The rains subsided overnight so I thought I would try the Caney for my second day in a row, which hasn't happened in a very long time. I got to the water at 7:30 at the tail end of a slight drizzle which continued off and on for the next couple of hours. The water that was half clear yesterday was completely muddy today, in the run that I fished yesterday. I tried two or three different flies and only caught one small rainbow, this was over an hour and a half time period. I trudged back, 30 minutes worth, to where I saw some clear water earlier. I had about 2 hours left before the generation started. I tied on my light colored soft hackle that I had rebuilt from yesterday and began to cast. I caught two small browns pretty quick and then preceded to have the next 9 bites to get off after a couple or three strip retrieves. I then changed to a #20 zebra midge and started to catch and get to the net 10 more within about 45 minutes. I changed to a dry fly on my sinking tip line and was still able to catch 6 more, combination of browns and rainbows. By this time, I was about wore out from fishing and standing and walking, I was glad to hear the horn go off at the dam to let us know that in 15 minutes we better get out of the river or find a tall tree to climb for the next 12 hours. This was another great day to be alive and to enjoy it fishing. By the way, Mark if you read this I saw David Knapp today and told him you said Hi; he was impressed with the fly info from you a couple of years ago. Until next time, Pappy TIME FOR A REBUILD
