Thursday, April 28, fishing may be started to get hot

 I got to the Caney today around 230 in the afternoon and fish above the steps where no one else was. There were only three or four people left because the generation had been off since 7 o'clock this morning. So I have started where no one else was and that was the spot to be, I caught13 within a couple of hours most of them were anywhere from 10 to 13 inches and  all were  rainbows.  Before the generation started, I was wanting to try happy hollow since I hadn't  finished there since last fall.  I am sure glad that I did, the best hour and a half that I have ever had there.on the light side of an estimate, I caught 30 fish and maybe closer to 40 and they were 99% small browns and a couple of decent size rainbows.  They were all over the place, if I was standing in 3 feet of water I could see them swimming by.  I don't know if they had just stocked in that area  but the river was full of them.  Hopefully I will get a chance to go back sometime next week and see if they are still there, until then, Pappy.

2 Beautiful Days

this report is for April 17 and April 18. Sunday afternoon between worship services I waded the Caney for a couple of hours and caught six nice sized trout. Three rainbows were 12 to 14 inches long and one brown 16 1/2.  That was the best day I have had and several trips, then I went out this morning Monday and had another decent day.  That was the best day I have had and several trips, then I went out this morning Monday and had another decent day  I finished again for a couple of hours and caught three nice size rainbows and one small brown.  Yesterday, it same like white with yellow head was the color and this morning that didn't work until after the sun came up good and I added a little flash and that seem to do the trick   It is still a little slow overall the water is low and the other guys out there aren't catching very many fish either, but it can only get better.    Until next time, Pappy.

Bang the drums slowly

 Yes, I know this is a weird title for a fly fishing blog but the Caney was loaded with drum yesterday, Friday, April 15 2016 .The weather was beautiful all day I got in the water at about 230 and the river was still flowing a foot or so high.   There was only one other fly fisherman in the water and we only had maybe one hit Each while we were there.   I guess it is still a little early in the spring for the fishing to really turn on, but I'm really looking forward to that time. So far it has been real slow this year.   So until next time, Pappy.
