Stripers on the Lower Illinois

[budman]

I have floated the Lower Illinois several times in my kayak from the dam area to Gore Landing to trout fish. Several times as we got closer to Gore Landing we would have nice size Stripers come up to a trout we would have on a line. I would like to target some Stripers with my fly rod. Has anyone every done this and willing to give me some ideas. I'm sure the closer one gets to the channel the better chances you have, throw some bigger streamers and at least and 8 weight rod. What time of year and what time of day is best and any part of the river better than others.
