Night trip

[Devan S.]

I'm sure the Taney fish are spill overs from TR, think about all the times the gates have been open the last 5 years. Now its like 920+ and you get spillway. Happening much more often than historically(think about all the smallies, whites, shad, ect)

TR always has had a sizeable population. Beaver has a good population too but the striper really fills the "other" fish niche over there.  I think the bulk of increase can be attributed to social media.

Guides have a real benefit to post on facebook. Historically the Walleye thing has been fairly secretive. You may tell people you caught them but your not gonna tell where.....even if they know where you fish. As long as I have been alive there have been guides up the white on TR fishing for walleye. These guides operated by word of mouth and weren't blasting on social media and still aren't. Now with the slide of my thumb I can see guides posting to multiple facebook groups with pictures of baits and locations clearly in their photos. The unfortunate part of all this is when people are paying 2-400 bucks for a trip they are keeping every fish over 18". Walleye just don't have the stigma of CnR that Bass do.
