Blue Catfish
If you're after Blue Catfish near Copper Canyon, Texas, target the deeper channels and flats of Lewisville Lake or Grapevine Lake. These reservoirs hold some impressive blues, and they can be caught year-round. However, the warmer months, particularly late spring and summer, are typically the most productive. Use cut bait (shad or perch are local favorites) on a Carolina rig or a three-way rig to target catfish holding near the bottom. Pay close attention to your electronics to locate submerged creek channels and humps, as these areas often concentrate catfish. Night fishing can also be very effective during the summer months. A practical tip: Lewisville Lake can get crowded with recreational boaters, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week or early in the morning. Also, be prepared for strong winds on both lakes, which can make boat control challenging.
