Wooly buggers are good black, brown or olive; rubber legged dragons are a prime fly there in north central Georgia. I don't target bass or catfish but have caught a good many on the above and on a bream killer. I fish all of these under a top water. A friend who has been invited to fish for smallmouth in Kentucky ask me what I would recommend, I tied him some frog topwater patterns, clousers and muddler minnows.
