Catching catfish

I'm thinking about going on a trip to the Amazon.
What is the best way of catching catfish, like corydoras? What equipment do you need to bring along? Heavy nets are out of the question since I like to travel light. Any suggestions?

People like you make me so mad. Stop depleating the natural habitat of fish. Buy bred ones. Humans have done enough damage to the ecosystems. Breeding pairs of corydoras $10 and they are so easy to breed. What do you guys think. Sorry if i piss some people off but that is my opinion.

With few exceptions, I don't keep any fish that aren't wild caught. Where do you think most catfish come from?

Freshwater fish are being depleted much faster by habitat destruction than by commercial collecting. I think eating less hamburgers might have more of an effect than not buying wild-caught fish.
