Blue Catfish
For blue catfish in Blairsville, Lake Nottely offers the best opportunities. While not as abundant as flatheads, Nottely holds a healthy population of blues that can reach impressive sizes. Look for them in the deeper sections of the lake, particularly around the main river channel and near the dam. Summer and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as the blues actively feed to prepare for winter. Cut bait is a popular choice, with gizzard shad or skipjack herring being local favorites when available. Drifting or anchoring near drop-offs and humps can be effective. Be prepared for a fight; these fish are powerful. The dam area is a popular access point, but be mindful of the regulations and any restricted zones. While Nottely is known for its clear water, the blues often prefer areas with slightly stained water, so consider targeting areas after a rain event.
