I have done really well in the river fly fishing and with Trout Magnets.
It fishes a lot differently than the Caney almost completely different. The Obey can go from traditional downstream flow to no current to backwards flow all the way to the Dam depending on what Dale Hollow, Cordell Hull and Wolf Creek are generating.
The trout in there relate to cover like bass and don't really act like trout. It's almost like fishing a lake. You'll want to fish directly to timber, rocks, ledges, creek mouths and such. It gets stocked weekly 52 weeks a year plus there are some big holdovers in brooks and browns. Haven't seen many really big bows but there 6+lb browns in there and over 15" brooks.
You can catch quite a bit of fish on low water pool hopping downstream but on 1 gen it gets a lot better.
