The Return of the Fruit Boot


Date: June 1, 2008
Location: Club
Air temp: 70s
Water temp: ?
Hatches: ?
Fish landed: skank


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

Xan
Booter


After missing the early season while in Asia, an aborted first trip, and a few additional weekends out of town, Fruit Booter made his triumphant return to the hallowed waters of the Curd. We headed to the Club to hit the evening hatch, and Booter got his groove back post haste. At the run by the car, he landed his first fish of 2008.

We made our way up to the great pool, and pow-pow-pounded the hole with streamers, but couldn't stir a fish. Booter fished the run just up from the pool, and continued to catch fish. He switched to his nemesis, the dry fly (a caddis, which I loaned him), and caught a few more. Later, true to form, he pulled a Booter and fished a run I had been fishing, while I was sorting out a tangle. At least this time he didn't catch a fish there. It's good to have that bastard back.
