[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 289881, member: 324"] In the river in general, and definitely in the tailrace, we pick up a lot of our fish drifting with the current. If we trolled downstream, I feel we'd miss fish by going by them too fast. I think it's no secret that the fish aim their bodies "upstream" or "up-current". It seems then, that drifting with the current makes the most sense. However, in the fast water at the race, and south in the slower water, trolling (pulling stick-baits or slow-death rigs) up stream seems to work. I guess, even while we're moving through the water quickly, we are barely moving upstream. A fish has plenty of time to strike (or say "meh"). [/QUOTE]
