Blue Catfish
Looking to tangle with some blue catfish near Forest Hill, Louisiana? The Red River and its tributaries offer excellent opportunities. These blues can reach impressive sizes, with many exceeding 30 pounds. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are generally the most productive, as the catfish move into deeper holes and channels. Try targeting areas with strong current and structure, such as fallen trees or bridge pilings. A key local tip is to use fresh, cut bait—shad or skipjack herring are local favorites. Also, be aware of the fluctuating water levels in the Red River; check the river gauge before you go. The blue catfish population here is healthy, and you might even hook into a true river monster if you're patient and persistent.
