[black][size 3]Although flooded weeds and undergrowth will hold catfish, you would be better off looking for the deeper holes in the river. Places that have downed trees overhanging from the bank. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]That place where you described as having a huge log laying in the water would be a good place to try. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]Catfish are notorious for following along a submerged or floating log. They also like to hang out underneath them and wait for things like frogs, rodents or small birds and large insects to fall off. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]The smaller bait fish that catfish also feed on are attracted to the downed log's smaller branches where their food is (grubs and insects) - the branches also provide some protection for the smaller bait fish; untill of course when they are flushed out by bigger fish or a burst of current - then they become food for the catfish that have been laying in wait under the log ready to ambush.[/size][/black]
