HFF Meeting March 17, 2020 Postponed

After a good deal of thought and deliberation, the Hoosier Fly Fishers executive committee has come to the conclusion that given the current state of affairs with the Corona Virus we will postpone the March 17th meeting until further notice.  This was not an easy decision; we were all looking forward to Joe Smith’s presentation on Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. It is our hope that we can reschedule this presentation later in the year. I will keep you informed as to how this change will affect the rest of the year.

Our plan for the rest of the year for the HFF programs is to proceed as planned, with the auction in April and then the picnic sometime in May.  We are working on having Joe Smith present his Program, Healing Waters Fly Fishing, in an early fall meeting.  I know we are all looking forward to this presentation.

 

About the auction; once again we are indeed fortunate to have our own Kevin “The Voice” as our auctioneer.  Remember, the auction is for fishing and outdoor recreation related items. So…round up all the really good stuff you don’t need and give Kevin something to work his magic with.

 

Sometime soon JL Waters will be sponsoring Fly Tying Lessons. Larry Barber will fill us in on the lessons at a later date.

 

Stay tuned for any changes/update in the upcoming programs.

 

Stay safe and well,

 

Tim

Fly Tying

A reminder that the HFF fly tying demo will be this coming Tuesday, February 27th at the Colorado Steakhouse. We will get started with a bit of diner at 6:00 and then on to the demos/hands-on tying.

We are trying something a little different this time. There will be three tiers each tying a fly pattern and then turning over the materials and tools to someone else to try. This time we will be tying three patterns; a Clouser Deep Minnow, a Wooly Bugger and a Rubber Spider. We have chosen these patterns because they all work well in our local waters and the techniques involved may be applied to many other patterns. For example, I will be tying a Clouser Minnow and will show at least half a dozen patterns variation that employ the basic technique.

We are really looking forward to any and all feedback on these sessions.

We will be doing another session on March 6th, same time same place.

Hope to see you there,

Tim
