September HFF Meeting

Officially the last unofficial summer meeting of the HFF will be this coming Tuesday, September 15, at the Colorado Steakhouse at 6:00 P.M.  Looking forward to wild tales of successful summer fishing, I for one, need to hear that at least someone had a good summer on the water.

Speaking of water, we sure had more than enough this summer!
Lake Monroe is finally back to regular pool after being up 11.6 feet. I am holding out for good fall Wiper season.

Some news… Streamer patterns will be the featured tying demonstrations this year.

As always, we look for suggestions of patterns you would like to see and certainly looking for anyone who would like to demo their favorite pattern.

The first official meeting will be Tuesday, October 20th. Join us for the fun; dinner at 6:00 P.M. and the program will start at 7:00 P.M. Stay tuned for information about the October program.

Please save Sunday December 13th for our annual Christmas party. The fun will begin at 12:00. Details to follow soon.

Is anyone interest in fly tying classes? Please let me know if you or anyone you know would be interested in either a beginning or advanced classes.

Again, join us on Tuesday September 15 at the Colorado Steakhouse at 6:00 P.M. for the last summer meeting.

Well, one way or another, for better or worse, another year has slipped by. Why do the years seem to be shorter and moving faster then ever? As is always the case, I have fished as much as possible and as always,  that didn’t seem like nearly enough. I promise myself (same as last year) I will do better this coming year. I am pretty sure I will be dreaming of Smallies dancing in my head tonight.

The next meeting of our merry band of flyfishers is January 20, 2015.
Hope to see you there, new programs, new fly pattern demos, new raffle items, same old fellowship and tall tales. Again we will meet at the Colorado Steakhouse, dinner at 6:00 and the program at 7:00. Program details to follow soon.

The first Indiana Fly Fishing Expo will be Saturday Jan. 10th: 9am-5pm, Sunday Jan. 11th: 10am-4pm at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Ag-Hort Building 1202 East 38th St, Indianapolis, Indiana (http://www.inflyfishingexpo.com).  Bob Clouser will be the headline speaker. The list of other speakers is equally exciting and of course there will be fly tying demos, casting   demos, lots of warm water stuff and an impressive list of vendors.

Your 2014 Indiana State Fishing License will expire the end of March, after that you will need a 2015 Fishing License and Trout Stamp. You can purchase them both online here. (http://www.in.gov/ai/appfiles/dnr-license/index.html) .

State Park Passes and Boat Launch Permits are due the first of the year.  You can purchase them at any State Park Office or online at their store as well as other IDNR stuff. (http://stores.innsgifts.com/2014-state-park-permits/).

Have a good holiday and see you all on the 20th,
