Blue Catfish
For anglers targeting Blue Catfish near Rexford, Kansas, Keith Sebelius Reservoir (Norton Reservoir) is your best bet. While not as abundant as Channel Cats, Blues are present and can reach impressive sizes. The most productive time is typically from late spring through early fall. Focus on deeper areas of the reservoir, especially near the dam or in river channels. Using cut bait (shad or carp) is a proven method for attracting Blues. A fish finder is essential for locating structure and drop-offs where these fish congregate. Be prepared for long waits, as Blue Catfish can be patient hunters. A sturdy rod and reel are a must, as these fish can put up a serious fight. Be aware of the regulations regarding size and creel limits, which are available on the KDWP website. Because Blue Cats are fewer in number, practice catch and release to help preserve the population.
