March HFF Meeting

The next meeting of the HFF will be March 15 at the Colorado Steakhouse. Dinner will be at 6:00 and the program to begin at 7:00.

The program this month will be a “tie-a-thon” featuring Mike Donovan and Dick Powell  (and perhaps another talented tier). This will be a good opportunity to gather some ideas for patterns and some interesting techniques to get ready for what is going to be a really good year of fishing. I know it is gong to be a good year for fishing, however, the catching part is still to be determined. Dick will be tying several variations of the Matuka Streamer. This is a really neat fly pattern that turns the head of many a Smallie.

The excitement is building for the April 19th meeting! This will be the AUCTION! Once again we are lucky enough to have Kernal Kevin use his fast talk and boundless charm to part us with our hard earned funds. What we need from all of you is lots of good stuff to auction off. While I am sure there will be lots of very desirable items in the auction, if time allows, I will tie a bluegill fly that one caught 6 fish on 7 casts at the annual picnic at Lake Lemon.

Yes the annual picnic is coming up on May 14th. Once again Berry Clarke has generously offered to host the party.  As usual, the club will provide burgers, dogs, buns and chips. We will provide sides. I will bring a chocolate cake to counter all the salads.

See you all on March 15th at the Colorado Steakhouse. As always, dinner will be at 6:00 and the program at 7:00.

Crappies

Fish Report: Lake Monroe is up over 6ft from normal pool. Fishing is tough from shore now but crappies have been biting. Recent rains have raised the water temperatures up into a range where fish are on the move. Jonathan reports small pond fishing is doing good now. Spring is here.

Go fishing,

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.
