Seasonal Activity Chart
Catfish
Waco offers excellent catfish opportunities, primarily in the Brazos River and Lake Waco. Channel catfish are abundant, but Lake Waco is also known for producing some impressive blue catfish. Stink baits, cut bait, and live bait are all effective, depending on the season and water conditions. During the warmer months, focus on deeper holes and channels, especially after a rain. In the cooler months, catfish tend to congregate in shallower areas with structure. Bank fishing access is available along the Brazos Riverwalk, but a boat provides access to more remote and productive areas of Lake Waco. A pro tip: check the local bait shops for the freshest bait and current fishing reports. Be prepared for strong currents in the Brazos River, especially after heavy rainfall.
