Catfish are most active and easier to spot during dawn and dusk when they move to shallower waters to feed. During the bright midday sun, they often retreat to deeper, cooler sections of the water.
You should avoid touching them as many catfish species in the region have sharp, venomous spines on their dorsal and pectoral fins that can cause painful stings. It is safest to observe them from the bank or a boat.
While not essential for seeing the fish themselves, binoculars are highly recommended for scanning the water surface and banks for other associated river wildlife and birds. Polarized sunglasses are often more helpful for seeing through the water's surface.
