April 2026 HFF Meeting

In just 10 days a fun filled event and opportunity will take place…the Annual Hoosier Fly Fishers Auction!!  That will be Tuesday April 21st at the Legion. Dinner at 6:00 and the fun begins at 7:00. Once again we will be lucky to have Kernal Kevin and his dulcet tones calling the auction. 
 
We are looking for outdoor and especially fishing related donations again. As always there will be things you really need and want even if you didn’t know you needed or wanted them.  Tools, books, tackle and always lot of member tied flies. This will be a good opportunity to get rid of…​ I mean pass on what you bought last year…This will also be a good place to spend that pesky tax refund check. 
 
The auction helps fund the  Club picnic and Christmas party and gifts to the Legion folks, occasional conservation projects and Healing Waters and Casting for Recovery. 
 
The Annual picnic will be in May.  More on that soon.
 
Looking forward to see you all on the 21st.
 
Good fishing,
 
Tim

January 2026 HFF Meeting

I hope the new year is off to a good start for everyone and we are getting some winter fly tying done. I hear some talk about a football game coming up on the 19th. Our January meeting will be on the 20th, so we will be able to share a round of celebration or grief as the case may be… I am assuming it will be celebration!

The new meeting of the HFF will be on January 20th at the American Legion Post #18 on 3rd. Street here in Bloomington. Dinner will be at 6:00 PM and the program will start at 7:00 PM. The program this month will be four HFF members demonstrating different fly patterns.
Justin Swafford will be tying a Salmon/Steelhead fly.
Paul Brown will tie a Baby Fat Minnow.
Mike Donovan will be tying another pattern sure to catch fish,
I will be tying a Full Dressed Clouser Deep Minnow.

There are a number of fly fishing shows coming up including the Heartland Fly Fishing Festival in Lebanon, Indiana on the 16th and 17th. Get the 2026 season started off right!

There is also a fund raising event in Indianapolis on the 18th. Casting for a Cause sponsored by Casting for Recovery. For more information you may contact Tracy Woods at tracywoods2023@gmail.com
