Channel Catfish
For those seeking a classic catfish experience, the creeks and rivers around Cedar Vale, Kansas, hold good populations of Channel Catfish. The Caney River and Grouse Creek are worth exploring. These waterways offer a mix of deep holes, rocky runs, and log jams – perfect habitat for catfish. The best time to target channel cats is from late spring through summer, especially after a good rain when the water is slightly murky. Use traditional catfish baits like stinkbaits, nightcrawlers, or cut bait fished on the bottom. Look for areas with structure or where the current slows down. Bank fishing is a popular option, but a small boat or kayak can allow you to reach more secluded and productive spots. Be aware that some areas may have limited access, so do your research before heading out. Also, be prepared for mosquitoes, especially during the warmer months.
