Caney 8/16
Went to the Caney to try out a new lure.I was there to catch big trout and the first cast I thought I had one.Turned out to be a stripe about 15" long.The very next cast I almost got the rod jerked out of my hand and with that I knew I had one of those big browns.No way,when it got close ,another stripe but this one would not hardly go in the net.Finally after another hour of fishing I was able to catch a brown that was around 20".
I was fishing near dam and when they started to gen,there were around 5 or 6 kayaks waiting to fish "the pond".Someone on loudspeaker advised those folks to move down river.The sleuce came on and it was blowing out a lot of water.
After this took a nap and went back to river and fished a few hours and had a good day catching 52,mostly small, trout.That included three gorgeous hard fighting brooks.
The colors I used were white and pink TM's under the float.If I did not have a bad eye I should have had another 25 to 30.
Very thankful to fish the Caney.I will say that the river is not as good as it has been.
