Official Meetings

Well, here we go, the first Official Meeting of the HFF will be this coming Tuesday, October 16th at the Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner will be at 6:00 and the program will be at 7:00. This month we will be treated to the excellent fly-tying skills of Dick Powell, Mike Donovan and Barry Clarke. I always pick up a useful bit of information watching these gentlemen work. Meetings are always open to the public, come join us for food, fun, and fly tying.

Our guest speaker for the November meeting will be Mike Exl from Moving Waters Outfitters. Mike will be talking about fishing the Tippecanoe watershed.

The December meeting will be the Christmas Party!

Another interesting feature of the October meeting is that we will offer a slate of Officers for the electing in November. That is correct, we are going to have an election for HFF officers.

Have a good weekend and stay warm!

April Meeting 2018

Snow on April 1st and Lake Monroe up 10.1 ft. this morning. Looks like a typical Indiana spring.

The April meeting of the HFF will be on the 17th, Tax Day this year. The program for this meeting is the Annual Auction!! If you hear some strange melodic sounds drifting around town, my guess is that it is auctioneer Kernal Kevin warming up for our grand event. Kevin needs wonderful stuff to auction, so sometime during the next two weeks gather up some wonderful stuff and bring it to the meeting. And yes, bring some of that extra cash from all those tax refunds. Time permitting, there will also be a tying demo.

The HFF picnic will be May 20th. Once again, the Clarkes have generously offered their home for the venue. More details to follow soon. Save the date!

I am off to gather some gems for the auction…see you at the Colorado Steakhouse on the 17th. Dinner at 6:00 auction at 7:00. As always, the auction is loads of fun and Kernal Kevin will convince you to carry home more than you brought.

Fishing Report:Friday the 13th!!! Maybe not such a good day to go fishing. Monroe was up to 12.8 ft this morning. My guess is that is a factor with the wipers coming in close enough to fish in the parking lots of our usual places.
