Seasonal Activity Chart
Catfish
For catfish angling near Falls Village, the Housatonic River offers decent opportunities, especially in the deeper holes and slower-moving sections. Channel cats are the most common species. Summer nights are prime time, as catfish are nocturnal feeders. Use strong tackle and durable bait like chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or commercially prepared stinkbaits. Fishing near structure, such as fallen trees or rock piles, can increase your chances. A good access point is the Housatonic River Outfitters location, where you can also get up-to-date information on river conditions. Be aware that the river can be rocky and swift in places, so exercise caution. The catfish population in this area is supported by natural reproduction, resulting in a healthy and sustainable fishery.
