November 2025 HFF Meeting

I trust you all had a good look at the Super Moon/Beaver Moon last night. I would give that one a wow! And, 70 degrees on Wednesday with snow this Sunday. The highs and lows of Indiana weather….consistently inconsistent.

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

The meeting will have two parts. Maggie Sullivan from Friends of Lake Monroe will tell us about the latest happens at Lake Monroe. I am sure we will have some questions and we ask you to forward those to Kevin Montague before the meeting.

Joe Smith from Healing Waters will be talking to us about fishing ephemeral flies. I understand he also has a little game to play.

If time allows I will tie a variation of the Clouser Fly. This one is my Full Dressed Clouser, perhaps at odds with “the skinnier the better” advice for Clousers but it works…

Also the Christmas Party is coming up on December 7th at the Red Lobster in Bloomington. We will meet at 11:00 AM to tell tales and eat about 12:00 noon. Please let Kevin know if you plan to attend. And I might add, dues are due.
Hoping to see you all at the meeting,
Tim

May 2025 HFF Meeting

Looks like another round of April showers…looks like we will have plenty of water for both May flowers and for fishing. I hope you have had a chance to use all the great fishing stuff you bought at the auction.

Annual  HFF Picnic
Annual HFF Picnic
A reminder that the annual HFF picnic will be May 10. Once again, the Clarke’s have offered their home on Lake Lemon as a site for our festivities. We will get started around 11:00 and eat at noonish. The club will provide burgers and hotdogs, buns, chips and soft drinks. We will all bring a side dish to round out the feast. The club will provide soft drinks, BYO adult beverages. Please let Barry know if you are attending so he can have enough food. RSVP barry.clarke@comcast.net. The Clark’s live at the end of Shoreline Gardens just off E Southshore Dr.

Looking forward to seeing everyone,
