August 2024 Hff meeting

The next meeting of the HFF will be August 20th. Again, we will be meeting at the American Legion on 3rd Street with dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00.
 
It is interesting to note that on Monday 19th we will be treated to a Supermoon, Blue Moon which  is also the Sturgeon Moon. It seems fitting that our fishing group meeting will be introduced by  a Sturgeon Moon.
 
Kyle Swafford will lead us with a talk about fishing for/catching smallmouth bass. His talk will include some video information as well as his personal experience.  He will also be demonstrating a fly he claims really works for smallies. There will also be a video on tying a bluegill fly and some casting tips. I am sure I am not the only one interested in fishing for smallmouth bass in local waters. Perhaps there may even  be a bit more fly tying.
 
Hope to see you all there and look forward to hearing about your summer adventures. Again, dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00
 
See you there,
 
Tim
 

July 2024 HFF Meeting

The next meeting of the Hoosier Fly Fishers will be this coming Tuesday July 16th. Once again we will be meeting at the American Legion Hall in Bloomington. Dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00. Hope you are all able to join us and share some wonderfully true tales about your summer fishing adventures.
 
The program this month will feature Justin Swafford tying sohers for only $17.99. Looking forward to watching Justin tie some flies. 
 
I always look forward to these demos because as a fly tier myself, I always look forward to seeing others deal with the techniques and materials. It has been said that there are no new fly patterns. That may or may not be 100% true but there are sure a lot of new materials and techniques to learn about and apply to our craft. And, I might add, catch a few more fish.
 
Looking forward to seeing you all on July 16th. Stay cool and dry,
 
Tim
