I went to the Caney yesterday enjoying great temperatures and blue bird skies. Not so sure about enjoying the blue bird skies. They were beautiful but not real conducive for a great day of fishing. I started off with soft hackles for awhile with no luck at all and then switched to a wooly bugger, also with no luck. About the time I reached the spot that I normally have decent luck, another fisherman had moved in front of me with a spinning rod and proceeded to catch an 18" brown. Not to say that I would have caught the same fish, but. The water finally receded to its normal level after the generation turned off. I move downstream to the opposite side of the river and changed to a grey scud. I began to get some hits and caught a few. Most were fairly small but I did have a 10" rainbow. I switched to a beige sowbug,#16 after about 6 catches and caught 3 more. I also had 6 more on but lost them after about 6 or 7 strips. This same thing has happened to me the last two times I have fished this side with the scud type hooks. Maybe they hook set has to be different, who knows. All in all a great day to fish and to be out in God's great outdoors. Until next time, Pappy.
