If you're targeting channel catfish near Uhland, Texas, you'll want to focus on the area's creeks, ponds, and the nearby San Marcos River. While the river offers the most consistent flow, the smaller bodies of water can really heat up in the warmer months. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the catfish are actively feeding and spawning. Baits like stink bait, cut bait (shad or perch work well), and nightcrawlers are local favorites. A practical tip: access to the San Marcos River can be limited, so check for public access points near parks or bridges beforehand. Also, be mindful of water levels; the river can fluctuate quickly after rainfall. The channel catfish here are generally in the 1-5 pound range, with the occasional bigger fish showing up, so a medium-heavy rod and reel setup is recommended.
