Channel Catfish
Channel catfish near Jamestown, Colorado, are not the most common target, but they can be found in some of the larger reservoirs and river systems at lower elevations, further east of Jamestown. While the high-altitude streams aren't ideal, the lower elevation waters of the plains hold catfish. Summer is the best time to target them, especially during the evening and nighttime hours when they are most active. Look for areas with deep water, submerged structure, and slow currents. Stinkbaits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective baits. A local tip is to use a heavy sinker to keep your bait on the bottom in the current. Be aware that access to some of these areas may be limited, so research public fishing areas or obtain permission to fish on private land. The channel catfish in this region can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight.
