Thread: Lilly or Cain?

Lilly was wayy down 2 days ago and about 85% full this morning from rain water.

Thanks guys I am going to check Lilly or Cain out here shortly and save Blackwell for another day.

In a kayak it is never too low. May be too clear at times but not now.

Thanks

Don`t know much about lilly or cain slough but Blackwell can be got to in two different ways one is to go to the mouth of Cotaco creek and go downstream and cross the river and look for the river marker on the north bank of the tennessee river blackwells swamp is behind that marker or you can go to county line road in madison and take it cross Swancott rd and travel about 1.5 miles to the road to the left that will take to the refuge road which will go completely around blackwell swamp have fished it quite a lot in my younger days and caught some nice bass and tore the crappie up several times on flyrod (believe it or not)

Thanks guys I have been out in Cain with my canoe when I did a lot of dragging getting out to the main body, but I did not know anything about Cain, followed some guys back out that were in a little boat and did not drag at all. Slabby I will have to ride over and check out Blackwell one day after work or possibly slip out a little early. I saw a video that another member on here posted that looked interesting. Never been fishing in a swamp.

It`s nice over there but watch out for the gators
