Blue Catfish
While Covina isn't immediately known for trophy blue catfish, several nearby reservoirs and lakes offer surprisingly good opportunities for anglers willing to put in the time. Focus your efforts on the larger bodies of water within an hour's drive, like Puddingstone Reservoir or Santa Fe Reservoir. These locations are stocked with trout during the cooler months, which in turn provides forage for growing catfish. Spring and early summer, after the trout plants have settled, can be prime time. For bank access, Puddingstone offers several easily accessible spots, but be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. Using cut bait, like mackerel or sardines, can be effective. A key local tip: Pay attention to water levels and clarity. After heavy rains, the bite can slow down considerably until the water clears. Also, check local regulations, as some areas may have specific restrictions on bait or gear.
