It can be excellent at times. But on average I would rank it as decent, usually catch enough to make it worthwhile. Occasional large fish.

It's a numbers game, the more good baits you have out the better.

We caught several nice blues and some flatheads crappie fishing there in March on Jigs. I know a fellow that loads the boat with jugs on Belton pretty often! There and Tawakoni have been the lakes we caught the most and biggest catfish while crappie fishing for sure.

If you're not an experienced catfisherman you may want to avoid Travis. It can be great but can be tough even for those who fish it all the time. And getting good bait can be really difficult.
If you don't know Granger drive super slow. More stumps than you could count in 10 lifetimes. I'd fish the main channel where the river comes in. But you may end up way up the river catching shad.
Buchanan is probably the best place if the river is flowing heavy. It's been up quite a few times in the last 2 months so I'd go way up river near the State Park and spread jugs out with big live baits caught in coves under water falls.
Let us know when you plan to go. You can swing by and pick me up
