Drifting Scuds from the Dam to Fall Creek

Lake Taneycomo has had non-stop generation for months and on top of that we've had at least 5,000 cfs of water over the spill gates for weeks so our bug population has exploded! Midges and scuds are our trout's main source of food for the most part so we're taking advantage of that.
Drifting large scud patterns are the way to fish Taneycomo right now, at least the upper 4 miles of the lake. This video basically shows how simple it is to do and how well it works.
Here's a video showing how to rig 2 scuds for drifting.

Hi Phil, I have a Hobie Pro-Angler 14 foot kayak (pedal power). Is it possible to put in downstream and paddle upstream and drift down in such a kayak, or is the current usually too strong to do that?

It really depends on how much water it’s running but even if they’re running quite a bit you can paddle up close to the inside bank and not find strong current. So yes it’s possible
