Striper fishing should find a rhythm again now that the river has dropped from a rise of 4,500 cfs to 80,000 cfs, and is now back down to 9000 cfs and still dropping. Clarity is an issue depending on where you fish and which tributaries are upstream. Winter striper fishing is not for the faint of heart; it requires a lot of casting with large flies, but the rewards can be worth it.
