    Don’t think so.

    That’s great to hear! Thanks for this. I am excited to catch one. I fished NFotWR late last summer thinking I was going for trout. I got a bite & that fish ran like no trout I’ve ever hooked. Unfortunately my fly line was wrapped around my reel, so I broke off. Did some research after & learned about the striper population. Personally I think the prospect of catching 20+in stripers in such a beautiful river is much more exciting than catching little rainbow trout.

    I floated Beaver about 10 days ago, whatever day they shut the gates off. Just below the dam, straight across from the dam — I saw a 30+ fish about 12ft deep. He turned toward my streamer & my heart rate spiked. Unfortunately he did not eat. Not sure if it was a striper or a brown. I’m inclined to say striper.

    Didn’t end up making it out there, unfortunately. Buddy had his work schedule mixed up.

    Buddy and I are going out tomorrow. Is there a particular section we will have better luck getting on stripers right about now? I know they start running up around Memorial Day. So I’m thinking lower. But I don’t know how fast they move up.

    I’ve listened to podcasts with Jason McReynolds, a guide on the South Holston tailwater in East Tennessee known for catching 30in+ browns regularly, plus huge stripers. He says he focuses on the last mile of trout water above the “warm water line”, where the cold tailwater meets the warmer lake water. Says this is where the most baitfish are, and thus also the big browns & stripers. Does Taneycomo have a pretty distinct “warm water line” like this? On the Soho, Jason says the line moves around within a mile stretch depending on generation.
