There are no Big Browns on the Elk stay away. Lets destroy one river at a time please. Now back to the Caney Fork.

So bob, what makes you think the Caney is being destroyed? Granted, there are way to many people lining the banks every weekend, but most don't keep many fish and very few even target the trophies. In fact, I've never seen more fish in the Caney and the numbers of big fish continue to grow especially with the size limit set on browns. I wouldn't mind seeing a slot limit on rainbows and brookies to increase the number of trophies in the water.
I grew up in Lincold County and cut my teeth fishing on the Elk. I haven't fished it in some time but I know it still holds good numbers and size of both rainbow and brown trout. Just recently heard of a 26 inch brown coming out of the Elk which has peaked my interest. Might be time for this country boy to reacquaint him self with the Might Elk!
LC Archer,
I'll let you know how we do as soon as I have time to get down there.
RIK

Bob, you are a complete tool in every sense of the word. I don't bash members of TNDEER but since "BOB" is a dummy screen name for a normal member I have no problem with it.

Hmm let me see I’ve been fishing TN’s tailwaters for many years. I’ve seen em rise and fall. Caney is going to fall. Just look around at all the people now taking every large Trout they catch. What you see on here is a drop in the bucket to what is really being taken. But everyday on here it seems like a thread pops with a single fish or a stringer of 20” dead Trout. Then a guy named tubs sets out on a crusade to tell the whole web that Caney has big Trout and encourages the harvest of the fish caught. Then some asshat posts maps of the rivers hot spots and wants to see wall hangers. All of a sudden you can’t find a place to stand on the river. If you don’t think all the publicity and harvest is going to hurt the river as a big fish river then you have alot to learn. There are some other rivers which will remain nameless where people like Tubs and scrubs would be found naked and cold as stone in a sink hole if they put out the kind of info they have here.
But like I said lets keep it localized to the Caney cause there aren’t any big browns in the Elk.
BTW, Someone on here just suggested a stocker brown will be over 20” by spring. That’s some impressive growth rates how long have you studied these fish to learn that? You all obviously like to catch these fish so a word to the wise. Let them go or you’ll be catching dinks like the other fly fishermen.
Yea lure I’m the tool. Have another Bush….

Lets hope they are not being carried out faster then they are surviving but think about all the fish that HAVE been removed. Those fish are gone and have no chance of growing to 15,20 or heaven forbid 30 pounds. Those fish had learned how to survive and were destined to be REAL giant fish but instead were removed to feed egos and pot bellies. Look at what size and creel limits have done to crappie and Bass. Plenty of undersize fish, a few keepers, big fish are rare. Ever fished a zero limit Bass lake in FL? Stick Marsh, farm pond 13 come to mind and they are mind blowing places to fish.
The big fish on the elk are a different breed. They eat all the same but due to current flows those jerkbaits aren’t as effective. You gota learn a new game, develop more skills, evolve as an angler, to catch those fish. This is why most people don’t fish it,, thankfully.
I’m no guide, hopefully I’m a voice of reason.
