Channel Catfish
Targeting channel catfish near Olmos Park? Focus your efforts on the freshwater stretches of the San Antonio River as it meanders through the area and the nearby reservoirs like Braunig Lake and Calaveras Lake. These waters offer the warmer temperatures and abundant forage that channel cats thrive on. Spring and early summer are prime times, as catfish become more active during spawning season. Baits like stink bait, chicken liver, or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom near submerged structure or along the river bends will increase your odds. A local tip: The river around Brackenridge Park offers accessible bank fishing spots, but be prepared for some foot traffic. Also, check local regulations for any specific restrictions on bait or size limits, as these can change.
