Caney Fork on Memorial Day
Finally the river was wadeable again so I came equipped with the flyrod and two spinning rods. I expected that place to be on fire since it hasn't been fished much in the past 3 or 4 weeks. Wrong. Only caught three trout, in addition to a largemouth and several small hybrids. Everyone and their mother was in the river that day, maybe that made the fish nervous. After generation I headed to the bank just below the dam to walk a while and fish for larger trout. I caught several pretty big skipjack on a 2.5" grub, pumpkin seed with a green tail. No large trout. Just letting everyone know how it was. Did anyone else venture out there on Monday?
