Lower river is fishing really slow. Upper river has lots of fish but the vast majority are stockers. Occasionally a nice fish pops up but most are in the 11-12 inch range. Plenty to keep you busy but you have to work a bit harder for the big ones than two years ago.

I was going to suggest stones throw adventures but it looks like their forum is down.

Maybe the Tuba wonder can enlighten you.

Don't you have some tuna to chase somewhere? :whistle:

What does that have to do with trout on the Caney? I still talk to guys weekly who fish there. They don't have much good to report.

And I am after sailfish and marlin tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Yeah? What does the Stone's Throw Adventures Forum have to do with trout on the Caney? Just yanking your chain, Scrubs.

Probably not, I trained him that esq. season is open year round with no limit.

 

[B.D.]

Mmm hmm. I wish they'd open a season on doctors, but they have to maintain a consumption advisory because they're sooooo full of sh*t.

I give it a 4.5 I think you got more in you than that.....

So how were the sailfish and marlin? Those aren't cheap charters - I hope you came back with some pics.

The fishing was dead. Water looked great, bait was around and couldn't troll up a tuna. I went on a friend's boat, cost me a block of chum and some ice. Need some cold fronts to move through and push the sails in close.....

I have done a lot of those billfish trips where the water looked great, the weather looked great, the bait was everywhere, and no sails. Even down in Costa Rica I clobbered the big roosterfish, but the sailfish didn't cooperate (in what's supposed to be the best sailfish water since sliced bread). I was plenty content with the roosters though.

roosters are one of my dream fish.

They do not disappoint. I got one that was around 80 lbs. last time I was in Costa Rica. That was more of a workout than I had bargained for, especially in that hot Central American sun.
