Nice fish! I am guessing Caney Fork Dam?

[lupanfreitag]

Yes caney fork dam
At dusk I had a hit every single cast
I missed as many as I caught

What was your best bait? Any browns?

[lupanfreitag]

It was a crankbait from Japan called an Elfin Cricket. It is about an inch long, clear with a metal strip inside and a small lip. It dives around 3 inches but if you crank extremely slow with rod tip up it runs just under the surface. It has always driven the trout at Caney wild. Unfortunately I only have one left. The rest have fallen prey to the bruiser Browns and Bows. Unfortunately they don't make this lure anymore. I know. I spent days in Japan visiting 10 bait shops scrounging for them.

I caught around 5 browns. Mostly rainbows and brookies. I lost a huge brown that I fought for about two minutes before it threw the lure.

Saturday was one of those once a year days. The fish would come in waves. Five fish nearly in a row, then nothing for 15 mins. Sudenly no matter where I casted, the fish were fighting over it.

The wind was on and off. When it was off, the trout could not resist the injured minnow on top.

The biggest bow came as soon as the lure hit the water. I didn't even have time to close the bail.

Soon after I lost the lure on another big fella'.

Spectacular.

Like these?

[lupanfreitag]

Yes but not that color. I have only had luck on clear reflect no others.

[lupanfreitag]

Once I lost the clear version I threw a black/white, red. Nothing. Not even a ripple. The dying minnow is key.

I'm as sad as anyone. If you do find some, I'll buy them all. I'll take out a loan!

I don't win... if for some strange reason you can get some from my help then you win.

Believe me I know what it's like to have a favorite bait up and discontinue. Rebel Deep Tiny Wee R's did that to me in 1994-1995 then the Deep Wee R did it the year prior to Rebel's Crank-R (which took its place) came out.

I'd gladly sell all the lures/gear I own to fund a big Deep Tiny Wee R in D9235 (brown craw/orange belly) purchase. :D

[lupanfreitag]

Yeah. Now when I find a lure that works I buy about 10 of them and store them in a cabinet.

I have attached the chart. With your pushing, I did find them in Japan. I found 10. I am going to ask my wife's sister to let me use her addresss and ship them there.

I might be back in business soon.

This last Saturday is the first time I have fished in months. It was transcendent.

I can't wait to go again. Damn the temps or snow. My lines shall be wet... and possibly frozen.

Glad you had a great time on your last trip. In my opinion, trout fishing is at its best when the snow is falling and cold. They always bite, your breath in the air and holding that colored up fall/winter trout against white snow is plain awesome.

Nice job on finding some more of those cranks.

I know you in the past you fished old hickory dam quite a bit. How about this year or last month or so have you been down there? Any reports...any luck.

What is the value of the Wee R (not tiny)?

[GO-OKFISHIN]

I wonder if it is the color more than the bait? That is our go to color on the Caney also in the Old Yozuri 3D Minnow, which also is discontinued.

I don't know what the average is probably $5-$10 on ebay. Nothing like Rapala's re-sale value on old discontinued baits. Hard to really say for sure because these days buyers would rather buy lots than one here one there. I am not even sure you'd get that $8.00 for a single unless it's a odd color.
