Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some exciting channel catfish action, Cherryville, NC, offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The South Fork River, winding its way through the region, is a prime spot for targeting these whiskered critters. While not known for trophy-sized fish, the South Fork consistently produces good numbers of channel cats in the 2-5 pound range, with larger ones occasionally showing up. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are higher and the catfish are actively feeding. Look for deeper holes and areas with submerged structure like fallen trees or rock piles. Night fishing can be particularly productive. A local tip: many anglers find success using cut bait or stink baits fished on a Carolina rig. Public access is available at several bridge crossings along the river, but be mindful of private property. The channel catfish population in the South Fork is healthy, providing consistent action for anglers of all skill levels.
