Channel Catfish
Channel catfish might not be the first species that comes to mind when you think of coastal Connecticut, but several lakes and rivers near Woodmont hold surprisingly good populations. The Housatonic River, accessible a short drive inland, is a reliable spot for targeting catfish. Focus on deeper holes and areas with submerged structure, especially near the mouths of tributaries. Night fishing is particularly productive, as catfish are most active under the cover of darkness. Consider using stink baits, cut bait, or live nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. A practical tip for Housatonic River catfish: Be mindful of the current, especially after heavy rains, and use enough weight to keep your bait in place. Also, be aware of potential for boat traffic, especially during the day. Another option is Lake Zoar, known for its healthy catfish population.
