I am curious to see what others expireinces with faster moving water and catching cats is. I want to say that the fish are still there and can be caught but then again, I am a salwater guy just trying to survive in the fresh water metropolis i live in. Thanks!

Yep my favorite catfishing is blues and channels right below rapids where the water slows, or on bends of rivers near current.
