The next meeting of the HFF will be February 17th. We will meet at the American Legion Post #18 on 3rd street here in Bloomington with dinner at 6:00 PM and the program at 7:00 PM.

This is a busy month coming up we have the Cincinnati Fly Show on Sat Feb 8th starting at 9AM and then The Super Bowl on Sunday and if that were not enough, February 14th is Valentine’s Day. Do something nice for someone nice. Then in addition to the HFF meeting on the 17th that will be the Lunar New Year and it is the Year of the Horse.

The HFF meeting this month will feature Justin Swafford. Justin will be giving a program on rod building. This will consist of a presentation of some sort as well as a demonstration on how to wrap guides and trim bands. He will also be bringing tools and components needed to build a rod to give everyone a visual idea of what they will need to get started. I’m sure as usual there will be lots of questions and he will be ready to answer those as well. Filling out the meeting will be the Club raffle which has been having some really nice prizes and flies.

A reminder that The HFF Annual Auction of Good Fishing Stuff will be the April meeting. So gather up some of the extra fishing related stuff you are looking to pass on to some worthy person. Also gather some extra cash to take home some of the fishing related stuff someone else wanted to pass on to a worthy person.

Looking forward to Justin’s rod building program. See you all on the 17th

Stay warm,

Tim
