Channel Catfish
For consistent channel catfish action in the Holly Springs area, explore the smaller lakes and rivers that dot the landscape. While not known for monster cats, these waters hold good populations of eating-size channel cats. Consider targeting locations like Chewalla Lake or the Wolf River. These areas provide diverse habitats from shallow flats to deeper channels. The spring and summer months are prime time, especially after a rain when catfish move into shallower water to feed. A simple bottom rig with stink bait, worms, or cut bait will produce. A local tip: many anglers find success fishing around the Highway 4 bridge on the Wolf River, particularly at night. The channel catfish in this region are generally healthy and provide a fun and accessible fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels.
