Summer HFF Meeting June 21, 2022

The first summer meeting of the HFF will be next Tuesday the 21st.  I just looked at the 10-day weather forecast and it is calling for 99 degrees! A very good reason to stop by the Legion for the air conditioning and a cold beer. And if that wasn’t enough, Mike Donovan will be giving a fly tying demonstration. Mike’s demos are always fun to watch with lots of good information.

There are a number of items on the discussion/demonstration menu for the summer.  As always, we are looking for program suggestions…what would you like to see or hear about? There is strong interest in reading the various types of water in rivers and lakes. If possible we would like to actually get on some water for this discussion. We are also planning an outing at Yellowwood Lake, the date to be announced. Add to this there has been discussion about taking part in a Lake Monroe cleanup sometime this year.

Speaking of reading the water. This link is about the flooding in Yellowstone. I would read this water as really upset about something…

There will be the usual round-table discussion to start the meeting. This is a good chance to fill us in on your summer(mostly true) fishing success. As always there will be a raffle with neat stuff you really need.

Stay cool, see you at the meeting, Tim

HFF Meeting April 2022

The first agenda item is that we need to thank Larry Barber, Mike Donovan. and Kevin  Montague for their work with the rod building and fly tying classes. At the April meeting Larry will demonstrate  how to attach a leader to a fly line. Now it is time to take those new tools and skills out to the water and catch some fish!!

2019 HFF Annual Auction
HFF Annual Auction

Only nine more daze left until  the HFF Auction. That is right, the annual auction will be on April 19th. This is always a fun filled event and we get to listen to Kevin charm us out of all out of our tax returns.  As usual the auction will feature items donated by the club members. These items need to be related to fishing and general wholesome outdoor activities. There are usually some real bargains including flies tied buy members, perhaps a rod or two, stream side gadgets, and things you didn’t even know you needed.

So. The auction will be at the American Legion on April 19th. Dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00.

It is always fun to hear Kevin’s dulcet tones prodding us to bid for treasures. Hope to see you all there and in the meantime  gather up some high class stuff for the auction.

Stay warm and dry,

Tim
