Channel Catfish
Copeland, Kansas, offers some surprisingly good channel catfish opportunities in its local ponds and rivers. While not known as a catfishing mecca, the smaller bodies of water often hold decent populations of channel cats, especially those that connect to the Arkansas River watershed. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are prime times, as the cats are actively feeding. Another productive period is late summer into early fall, as they fatten up for winter. Local tip: Try fishing near submerged timber or along riprap banks with cut bait or stink bait. Access can be a bit limited, but the public access points along the Arkansas River, a short drive from Copeland, offer good starting locations. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out.
