While not abundant, dedicated anglers might find a blue catfish or two in the larger reservoirs near Gordon, Nebraska. Blue catfish are less common than channel catfish in this region, but they are present in some of the larger bodies of water connected to the Missouri River system. Targeting them requires patience and a willingness to put in the time. Look for deep holes and areas with strong current, as these are prime blue catfish hangouts. The best time to target them is typically late spring through early fall. Use large cut bait, such as carp or shad, on a heavy-duty rod and reel. Be aware that the population of blue catfish is relatively small, so practicing catch and release is encouraged. Access can be tricky, so research boat ramps and shoreline access points beforehand. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on blue cat catches.
