Blue Catfish
Little Elm, Texas, offers excellent opportunities for targeting blue catfish in Lake Lewisville. This large reservoir is home to a thriving population of blues, some reaching impressive sizes. The winter months can be surprisingly productive, as the blues often school up in deeper water. Drifting cut bait, such as shad or herring, is a highly effective technique. Look for areas with channel swings or submerged structure. A local tip: pay attention to the wind direction, as the blues often concentrate on the windward side of the lake. There are numerous public boat ramps around Little Elm providing convenient access. Spring and fall can also be good, as the blues move into shallower water to feed. Lake Lewisville blues are known for their aggressive strikes, so hold on tight!
