Blue Catfish
La Grange, Texas, is a great starting point for targeting blue catfish in the lower Colorado River. This stretch of the river offers excellent habitat for blues, with deep holes, submerged timber, and plenty of forage. The best time to fish for blues is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they are more active and tend to congregate in deeper water. Use cut bait, live shad, or prepared catfish baits to entice a bite. A local tip is to fish near bridge pilings or in areas with strong current. Several public access points are available along the river, but be prepared for muddy banks and limited facilities. Colorado River blues can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 50 pounds being caught regularly. Be sure to use heavy tackle and strong line to handle these powerful fish. Always check river conditions before heading out, as water levels can fluctuate rapidly.
