I tried to post this yesterday, Saturday, but I deleted it accidentally and didn't repost.  Anyhow, I spent 3 hours or so on the Caney Friday and did ok.  I caught a total of 8, all rainbows.  Three were over 12 inches and were fat.  I used a variety of flies including, but not limited to olive wooly buggers, BH Pheasant Tail, various midges, scuds and sowbugs.  In one twenty yard stretch, I lost 4 fish in a row.  I checked my scud and realized that I had too much body that had the hook almost covered.  After changing to another, I caught 2 of those again.  Hopefully, the generation schedule will be more condusive to fishing over the next two weeks.  Until next time,  Pappy

I took advantage of the lack of generation today on the Caney to fish for 3 or 4 hours,  The air was chilly and very cloudy but the weatherman said that would change around noon.  He didn't say where, because it didn't clear up until maybe 3 o'clock and never did warm up.  As I was about to go down the path to the steps my Trout Magnet friend Ed drove up so I waited for him to get his stuff ready and we headed to the river together.  The water was still about a foot or so high but that was fine with me.  I got to my spot with a wooly bugger with some red flash tied on.  I had a fish on in about 10 minutes, a decent size brown, 13".  I tried to take a picture but couldn't get my phone to work.  I was hoping that wasn't my only fish for the day.  A few minutes later after I had tied on a green worm, I had a decent sized rainbow.  I changed flies again to a bright green sow bug to see if the bright green was the color.  With in a few cast I had another brown on.  This all happened in a thirty yard stretch and about 30 minutes.  For the next 40 minutes I tried a beaded zebra midge, a sparking white I don't know what, and a darker wooly bugger.  I had some hits but none to the net.  I moved on downstream and went back through my wooly bugger along with a beaded pheasant tail nymph.  I ended the day with 7 in the net and 6 that didn't make it that far.  Not a bad day for me.                     My friend Ed had his usual good day with his spinning rod and trout magnets.  He caught a 20"brown that he almost didn't land and three or four more that were close to that size.  Maybe some day I'll try it.  But not on the Caney.  Until next time,  Pappy.
