Blue Catfish
If you're after blue catfish near Hurt, Virginia, the Staunton River is your primary destination. This river system supports a healthy population of blue cats, offering anglers the chance to hook into some impressive fish. The best times to target blues are typically in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate, and the fish are actively feeding. Look for deep holes, channel edges, and areas with structure like fallen trees or rock piles. A local tip is to fish near the confluence of tributaries, as these areas often concentrate baitfish and catfish. Use cut bait, such as shad or herring, for the best results. Be prepared for a strong fight, as these catfish can grow to substantial sizes in the Staunton River. Always check the current fishing regulations for size and creel limits. Access to the river is available via several public boat ramps and access points along its course.
