It has been a month since my last post mainly because the fishing on the Caney stayed pretty much the same. The fish were still hitting soft hackles and scud type nymphs. I went to the Madison River in W Montana the latter part of September with the Harston Bros. The fishing wasn't near as good as it was three years ago but it was a different time of year. We spent one day in the park hoping to catch a big brown going upstream but that didn't happen. But, as usual, I used it as a learning experience for the Caney. I have fished three times since getting back and have started using 20 and 22 size midges and emergers, which I haven't tried in the past. Also, I am letting my drifts stay drifting a little longer. I still need to have a more perpendicular casting motion, working on that. The numbers have decreased somewhat which makes me and others have to test our ability. That's fine with me, I think we were all getting a little complacent. Brett, my use to be next door neighbor is going to be here for a couple of days this week. I hope to use the River Hawk at least one time while he is here. I'll report how we do. Until next time, Pappy
