[QUOTE="gil1, post: 805432, member: 4144"] What's the point of stocking rainbows? They don't grow as big as browns and they compete with browns for food, and I don't like it. Just trying to make a ridiculous point about trout equality. They are all just stockers tossed in a ditch for people to "unstock" them. I can't think of a good reason why you would like brookies less than rainbows or browns. The brookies are just generally feistier, easier to catch, and prettier, all reasons why I like them. They are all about the same to me, but since I'm not used to catching them, it's a little like adding salt to an already good meal. I am not a Caney disciple - I just live closer to the Caney than the Clinch. According to even the E TN folks who are bypassing the Clinch to travel down to fish the Caney, the Caney has been fishing much better than the Clinch (bigger and more fish). I would imagine that right now, the Caney does grow fish better than the Clinch. The formula is always water quality and harvest. 2 years ago, that was not the case. And I'm guessing that 2 years from now, the holdover Caney fish will mostly have been killed by overharvesting, the Clinch will have overcome it's issues, and the tides will have reversed again. From reports on both rivers, it's my opinion that that reversal is happening as we speak. The Caney is getting depleted and the Clinch is bouncing back. It seems to be cyclical like that. [/QUOTE]
