Channel catfish are still being caught out of Watson Lake. If targeting catfish, try nightcrawlers, cut hot dogs, and anchovies, as they are always great bait for catfish. Largemouth bass push up into the shallower water this time of year and can be targeted with many different techniques, but smaller plastics are a good place to start. Channel catfish were last stocked the week of Sept. 8. Special Regulations: None. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.
