Channel Catfish
For channel catfish anglers, Mound City, Kansas, presents a gateway to some under-appreciated fishing. The Marais des Cygnes River, flowing nearby, is a classic catfish river, holding good numbers of channel cats. Look for deeper holes, log jams, and areas with current breaks. Cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits are all effective, but many locals swear by chicken liver. Summer is undoubtedly the best time to target these whiskered fish, especially after a good rain that muddies the water and draws them out of their hiding spots. Be prepared for some bank fishing, as boat access can be limited in certain stretches. Remember that the Marais des Cygnes can be prone to flooding, so check river levels before heading out. There are a few public access points along the river, but scouting ahead is always a good idea.
