I'd use a weedless jighead & shad or bluegill colored plastics in the 1/16oz / 1.5" variety. I'd stay as far away from the tree as possible, but still within casting distance. I might also consider using clear mono, over my normal hi-vis, if it was still possible to see the line under the prevailing conditions. But, I still would not go below 4lb test.
I rarely ever encounter a situation where the wind is blowing away from the object I'm casting to... so anchoring or tying off to the nearest standing tree (within reach) would be preferrable to constantly running the TM.
If the wind is blowing towards or across the downed trees ... I'd consider a very small float, BB sinker, #4 hook & a minner ... casting to where the wind would blow the rig towards the tree.
I'd also consider fishing it when the water over the tree was in the shade. Also of note, is the fact that a little wind ripple wave action is preferrable to a slick water surface, as is a overcast sky.
