Facts:
Channel catfish are a great addition to many ponds in Texas. They are especially favored in small murky ponds that cannot be productive with other types of fish. In most cases, catfish are stocked as a 'put and take fishery' to keep their numbers in check. Catfish readily accept feed and can grow at an astonishing rate.

Spawning Characteristics:
Channel catfish spawn in late spring once the water temperature reaches 75 °F. They only spawn in enclosed areas such as undercut banks, under logs and in old buckets.
