Channel Catfish
Looking for some catfish action near Chimney Rock Village? While the area is better known for its bass fishing, the Broad River provides a decent opportunity to tangle with channel catfish. These whiskered fish thrive in the river's diverse habitat. Spring and summer evenings are the best times to target them, as they become more active in warmer water. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as near bridge pilings or fallen trees. A simple Carolina rig with cut bait or nightcrawlers is a reliable approach. A local tip: try fishing near the mouths of smaller creeks that flow into the Broad River, as these areas often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, catfish. Access to the river can be found at several public access points, but be aware of varying water levels, especially after heavy rains. Although channel catfish in the Broad River may not reach trophy sizes, they provide a consistent and enjoyable fishing experience.
