Caney Fork/ elk river below Tim’s ford

[Bobyote]

So I fished the caney about a week ago and had a few follows but got skunked- first time ever. I have t been in several years though and the last time I went biglefty20 and I wore them out... was I just having a bad day with the one generator running or is fishing there is good as it once was? Also curious about the elk if I dropped in a kayak below the damn do they have a pick up service like the caney does and how's the fishing??

We did a float on the Caney 2 weekends ago, only managed one Brown trout, and my buddy caught 2 brookies. It was hot that day so that's my excuse as to why the fishing was slow. Good day on the water anyways.

Nice brownie! Were they generating that day? Were you nymphing, streamer, dry flies?

Running 1 generator. Caught on a copper prince nymph, my buddy was using a rainbow colored rooster tail on spinning equipment.

Thanks for the info, was that a kayak or canoe you were in. I'm debating upon getting one or the other.

Although there have been some nice fish caught, the Caney has been slow all year and Im not sure why. Walleye fishing was good when they cut the flood gates off this Spring, but hit and miss since, and I dont know why.

Anybody do any good on the elk? South Holston- never fished either just wanting to get after some trout!
