Rainy dreary day 6/10/12

Some day just aren't days for tout fishing. One of those days was today. Jerry who I work with has started going fishing with me at the Caney. He is a beginner fly fisherman I on the other had am strictly a spin fisherman. Another guy we work with named Matt wanted to go with us. We planed on leaving my house at 5am and driving the 45 minutes up to the Caney. It was a light sprinkle this morning and slightly chilly. We started below the damn and I caught a small brown right off the baton a black rooster tail with a gold spoon. Unfortunately that would be the last on only fish we caught there.

After about an hour of nothing we decided to go down HWY141 and try a new spot. After climbing back in the the cold waters again. We still were not getting any hits. After switching to several different lures I got a hit on a Joe's Fly. I pulled in a nice 11 inch brown that put up a great fight. Again that was the only fish we caught in that spot.

We packed up and left for Happy Valley before we headed home for the day. After a stop at the Big rock Market to Fill our "fishing gas tanks" and to look at some new flies for Jerry (and a few more Joe's Flies for me). We made it to Happy Valley. After fishing for a hour none of us was getting anything. I was wading back to the shore and getting ready to leave when Matt said "I got one" I gave him the thumbs up as he pulled in a small brown. Then preceded to catch two more with in 5 minutes. We had to go ahead and leave right after that so Jerry could get to his sons birthday party. As we were walking up the boat ramp I told Matt not to judge the Caney on this one day of fishing that it is a lot better. His answer was "I caught tree trout...Im hooked now"
