1 1/2 hours of fun

I went to the Caney on Tuesday the 23rd for about an hour and a half. The generation schedule would allow 4 more hours but the weather had different ideas.  I managed to catch 7 trout, 4 rainbows and 3 browns, but none of any size.  There were only two others in my area, mostly due to the threat of rain.  Ed, the trout magnet rep, was there and he probably caught close to 10 so 7 wasn't too bad.  The thunder and lightning started about 11:30 so we got off the river.  We had about 2 inches of rain overnight, the Great Falls reservoir  raised over 8 feet so that means Center Hill will rise probably 3 feet which also means no wading the Caney for at least 2 weeks maybe 3.  Luckily,  I can bass fish on Center Hill in the meantime.  Merry Christmas to everyone.  Until next time, Pappy.

Month Later

Over a month wait, I finally got back on the Caney for a two hour break in the generation.  I wasn't expecting much, just trying to see if the trout were still here.  A couple of trout magnet guys were in the part of the river that I wanted to try, they weren't doing much so after about an hour I moved down to where they were. I know both of these men so it wasn't bad at all . They had not caught more than 5 or 6 between them so I didn't feel too bad.  I ended up with 2 in the net and lost a couple of others.  I at least found out the fish still like the same flies as before, but after 5 weeks of constant generation, they were a little shy about going any distance for anything to eat.  If the rain stays away this week, the schedule may get better.  Let's hope so.  Until next time , Pappy.
