I read in a magazine article that the water temp. has to be well into the 70's before cats start to spawn.

Jackie, I have been catching quite a few channels in spawning colors lately. I haven't seen a lot of scars and ground down teeth though, so it is doubtful that they have started nesting. Also the water temps have been abnormally low. I would think that they will start making nests in the next couple of weeks, but not actually spawn for three to four weeks. Vern

I havent caught any scarred cats yet but they have been hard to catch the last few times Ive fished.
