The Cadet Fly Fishing Club was all in to hook, line and sink Navy as it participated in the second annual Army-Navy Flyfishing Competition on the South Branch of the Raritan River in New Jersey in early November.
Caitlin Blevins, Brady Foisy, Kelly Kruger and Colton Snodgrass made up the victorious team.
Morning preliminary fishing was to determine which two would fish the afternoon final “Starˮ match.
With all the caught fish, Kruger and Foisy advanced. Prelim totals ended with Army 159ˮ to Navy 119.ˮ
Last year, Kruger, the only returning contestant, and Matt Donze (USMA ’21) had to catch multiple fish in the final 15 minutes to come from behind.
No such drama this year, in the afternoon final, Kruger caught five fish in the first 30 minutes of the 120-minute final to put up a lead that Navy could never catch.
Foisy also caught multiple fish in the final. The final score was Army 88ˮ to Navy 40.ˮ
Kruger had the overall individual most inches caught.
