Caney Fork hints/tips

[BlueRaiderFan]

"Do these fish need to eat? I mean, seriously. Skunked again. I went a mile up the trail head at Elkmont like everyone said and nothing. After four hours of fishing, I saw two trout and caught none. I either didn't go far enough or I just can't fish. I hate trout."

For a minute there I thought we were back in the "I Hate the Smokies" thread...

First you find the gear, then you buy the gear, then you take it to the mountains, then you be very, very, sneaky and you catch fish. But obviously, if you can't find the gear...

Oh yeah? Well:

Is the Cortland better? I own a Cortland rod and I'm not too impressed with it, I've heard a lot of good things about TFO though.

And what flies should my fly box contain multiples of for the Caney? These, and what others?

Zebra midges
BHPTs
Scuds
Wooly buggers
EHCs

Did yuo ever end up getting and midges, 'tails, or scuds? When are you planning on going next? Might find some help on the river this weekend.

As of current I have two BH black zebra midges, one BH chocolate midge, and a regular cream midge. I've got 3 BHPTs I think all in copper, and an olive and tan scud.

Still using the auto reel?

I won't be going this weekend, my weekend is packed. I usually walk down a bit from the stairs they just built. And yes I'm still using the auto reel, for now.

Still looking for more tips and pointers on how to fish the Caney properly.
