Brookies all day long.

Had a great day on the Caney Fork River. At the end of 6 hours of fishing my buddy Larry and I caught well over 200 brook trout....many at the 13 inch mark. Evidence of a shad kill is going on. Water temps were 44 degrees......which is cold for the Caney. Water output was 8,140 CFS. My rod today was the Tict Ice Cube Rockin’ Drift 6’ 9” Mebaru UL. Reel was a Daiwa Certate 2004CH spooled with SOS 2# test line.....had a 2 foot section of 2# test Phantom fluorocarbon leader. I used the 4mm tungsten Boogie Ball jig head which has a # 10 hook. We used a Bison.....Purple Redemption.......and Millie colored Trout Magnet today. The Millie caught most of the fish. Method of catching was “Twitching”. Many were hitting it on the fall. The Brookies have been eating well....and yes they were “Diggin”! It was another beautiful day. Life is good!

Regards

They’ll make it fine if those 50 pound stripers don’t eat them all....LOL. With all the rain we are getting the generators will be going nonstop for weeks......and the stripers will be up there thick as thieves. If the water doesn’t get muddy coming in from the lake....but I am sure it will......I’ll be back up there.

Used to fish for them in a small beaver pond up behind Lakeside, Montana. Lot of them and a wall hanger was 8"! Lot of fun though and great eating.
