Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some whiskered action in southeast Kansas, Galena offers some surprisingly good channel catfish opportunities. The Spring River, which runs near Galena, is a key spot, particularly where it has deeper holes and slower currents. While catfish can be caught year-round, the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time. Look for them to be most active around dusk and dawn. A great tactic is to fish near downed timber or rocky areas, as these provide cover. Bank access is fairly easy along much of the river, but be mindful of private property. A simple slip-sinker rig with stinkbait, worms, or cut bait is usually effective. Also, be aware that the Spring River can be prone to flooding after heavy rains, so check local conditions before heading out.
