Blue Catfish
If you're after Blue Catfish near Wallburg, NC, the Yadkin River and High Rock Lake are your primary destinations. These waters hold some impressive specimens, with fish exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are actively feeding. Use cut bait like shad or herring, or live bait such as bream, fished on the bottom with a Carolina rig or a three-way swivel rig. A key local tip is to fish near deeper holes and channels, especially those with structure like submerged timber or rock piles. High Rock Lake offers numerous boat ramps for easy access, but be aware of boat traffic, especially on weekends. Blue Cats in this area are known for their strong fights, so be sure to use heavy tackle and be prepared for a battle.
