Blue Catfish
While not a traditional blue catfish destination, the Los Angeles River near Cudahy can surprisingly hold these whiskered giants. These catfish have adapted to the urban environment and can reach impressive sizes. Look for them in deeper pools and areas with structure like bridge pilings and debris. The best time to target blue catfish is during the warmer months, from late spring through summer, as their metabolism increases. Cut bait, such as mackerel or shad, is a popular choice. Use a heavy rod and reel with strong line, as these fish can put up a serious fight. Access to the river can be challenging, so scout out potential fishing spots beforehand. Be aware of local regulations and potential water quality concerns. While the LA River might not be the most picturesque setting, landing a large blue catfish in the heart of the city is an unforgettable angling experience. Always practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
