Blue Catfish
If you're looking to tangle with some Blue Catfish in the Sawmills area of North Carolina, Lake Rhodhiss offers a decent chance. While not known as a premier catfish destination, Rhodhiss holds a population of Blues that can reach impressive sizes. The deeper sections of the lake, especially near the old river channel, are prime areas to target them. Summer is generally the best time for catfish, particularly at night. Use heavy tackle and strong line, as these fish can put up a serious fight. Popular baits include cut bait (shad or herring), chicken livers, and stinkbaits. Drifting or anchoring and fishing on the bottom are both effective methods. Several boat ramps provide access to the lake, but be prepared for boat traffic, especially on weekends. The Blue Catfish in Rhodhiss aren't as abundant as in some other North Carolina lakes, but the potential for catching a trophy-sized fish makes it worth a try.
