Fishing Frenzy

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.

There are many catfish seasons and each one of them has its own techniques of catching fish. In order to get these techniques right, the angler will be required to know about how the fish move and feed in the different seasons for their fishing to be successful. When they have this information, the feeding and catching of the fish will be made much easier.

The pre-spawn period is one of fish seasons that is good for angling. This is because it is usually during the spring periods when the flooding waters have not yet subsided. Water in this particular season flows faster and there are many catfish for anglers to catch. In this season they will have no choice but to learn how to deal with the currents.

During this season, the rivers normally open up to let more water flow. This increases the amount of food and oxygen supplied which means more fish will be coming to feed. With adequate food, the fish will be more fat and easier to be trapped by the fishers. In this particular period, it is wise for the anglers to move their vessels right to the spot of fishing and cast a sharp drop right to the foot 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.

There is also the post-spawn period that is filled with fish that are big-headed, skinny and long. This is the season where most of the fish are coming out for food after a long time of sitting in their nests. This explains their lack of aggressiveness due to not eating. To catch fish in this season, it is better to find a spot where the current is running deep 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.
