Are you speaking in general or in reference to the thread being Caney.

The Caney on low water the furthest up I have ever heard of one caught on low water was Lancaster area. On how long once generation comes... your guess is as good as mine. It's not guaranteed they will be there.

Those fish can cover a huge amount of water. There used to be a study somewhere of ones tagged on Percy that would travel from the Old Hickory Cove area down by the Dam up to the forks of the Stones with regularity. I forget the time frame they did it in but it was impressive.
