Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish near Richlands, North Carolina, the New River offers excellent opportunities. This river system is known for its healthy catfish population, with plenty of fish in the 2-5 pound range, and some larger specimens to be found. Summer is the prime time for catfishing, as the warmer water encourages activity. Focus on deeper holes, bends in the river, and areas with submerged structure. Popular baits include cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits. A helpful tip for fishing the New River is to target areas near confluences of smaller creeks; these areas often concentrate catfish. Access to the river is available at several public boat ramps and access points, but be prepared for some challenging wading conditions in certain areas. Be sure to check the local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size/creel limits for catfish.
