Caney Fork Personal best
 

Since we finally had a decent generation schedule for the yak, I fished the Caney pretty hard for 3 days. I didn't catch a ton of fish, but i caught some decent onces! I had a total of 5 browns over the trips and 2 walleyes. Three of the browns were 16-18", then had a nice 22" hookjaw and also had a 23" FATTIE! It isn't my longest brown from the Caney, but by far the heaviest!

The walleyes were 15" and 21". Thought about Jimmy and Merv as I slipped the 21" eye back to fight another day:D

Caught several stocker brooks and browns before dark. Lost a few nice browns due to them jumping and missed a few other nice smacks also.

I am really getting addicted to these nice browns;)

For those that I got to fish with this weekend! I had a blast, lets do it again soon!

I'm going this weekend and I can't wait, I miss that water!! Awesome bunch of fish you caught man, looks like you had a great time. I really hope they keep that 250 cfs coming through the sluice up through the weekend for me.

Now if I could only get the people from Caney River Runners to respond to my email about booking a cabin for a night...

Those are some nice fish. What are you throwing to catch them and is that a Jackson Kayak Coosa?

Nice job Mike.

I am really hoping to get on that water this weekend.

Thanks! Its a Jackson Big Tuna....throwing jerkbaits.

Awesome fish Mike, I'd love to have seen what that river was producing 6-8 years ago.

Thanks! I would also like to see that!

Nice fish Mike!




Regards

I remember. Epic is my best description. I never threw jerkbaits, though. I did put a lot of fish on my 7 and 8 wt fly rods...ah, the good ol' days.

I would like to have had the regs now back then but that is just down right being greedy.

Awesome fish Mike!

And thanks for at least giving me a thought as you released that 21 inch walleye!

Very nice catches...what did that fat brown weigh in at? Man it was a chunk!

Thanks! I never did weigh it, couldnt tell you!

Man, that's a good catch. I have never been on the Caney at night but it sure seems to have been productive. I certainly like the use of the jerkbaits and that fluke tied on in that one pic is the perfect size and color. Nice job. Thanks for the report.

Good for you, man! Great fish.

You MUST give it a shot! That's the time when those big browns feed. Sure they can be caught in the daytime too but it's not near as likely.

Nice catches; those are some healthy looking fish!

Man Mike that brown sure is a helluva of fish!!! congrats on such a catch, them other browns are too!! oh and BTW next time you catch a keeper Walleye include me in your thoughts along with Jimmy and Merv, I'm right up their alley!! sure wish I could catch them like that to be released on lake Crisco :D!!!

Wow Mike! What a blast you had!
That is a very nice trout!!!

Man nice fish!!
