Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish in Kansas, Glen Elder Reservoir (Waconda Lake) should be on your list. This large reservoir is renowned for its healthy catfish population, offering anglers a good chance at catching both quantity and quality. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are the best times to target channel cats. They become more active as the water temperature rises. A couple of local tips: focus on areas with submerged timber, rocky points, and the main river channel. Also, night fishing can be exceptionally productive, especially during the hot summer months. Traditional catfish baits like cut bait, stink bait, and nightcrawlers work well. Glen Elder has plenty of bank fishing access, particularly near the dam and along the causeway. For boat anglers, drifting across the flats with a bottom rig is a popular technique. Be mindful of wind conditions, as the reservoir can be prone to strong winds and waves.
