Caney Fork River Report 9-16-11
Went to the Caney for a little while this morning, fished from 5:30-7:15am at Happy Hollow. Managed to catch my first whopper Rainbow(whopper for me anyway), it measured just over 23" long. Man what an adrenaline rush it is to catch one like that! I also caught one 16" and a few stockers(one brown). All fish where caught on light spinning tackle, I was throwing an Bass Pro XPS Brown Trout shallow diving crank bait. Not too bad for just under 2 hours of fishing. All fish were released.
All of this being said, the two biggest trout where caught in the very first 20 minutes of the morning when it was still mostly dark outside. I have heard of people night fishing the Caney for trout and I was wondering if this is the best time for catching the bigger trout. I have heard people mention Hells Bend, and catching big trout at night.
Can some of you Caney Fork River Experts please point me in the right direction???
