Where Catfish Feed

Since the beginning Of pole and
line angling, the question as to
where catfish feed has perplexed
most fishermen. Missouri Conserva-
ton commission found that channel
catfish feed largely at night with
the heaviest period coming at dusk.
For the most part, feeding during
the twilight hours will be confined
to the channel and deep water. AS
darkness sets in, the catfish tend to
invade shallower water near the
stream banks.
