Blue Catfish
While Gem, Kansas might not be the first place that comes to mind for blue catfish, determined anglers can find opportunities in nearby larger rivers and reservoirs. Milford Reservoir and Tuttle Creek Lake, while a drive away, are known to hold good populations of blue catfish. These reservoirs offer the best chance for targeting larger blues. Cut bait is a popular and effective choice, especially shad or other oily fish. Look for blues in deep channels, near the dam, and in areas with strong current. The fall and winter months can be especially productive as the fish school up in deeper water. Remember to check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks website for any specific regulations regarding size and creel limits. Also, familiarize yourself with boat ramp locations and access points before you head out.
