Good day on the Caney.
Headed out for the Caney this morning. Stopped by Big Rock Deli to see what the fishing report was...was told I probably would be catching Brooks. Put the kayak in at the dam and headed up to the waterfall on the left in the pond. I have never been there and failed to catch Gills and Crappie...but today nothing. My heart sank. I thought "Oh man today is not going to be good". Paddled over to the river where the generator output is. Started catching Brookies. Now these trout would have made a good snack for that trout they just caught out on the White River.....but I was as usual using 2# test line and 2# test fluorocarbon leader with an UL 6' 6" rod. Caught over 100 of these today. All of them were probably same year class...about 10 to 11 inches. Only took a few pics as they were all same size and no need to stress out too many fish. It was hot today. I caught about 20 at location in the pic. I then moved down river and would stop at a riffle as it dumped into a 2 to 3 foot pool of water...dropped my drag chain and started catching another 15 or 20 and kept moving down river. Kayak...drag chain.....performed flawlessly. I would just sit there.....facing downstream and catch a fish on almost every cast..and in total comfort...LOL. Went down to first bluff on right in deep water hoping to get some big Bows and or Browns.....but no doing. Stopped back in at Big Rock to get something to eat and cool off.....and give fishing report. Joel is selling those Coosas like they are hotcakes...LOL. All the fish were small but it was a great day.
Regards
