Seasonal Activity Chart
Catfish
For catfish anglers in the Fall River Mills vicinity, focus on the larger reservoirs and deeper pools of the Fall River itself. Channel and bullhead catfish are the most common species. Summer evenings and nights are the best times to target catfish, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. Use strong-smelling baits such as chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or commercially prepared catfish baits. Fish near structure, such as submerged logs, rocky bottoms, and drop-offs. A helpful tip is to pre-bait your fishing spot for a few days before you plan to fish, using chum or other attractants to draw catfish into the area. While trophy-sized catfish are not common, you can still catch respectable fish in the 2-5 pound range. Be prepared for a fight, as these fish can be surprisingly strong.
