Cataract has been pretty phenomenal largemouth are feeding on crawfish in shallow rocks, wind is your friend in this situation since crawfish will be churned off the bottom and that is a dinner bell for the bass. spinner baits, square bill crankbaits, chatter baits and anything else you can effectively fish around rip rap are what you need to throw. large bluegill and crappie also seem to be feeding on craws around shallow structure. z man baby ballers and 6thsense Pecos underspin's have been effective for me. catfish are consistently being caught on chicken liver, gizzards, hearts etc... punch bait under a bobber is still an effective way to target them around timber or rocks. tiger trout and rainbows are being caught on smaller streamers, olive semi seals, or mini buggers are great to imitate craws, i seemed to have better luck dragging my streamers more so than a consistent strip.
