Channel Catfish
For channel catfish anglers in the Milliken area, the South Platte River offers accessible fishing. While the river isn't known for monster cats, it holds a healthy population of smaller to medium-sized fish, perfect for a relaxing day of fishing. The best time to target catfish here is during the warmer months, especially from late spring through early fall. Look for deeper holes, undercut banks, and areas near structure like fallen trees. Night fishing can also be very productive. A local tip: access to the river can be limited in some areas, so scout out public access points beforehand. Also, be aware of strong currents, especially after rain. Simple bait rigs with stink bait, worms, or cut bait are effective. The catfish in the South Platte are generally opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different baits to see what they prefer. Be prepared for some surprises – you might hook into other species as well.
