Meeting Information

June 2026 HFF Meeting

I hope the weather has allowed you to do a bit of fishing. I fished the tailgate waters of Lake Griffy Friday and did well. May have done better if I hadn’t had to share the water with kids with worms and bobbers and dogs enjoying a nice little swim…Everyone had a good time!
 
The next meeting of the HFF will be on Tuesday June 16th. Again, we will meet at the American Legion Post #18 on third street. Dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00.
 
The program this month will be about dubbing. I borrow this sentence from Charlie’s Fly Box…”Let’s talk seriously about dubbing. In fly tying, the word is both a noun (the material) and a verb (the act of applying the material).”  There will be demonstrations of various techniques and materials. Looking forward to your added advice and questions. Anyone with the skills, tools and desire to get some of the demos up on the TV screen will be more than welcome!

Paul Brown  will demonstrate tying Smitherman’s Draggin’ Nymph. This is the one in the picture and uses Senyo’s Laser Dub in a manner new to me. My guess is that you will be impressed by how the abdomen is constructed from the Laser Dub.

 
Looking forward to seeing you all on the 16th. And hearing about all your fishing adventures for the summer.

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
