Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish around Greenwood, Louisiana, Caddo Lake and its surrounding waterways provide ample opportunities. These catfish thrive in the lake's diverse habitat, from the open water to the dense cypress swamps. Warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive. Look for them near submerged structure, creek channels, and areas with current. A simple Carolina rig with nightcrawlers or stinkbait is a reliable choice. A local tip is to fish near the boat lanes and around any docks or piers, as these areas often attract catfish. Public access points are available around the lake, including several boat ramps. The channel catfish in Caddo Lake are known for their good eating size, typically ranging from 1 to 5 pounds, although larger fish are certainly possible. They offer consistent action and are a great target for anglers of all ages and skill levels.
