HFF February Meeting

The next HFF meeting will be February 18th at the Colorado Steakhouse.   Dinner at 6:00 and the program starts at 7:00.  The program this month will be fly tying.  Several members, who and what exactly to be announced,  will be showing their skill at various techniques and patterns.  As I have in the past asked, cajoled, begged and pleaded, if there is a pattern or technique you would like to see,  let me or Mike Donovan know.  Someone in the club will know how.

On the tying front, we have made arrangements with JLWaters to use some of their space as a location to get together and tie flies, share ideas, and I suppose, bitch about the weather and brag about our fishing prowess.  We will have the space downstairs where the ski shop used to be, it is a nice space and a new wall offers some privacy.   Bring your own stuff and tools. This is also a good opportunity to buy some stuff from JLWaters.  I think it would be a good idea to bring an extra light.  So, see you all Saturday February 8th at 1:00 PM.  I am thinking of tying some simple yet very effective deer hair bugs. This is not a class or demo, just a chance to share.
