I have had relative luck the times ive tries streamers down there on normal water level nights. I would think the high water would be prime time .... 

You would think. You would also be wrong. I mean I've caught them, don't get me wrong, but it isn't worth the effort. I can out-catch a streamer 10 to 1 with a jerkbait in the same stretch of water. I don't get it.

Go do it. Maybe I just suck. It's fun to commit to it! But the difference between the White and Taney is crazy. Recently did it in March. Four hours throwing articulated streamers on taney..one fish and one follow. On the White? 7 landed with three misses. I mean what gives???? It's the same dang river. Different mood of the fish I suppose. I tied a bunch of butt monkeys, double deceivers, zoo cougars, and boogeymen and caught the Taney fish on them. That's the fun of it for me at this point, catching them on your own flies.

This is why you make way more $$$ than me in the IT field. I'm the slacker always off chasing critters and fish instead of working. 😁

I'm still getting out here and there to fish,  just not as much as I'd like.

But yeah I'm making my last big push to finish getting setup to where I can actually find a job I enjoy vs being a slave to the $...

I'm down. I am a month into a new job so after turkey season I will be pretty much stuck to weekends. Just shoot me a message here and we can coordinate something.
