Channel Catfish
If channel catfish are on your radar, the waterways around Tryon, NC, offer some excellent opportunities. The Broad River and smaller creeks that feed into Lake Lure are your best bets. While they might not reach the monstrous sizes of their blue catfish cousins, the channel cats here are plentiful and provide consistent action. Summer evenings and nights are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active under the cover of darkness. A simple Carolina rig with nightcrawlers or stink bait is a proven tactic. For easy access, consider fishing from the banks of the Broad River near the town of Tryon. Several public access points offer convenient parking and fishing spots. Be mindful of the current, especially after heavy rains, and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your bait on the bottom. The channel catfish in this region are known for their willingness to bite, making for a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
