Channel Catfish

freshwater

Reeves, Louisiana, offers some excellent channel catfish opportunities in its freshwater systems. The Calcasieu River and its feeder creeks are the main draw. These waters hold good numbers of channel cats, and they can be quite receptive to a variety of baits. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive. Catfish activity tends to peak at night, so consider some evening fishing trips. Popular baits include stink baits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait – shad or other oily fish work well. A good spot to try is along the deeper holes and bends in the Calcasieu. There are several public access points along Hwy 190, but be aware of bank conditions, especially after rain. The catfish here are known for their good eating size, with many fish in the 2-5 pound range and the occasional larger one showing up.
