Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish in Newbury, Vermont, the Connecticut River is your primary target. While not a renowned catfish destination, the river holds a decent population, offering a fun challenge for anglers. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through summer and into early fall. Catfish become more active at night, so consider fishing after dark using baits like chicken liver, cut bait, or nightcrawlers. Focus on deeper pools, especially near structure like submerged logs or rocky bottoms. A practical tip: try fishing near the mouths of tributaries that feed into the Connecticut River. These areas often concentrate baitfish, attracting catfish. Access can be found at various points along the riverbank, but be mindful of private property. A heavier rod and reel setup is recommended to handle the potential for larger fish and the strong currents of the river. Remember to check Vermont fishing regulations for catfish-specific rules.
