Would zone two be the place to throw streamers?

Yes, and some of the wooly buggers you fished at taneycomo. these will fish good in the deeper areas. If you find some fast and shallow water, well, you know the routine there.

For stripping flies there I've had my best luck with Gold head olive wooly buggers.  For whatever reason they outfish the other patterns for me.  Zone 2 is a great area just past the bluff wall as the water starts to speed up,  Also in the faster water below the dam area.  Lots of spots up in zone 1 too, you know how to read the water should be able to find lots of spots pretty easily.

I went down Friday, mainly used worms in the live bait zone with kiddos.  Managed to get 30 min or so in zone 2 caught 5 or so on a white pj jig.  Water is up but very fishable.  My daughter just decided to let her hair go nuts this day.

Nice day with the kiddos there!  Looks like you guys had a blast.  Awesome memories made.

Well we caught fish. . . Didnt set any record on numbers but we dis catch a few. Had some on midge early in morning before i picked up dad and one good take on streamer. Picked up dad and he wanted to throw night crawlers.  So that's what we did.  Started down by the  niangua and dad caught two largies and aome goggle eye right off the bat.  Then he caught a rainbow then notjing for two hours so we moved to Suzy hole . He caught two big sucker and three trout i caught  six trout and broke off two really nice ones . One was about six pounds id say and the other about four.  Using light line cost me this time.

Yeah four pound line two pound leader. Also bad position in reference to the current.  They both ran up then turned and shot down into heavy current where i could not wade.
