Blue Catfish
New Albany, Kansas, isn't necessarily known as a blue catfish destination, but the Fall River and its associated reservoirs do hold some decent fish for anglers willing to put in the time. These waterways offer a good mix of deep holes, submerged timber, and channel structure that blue cats love. The best time to target them is generally from late spring through early fall. Fresh cut bait is your best bet. Gizzard shad or skipjack herring, if you can get them, are excellent choices. Focus your efforts on deeper holes, especially those near channel bends or submerged structure. Fishing at night can also be very productive. A local tip: Be prepared for some long waits. Blue catfishing often requires patience. Using a fish finder to locate structure and baitfish can significantly improve your odds. Also, be sure to use heavy tackle, as these fish can get quite large.
