I guess I'll add a little to my own question.
I've fished still water for many years, but almost nothing in moving water.
Still water fishing has a lot of ups and downs as to when the fish might be biting. Usually though, if you are persistent, you can catch something. But not always. Still water can change almost instantly from nothing for hours to hardly being able to keep them out of the boat.
As I mentioned a forest preserve person once told me that stream fishing is generally more consistent than still water fishing. In the past week I've watched some fly fishing video's and a couple of people mentioned basically the same thing. One did say the morning and evening is generally the best, but moving water fish are often active throughout the day.
