How to fish for yellow bullhead

Yellow bullhead are a small, hardy catfish of warm, weedy ponds, lakes, and slow streams, distinguished by pale chin barbels and tolerant of warm, low-oxygen water, though often found in somewhat cleaner, more vegetated habitat. Like other catfish they hunt by scent, taking worms, cut bait, and stink baits fished on the bottom, and feed most actively after dark. They're an easy, accessible, good-eating target well suited to young and bank anglers. They carry mildly-venomous spines, so careful handling avoids a jab. On a location page, yellow bullhead are a dependable, hardy warmwater catch of weedy, accessible water.
