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

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
