Blue Catfish
Woodston, Kansas, offers surprisingly good blue catfish angling, primarily in Kirwin Reservoir and the nearby Solomon River. Kirwin is known for producing some truly impressive blues, often exceeding 50 pounds. The reservoir's deep channels and submerged timber provide ideal habitat. The prime time to target these whiskered giants is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Blues are active throughout the day, but many anglers prefer fishing at night. A practical tip for Kirwin: focus on areas near the old river channel and where the river enters the reservoir; these spots tend to concentrate catfish. Cut bait, especially shad or carp, is the bait of choice. For the Solomon River, look for deeper holes and areas with current breaks. Be prepared for some heavy lifting – these Kansas blues can put up a serious fight. Also, be mindful of the regulations regarding size and creel limits.
