I fly fished the Caney on Saturday and Sunday (my wife is not thrilled with me).
On Saturday the water was clear. I probably landed about 25 trout, all on zebra midges. I saw a few massive rainbows and they were not interested in feeding (water was low).
Yesterday was a lot tougher. The water at Happy Hollow was muddy from the recent rain and the trout ignored all the midges I presented to them However, once I switched to a black wooley bugger, the game was on. When they cooled off on that, I switched to an olive bugger and it was back on. They were biting really softly -- often I barely felt a little pressure and then set the hook.
Great day. Such a bummer to have to head home...but I do enjoy being married.
