I've been doing good with several patterns.
Bluegill/Redears-Black Foam Crickets, Black/Yellow Chernobyle Ants, Club Sandwich, Peacock Soft-Hackles
Trout-Red and White Clousers, Olive Woolly Buggers
LG Bass-Puglisi Bluegill, OD and White Clousers
SM Bass-Brown/Orange Clousers, OD Woolly Buggers
Striped Bass/Hybrids/White/Yellow Bass-Puglisi Shad, OD and White Clousers
Crappie-small Puglisi Minnows, small Chartreuse and White Clousers.
Carp-Freshwater Gotcha in pink, or brown, Clouser Swimming Nympth.
Catfish-A treble hook with Danny Kings Punch Bait on it. Below the tailraces, I just cast upstream and let it drift until it takes off in a catfishes mouth. If no takers after a 40 yard drift, I just recast back up stream. DK Punchbait stays on the hook until you remove it. I use my 10 wt with a Shooting Taper, and cast right up into the gates if possible. Drifting it through eddies works good, too.
