Sat. 4/25;15

There was a 4 hour window to wade this morning so I took advantage of it along with 4 or 5 other fisherman.  Again, after 5 days generation, it took me a while to find the right fly for the right spot.I caught 4 in the first hour or so in the first 30 yards of wading the river.  I then moved quickly from their  through the next 30 yards until a found a run that  held bigger fish last year, the bigger fish were still here, I think waiting for stuff to fall out of the trees.  This was about a 40 yard stretch, I spent the rest of my time wading here and ended up with a total of 22, about the same amount of browns as rainbows, no brookies.  The rainbows overall were larger than the browns.  That's all I have for now, maybe    May 2 Saturday I'll be back on the water.  Until then, Pappy.

Nice Saturday morning 4/19/15

  I got a phone call Friday night from my original fishing buddy, Wayne, wanting to meet me early Saturday morning at the Caney since the generation was cut off until 9 a m.  We met in the parking lot and got in the river close to 6:30.  Wayne found his spot and I waded to my area and started throwing my red headed green nymph, after a few casts I was getting hits but couldn't get the hook set I needed.  I then went to another nymph but with a Gamagatsu hook.  What a difference!  After about 2 hours I had netted 32 trout with only 2 or 3 misses.  I did change flies but stuck with the Gama hooks.  My best was a 15' Rainbow and a Brown that was just a little bit shorter.  Wayne also had a good morning catching close to 30.  We use the same technique so that wasn't a surprise.   
Now I have to load up on some more hooks and wait on a generation schedule that is conducive to wading.  Until next time, Pappy.

April 7

This post is for April 7.  The weather wasn't very promising, cloudy skies with rain in the forecast.  There was a two hour window to wade between generations and since I only live 20 minutes to the Caney I decided to take a chance on not getting in the storm.  As I figured, there was no one else at the River so I could roam as much as I  wanted to.  It took a few minutes to catch anything, even though they were rising some.  Midges weren't working, BHPT not working, Woolly Bugger not working so I finally tried a fly that has no name to no one but me.  BAM, that's what they were waiting for.  Over the next 30 minutes, I caught 6 nice rainbows and 1 17" Brown, plus a few that I lost as soon as I started stripping. So not a bad day, the rains eventually came later so thanks to all of you that did not visit the Caney today.  Until next time, Pappy
