Mind telling what lures or bait you were using? Thanks!

I put in at the dam and went down to the first bluff on the right. I then paddled back up. I never had to get out anywhere. I have fished the Caney enough to kind of know where it is deep enough to float....plus you could see very well today...the water was as gin clear as I have ever seen it. The Coosa....or any other kayak I guess......is great for that. I saw a couple of canoes flip today as they hit a shoal and the canoe got sideways. Those folks were same age as me...early 60's and I know that was no fun for them...the cold water. There is some current as you get to the handicap fishing pier that the Boy Scouts made. Plus there is current once you get past the first big bend at Lancaster. As most on the forum know my lure of choice is the Trout Magnet. It is a 1/64 ounce jig. On the Caney the Magnet in Bison color...black and gold....has always produced for me...but black is good also. I was told today that once you get around the bend and head toward Happy Hollow the fishing gets much better. I was really surprised to not catch any Bows up there on that stretch of river today. Hope that helps you out.
