What can be said about Summer fishing on the Caney Fork? Summer brings less generation, midge hatches, canoe hatches, midges, did I already say midges, thunderstorms, rain and big fish.
On this trip we started on midges, then onto nymphs and as the day wears on we went to the top. About this time last year was when the midge hatches were at their biggest and following a thunderstorm those same hatches were even bigger. This year has followed suit and we are getting the fish as they are looking up. The generation is favorable and the fish are cooperative, and looking up. Now is one of the best times of the year for a trip.

Thanks Rach! We may have caught more, but the fog set in and we couldn't see the fly!
ReplyDeleteWe were pretty darn lucky in the month of July and hopefully that luck will continue into August.
