It seems we now have some seasonably appropriate weather. I am really missing that run of warm, dry weather. I have heard weather forecasts today that include temps in the low 30s and even a bit in the 20s.  However, I would put plans for ice fishing off for a week or two at the point.

 

The next meeting of the HFF will be Tuesday November 17th at the American Legion Post on 3rd St.  Dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00.  The December 13th meeting will be the Christmas Party at the Red Lobster. Please let Barb know if you plan to attend.

 

The program this month will be tying flies using Deer Hair. Deer hair is used in a wide variety of patterns including wings, tails, bodies and heads etc. I even have a pattern for a deer hair Mulberry. 

 

We will have demos for three flies at this meeting.  Paul Brown will tie a Madam X, Mike Donovan will tie a Goddard’s Caddis and I will tie a Turks Tarantula. All these patterns use deer hair in some manner.  I assure we will hear other applications of this material in tying flies.  We look forward to suggestions for future programs and are always interested in having other members show off their skills tying their favorite patterns.

 

Don’t forget that dues are due for the coming year. Barb will be happy to take your money.

 

Again the Christmas Party is on December 13th at the Red Lobster. Please let Barb know if you plan to attend.

Looking for ward to seeing you all on the 17th. Dinner at 6:00 and the meeting  at 7:00.
