When is catfish fishing? Catfish can be fished all year round, but the best time to target them is during spring and autumn. In spring, as temperatures rise, catfish become more active and start to move around in search of food, making them easier to catch. Autumn is another ideal time, as catfish prepare for the winter by building up food reserves, which makes them particularly voracious.
Where to fish for catfish? Catfish are mainly found in the large rivers and lakes of Europe. In Italy, the Po, Tevere and Adige rivers are among the most popular places for catfish fishing. These fish prefer calm, deep waters with muddy or vegetated bottoms. They often hide near obstacles such as submerged logs, roots or rocks, where they find shelter and food.
