fly tying | Hoosier Fly Fishers

I hope you all have managed survive the first thing that really looked like winter this yea the past day or so.

Save the evening of January 22^nd for our last HFF meeting at the Colorado Steakhouse. Unfortunately, they are closing on January 31^st. We will really miss this venue. As always eat at 6PM meeting at 7PM.

We are searching for a new venue and will let everyone know as soon as we have settled this. As always, we are open to your suggestions.

So, in remembrance of the good times we have had there, as previously announced, we will be featuring some programs from the past. Dick Powell, Mike Donovan, and Barry Clarke will be tying flies. In addition , Kevin Montague will be holding a 3 or 4 item MINI auction, this is just so we can remember his dulcet voice and fast talking skills. No need to bring any items, I will cover this…however, bring some money… Don’t worry, Kevin will be back for the official full fledged auction later this year.

And, if that is not enough, and if I can figure out the technical issues, a brief (three minute) movie, A Summer on Clear Creek, put together by Paul Brown and me a few years ago.

The first Official fall meeting of the Hoosier Fly Fishers went well. Several members were in attendance for the great food and fly tying demos. A slate of nominees was presented by Mike Donovan for next month’s election of officers.

Fly tying demos were presented by Barry Clarke and Dick Powell. Barry tied Lefty’s Deceiver and Dick showed how to tie a Parachute Adams. Both did a good job of explaining the details that make both flies very popular with anglers .
