While not as widely known as some other Texas destinations, Weston offers some opportunities to tangle with Blue Catfish in nearby waterways. Focus your efforts on the larger creeks and rivers that feed into Lake Lavon, a short drive from Weston. These creeks often hold good populations of blue catfish, especially in deeper holes and around submerged structure. Winter and early spring are excellent times to target blues, as they tend to congregate in deeper water. Cut shad is the go-to bait for blues in this area. A heavy-duty rod and reel are essential, as these fish can grow to impressive sizes. Check water levels and clarity before heading out, as heavy rains can impact fishing conditions. A local tip is to fish the deeper holes near creek mouths after a rain event, as the blues will often move into these areas to feed on disoriented baitfish. Be prepared for a fight; these blues are known for their power!
