Blue Catfish
For anglers seeking trophy-sized blue catfish in Kansas, the area around Hollenberg presents some localized, but potentially rewarding, opportunities. While not a renowned blue cat hotspot like the larger rivers further south, the Big Blue River and certain reservoirs in the region do hold these impressive fish. Focus your efforts during the warmer months, particularly late spring through early fall. Look for blue cats in deep holes, along channel edges, and near submerged structure. Large cut bait, such as shad or carp, is the preferred bait for targeting larger blues. A crucial tip for fishing near Hollenberg: research specific access points along the Big Blue River and identify areas with deep water and potential structure. Also, be prepared for the possibility of facing challenging conditions, such as fluctuating water levels and limited access. The blue catfish population in this area is not as dense as in other parts of the state, so patience and persistence are key.
