Every time I go there it gets all blurry...LOL Sorry I am out of line. Any live bait should work. :confused2:

I just fish the upper and lower falls like any place else. you can start with your faorite bait worms,minnows,cut bait,stink, dip, or what ever. I have never had a lot of luck around the falls but have seen some nice catchs come from there.

I;m 17 years old only been there about five times ,but the first time i went there my buddies pole shot off into the water just below the lower falls.Ever since then i have been tring to catch mobey dick. lol but anyway i'd like to chat sometime about your experiences at cataract falls

thanx,
JR :big_smile:

Cataract yields huge cats, but none with my name on it. I'd like to fish the lower falls more often. If I get out there in the near future, maybe Labor Day weekend, I'll post a report.

Me, my son, and TBischof fished there last Sunday night. Used gills, shad, and catalpa worms. Tim caught two channels...the biggest was 8 1/2 lbs. I had a nice run that I think was a nice flattie....but I missed it (was falling asleep..haha). There are some nice catfish there. Be prepared for a hike though and pack light. There is a path that goes off to the left that will take you down to the water, so that you dont have to climb the rocks. It is a nice place to fish, but it does get a lot of pressure.

i have fished there countless times and have caught Flatheads,channels,bass,crappie,bluegill, carp, and 1 sucker all out of the lower falls.. seems to have decent channels in it and every now and then some flattys... but the main lake has some monsters in it... I had family that lived out that way and with every trip i would stop at the lower falls........ But i went fishing with Tim lastnight Scott and he caught all the fish... i was just there as support...lol

Was enjoyable fishing with you Shane.

Was not able to add any fish after the 3 channels caught early on.
