Sailing the Streams of Cheese

Date: May 5, 2007
Location: Canyon
Air temp: low 50s to mid 60s
Water temp: ??? (I really need to buy some new batteries)
Hatches: BWO?
Fish landed: 4 or 5 browns

Present members of the Fly Anglers Guild :|: Upper Midwest Chapter, for this outing were:

Fruit Booter
Xan


For the regular season opener, we took FB's canoe down the canyon in a heartfelt effort to piss off as many fisherpeople as we could. There were a ton of mouth-breathers, as is the norm for opener, but our float path did not discriminate. We would paddle through casting lanes or pools, smile, and ask, "Any luck today?"

The weather was mostly cloudy, with wind and the occasional sprinkle. The fishing was decent, more so in the morning. Just above the "beach," FB found the home of a hog, though he was unable to land it after a few strikes. But, we will return, and we will claim the fish for Dear Leader.
