Channel Catfish
If you're looking for whiskered giants in the North Carolina mountains, the channel catfish around Newland offer a unique angling experience. While not known for trophy size, the catfish in the high-elevation waters of the Linville River and nearby impoundments like Lake James are plentiful and eager to bite. Summer nights are prime time, especially after a good rain when catfish move into shallower water to feed. For bank access, try the public access points along the Linville River Road (NC 181). Local tip: Catfish in these cooler waters seem to prefer stink baits and cut bait over sweeter options. Also, be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions in the mountains, and always check lake levels before heading out.
