I don't know about fishing for cats in a river. But I believe they are finiky feeders. Meaning, if they feel the tug of a line they will drop the bait. They usually lip their bait then swim a ways before munching down. So I fish them with an open bail with a rubberband holding the line on the handle. When the cat takes the bait he pulls the line out of the rubberband and runs with it. Then you flip the bail and set the hook.

Tubedude is the one who showed this to me. He may know more about the rivers. Hope this helps.
