Ah the fishing was kind of slow. I caught four trout and about half a million creek shiners. The shiners do make the trout more enjoyable in a way - when you connect with an 8-inch trout after setting the hook on about a hundred two-inch shiners, the trout feels like a ten pounder by comparison. Of course, two of the trout were about 3 inches long themselves - disappointing in size, but also neat in a way because they don't stock them that small, which means Trammel must have gotten a tiny bit of successful natural reproduction recently. The other two trout were about 8 inches and probably stockers - the only decent sized trout I saw was about 15 inches and he tried to eat my indicator instead of the fly, so I never got a hook close to him. I only fished a few hours though. Trammel doesn't fish as well as the Caney when the Caney is good, but it's not far from home, and it's a passable alternative when all of the other trout water is blown out.
