If you're looking to tangle with some whiskerfish near Edgecliff Village, Texas, you're in luck. The numerous ponds and smaller lakes dotting the landscape around the village offer excellent channel catfish opportunities. Spring and early summer, particularly after a good rain, are prime times. Catfish will be moving into shallower water to spawn, making them easier to target. Try fishing near submerged timber or rocky outcroppings with stinkbait, cut bait, or even live worms. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are on private property, so always obtain permission before fishing. Benbrook Lake, a short drive away, is another reliable option. The lake has several public access points and boat ramps. The channel catfish in this region tend to be scrappy fighters, often in the 2-5 pound range, with larger specimens possible.
