Blue Catfish
Looking for some whiskered giants in the Texas Hill Country? Junction might not be the first place that comes to mind for blue catfish, but the South Llano River holds some surprisingly good opportunities. While not known for huge numbers, the blues here can reach impressive sizes, especially in the deeper holes. Winter and early spring can be very productive, as the fish often congregate in these deeper areas. Cut bait, particularly shad or perch, is your best bet. Be prepared to fish slowly and patiently. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can put up a serious fight. Access to the river is available at several points, but be aware that the river can be challenging to navigate in some areas. Consider using a kayak to reach more remote spots. Respect private property along the riverbanks.
