About Calaveras Creek

As a river in Texas, United States, Calaveras Creek fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Calaveras Creek pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Red drum

  When fishing structure, cast upcurrent and let your bait naturally drift down.

• For Blue catfish

  Target areas with current breaks and structure, like submerged timber or ledges, as blue catfish often ambush prey in these locations. Use a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish, as blue catfish are likely to be nearby.

• For Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
