Best Periods For Red River Catfishing

By Rosella Campbell


Many catfishing magazines do not write much about moving water fishing except for trail races. Moving water fishing holds a lot of chances if it is carried out in the right manner therefore it must be looked at. Red river catfishing holds very many opportunities which are all probably fun for fishermen and are also expected to be fruitful in catching catfish.

Fast water can be a very good source of fish all throughout the seasons. This is because it has a constant supply of oxygen and fresh food that can be a good source of survival for the fish. When coupled with a hole snag, these places can be good sources of trophy channel cats. To be clear, this fast water does not necessarily be a raging current, it simply means any visible current.

Each catfishing period may have its own different method of catching the fish in the current. An angler will need to have information on the feeding patterns and movements of the fish in all seasons in relation to the moving water. With this understanding they will easily figure out how to feed them and catch them.

One of the seasons is called the pre-prawn season and it is considered good for fishing. This is a period in the spring when the flood waters have not subsided yet. This season, there is fast flow of water and there are also very many catfish available to be caught. The anglers will need to learn how to work with the currents in this season.

During the spring, the rivers usually open up to allow more water to flow. This adds to the food and oxygen supply which means more catfish will be available to feed. With the adequate food, the catfish will be fat and easier to catch for the anglers. In this season it is advisable for the fishers to move their boats right to the point of fishing and make a sharp drop to the bottom of the water.

The spawn period also has fish available but anglers acknowledge that it is harder to catch fish in this season. Using the traditional methods of angling will make their efforts go to waste therefore they are required to look for a spot where the water is funneling down because the water here moves faster.

The post-spawn is another period that is full of catfish that are big-headed, long and skinny. This is the period that most of the catfish coming out to feed after they spend a long time resting in their nests. Their lack of aggressiveness is caused due to the fact that they do not eat in this period. To catch catfish in this period, it is wiser to find a place where the water is flowing low into a hole.

The summer can also be a good season for catfishing as the currents are low and the waters are clear. The visible currents will make it easier for the fishermen to see the fish which makes their work easier. It is therefore always a fishing season in red river hence people who love angling should consider this place.
