Channel Catfish
Sanger, California provides access to the Kings River, which is a reliable spot for channel catfish. The river's consistent flow and varied structure create an ideal habitat for these fish. While channel cats can be caught year-round, the warmer months, especially spring and early summer, tend to be the most productive. A useful tip for fishing the Kings River is to target areas with current breaks, such as near bridge pilings or submerged logs. Chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and commercial catfish baits are all effective choices. The channel catfish in this stretch of the Kings River are generally good-sized, and the river's accessibility makes it a popular fishing destination.
