Here in Ontario I fish a river that has a moderate current flow. I started using floats and fishing for walleye steelhead style. (seams and tailouts) But I had an inline planer board. The type that clips to your line. I started using that with crank baits from shore. You use the current to “troll”. You can fish as close to shore and as far from shore as you want. Less snags too! (Never been snagged using it.
Try it if there is enough current in the Miss.
