Not a bad work day

I had set my alarm for 4:30 am this morning, Tuesday, to be at the Caney at 6:30.  I looked at the overnight weather and decided not to go due to the water probably being muddy.  At 8 I decided to go to Silver Point to cut my step dad's lot at his camp.  I carried my 4 wt. just in case I could fish a while.  When I got to the Caney only the water closest to the bank was muddy so I tried my luck for an  hour or so below the dam.  I had my first rainbow within the first ten minutes and my second within the next 5 minutes.  I ended up with 7 browns and rainbow all about 9 to 12 inches.  The generation started so I left and went to Happy Hollow to see how the water was there.  I was able to fish there for an hour or so using a light colored soft hackle on my sinking tip line.  The water was as clear here as it was below the dam.  I had my best day in a long time at Happy with a total of 10 more fish, including 1 brookie.  That was the end of my fun for the day as I spent the next 2 hours weed eating.  The fish catching did make the weed eating a little more palatable, though.  Until next time,  Pappy.

  1. A good day anyway you look at it even with the weed eating in there.
