Read this and wondered if need to be worried regarding take over.

Stripers are extremely rare in Table Rock and even fewer would ever be spawning in the lake. There's nothing to worry about.

Couple came over after the floods. Do not think it's anything to worry about like bluebasser said. Even if there were a bunch, Bull Shoals seems to be doing fine...

There has been an occasional one caught in Table Rock since the 70s.

When they open the flood gates down here, we receive reports of Walleye, Largemouth and Spotted Bass in the Bull Shoals Tailwater and Walleye and Striped/Hybrid Striped Bass in the Norfork Lake tailwater. There are enough Walleye coming through on both tailwaters to support fishing/harvest for several months. We are also seeing more Paddlefish (especially middle-aged fish) in Bull Shoals Lake. Our only explanation for the increase in Paddlefish is they are coming from Table Rock.

The article says they catch them below Beaver so they are technically in Tablerock right?

The first one that I heard about was a long time ago.  A friend of mine caught it up in Flat Creek.

Yes, Jeff Fletcher caught it up in the river section below the Beaver dam.

Was pretty surprised to read that the guide had been around the TR Dam when they caught it. Was expecting it to be way up river by Beaver. Fish made a long journey down the White that's for sure. Can you imagine catching that on topwater in low conditions in the AM or PM thinking it was a black/brown? I know I'd have the rod in one hand and MDC on the phone in the other telling them to get me a certified scale to State Park Marina ASAP! They'd hang up on me though because I'd done that once before on a crankbait attached to a big flathead. False alarm!
