Blue Catfish
If you're after trophy blue catfish near Alta Vista, Kansas, you'll want to head to Council Grove Lake. This reservoir boasts a healthy population of blues, with some real giants lurking in its depths. The best time to target these whiskered behemoths is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for them in deeper water near the river channel, around submerged timber, or near the dam. Fresh cut bait, such as shad or carp, is the go-to bait for blues. A heavy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can put up a serious fight. A helpful tip: pay attention to wind direction, as the blues often congregate on the windward side of the lake. Be prepared for a long day of waiting, but the reward of landing a massive blue catfish is well worth the effort.
