Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target in the Dallas, NC, area, and you'll find them in abundance in Mountain Island Lake. This Catawba River reservoir is a great place to start. Look for channel cats around rocky points, submerged structure, and anywhere with current. Fishing is productive from spring through fall, with the warmer months being particularly good. Night fishing can also be very effective, especially during the heat of summer. For bank anglers, several access points along the lake offer good opportunities. A simple Carolina rig with nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercial stink baits is a proven tactic. Remember to check the local fishing regulations for size and creel limits. The channel catfish in Mountain Island Lake are generally healthy and plentiful, offering a great opportunity for both novice and experienced anglers.
