Channel Catfish
If you're looking for channel catfish around Bison, Kansas, you'll find them in the many smaller creeks, ponds, and rivers that dot the landscape. While there aren't any massive reservoirs right in town, the smaller bodies of water offer excellent opportunities, especially during the warmer months. Spring and early summer are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active after spawning. Focus on areas with structure, such as submerged logs, rocks, or deep holes. Night fishing can also be very effective. A local tip is to try fishing near bridge pilings or culverts, as these areas often attract catfish. Simple baits like nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or prepared catfish baits will usually do the trick. The channel catfish in this region tend to be plentiful and a good size for a tasty meal.
