesting feature of the October meeting is that we will offer a slate of Officers for the electing in November. That is correct, we are going to have an election for HFF officers.

Have a good weekend and stay warm!
