Channel Catfish
Minneapolis, Kansas, offers excellent channel catfish opportunities, primarily in the Solomon River and nearby reservoirs like Milford Lake (a short drive away). The Solomon is known for its healthy catfish population, offering both quantity and quality. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are prime times as catfish actively feed to recover. Late summer and early fall can also be productive, especially during periods of stable water levels. For bank access on the Solomon River, look for public access points near bridges and along county roads; many are well-maintained. A local tip: try fishing near submerged timber or rocky outcroppings, as these provide excellent cover for catfish. Chicken liver, cut bait, and prepared catfish baits are all effective choices here. Be aware of fluctuating water levels on the Solomon, especially after heavy rains, which can impact fishing conditions.
