Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some whiskered action, Church Hill, Tennessee offers some great channel catfish opportunities. The Holston River, flowing nearby, is a prime spot to target these fish. Focus your efforts around structure like submerged logs, rock piles, and bridge pilings, as channel cats love to hang out in these areas. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are particularly productive as the cats are actively feeding. Night fishing can also be very effective, especially during the warmer months. For bank access, try the public areas around the Highway 11W bridge. A simple Carolina rig with cut bait or nightcrawlers is hard to beat. Be prepared for some feisty fights – these Holston River cats are known for their strong runs!
