Going Once…….

The March HFF meeting and Annual Club Auction was a big hit with members and guests alike. As always KevinM was in good form and squeezed a good bit of dirty old money out of the crowd, he even coaxed a few pennies out of the folks in back of the room.  There seemed to be lots of interest in all the donated items except for a couple of unidentified cream and crimson bags. However, with Kevin’s auctioneer-ing expertise  all items were sold with proceeds going to support club activities.  Some of the items were so popular they may even show up again in next years auction.  Be sure to not miss that event! Thanks Kernal Kevin.

After the club auction Mike Donovan gave a fly tying demonstration of his version of an  Alexandra. Mike always does a good job on his flies and takes time to explain his techniques. The fly tying theme this year has been Classical Flies Before 1960.

Tim Mather, club President, welcomed a few new faces to the group who were present for the auction. They all seemed impressed with the nights events and I expect a good turnout for the next club meeting. More on that soon!

March, Mystery Fly, Auction Madness

Wow, what a month March is! The 8th is the start of Daylight Savings
time, the 20th is the first day of spring and, perhaps most importantly, the HFF annual auction is March 17th. If that is not enough excitement, our own Mike Donovan will be tying a fly, and a mystery fly at that.

So here is the plan, wish or pray for warm, fishable weather, your
choice of method. Now to be ready for this marvelous event, warm
weather and all that it brings, it is time to get rid of some of your
extra high quality fishin’ stuff for the benefit of the club and acquire some new high quality stuff other club members foolishly think they need to get rid of… Bring money and high quality stuff.  And, BTW, that includes high quality money as well.

And, you may well ask, how do we manage to pull off such an august
event in March? The answer is simple, Kurnel Kevin. Kevin is an auctioneer nonpareil, able to wring the last few dollars out of your
hands for a good cause. So come and enjoy Kevin’s wit and charm, an
appropriate adult beverage and good fellowship.

The March meeting of the HFF will be March 17th at the Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner will be at 6:00 and the Auction will begin at 7:00. See you all then and there.

Stay warm,

Tim
