Channel Catfish
If you're after channel cats in south-central Kansas, Norwich offers some excellent opportunities. The Ninnescah River, which flows nearby, is a prime spot, especially during the warmer months. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, often see active feeding as they recover. Late summer and early fall can also be productive as they bulk up before winter. Bank fishing access is available at various points along the river, but be sure to check local regulations regarding access. A local tip: Focus on areas with submerged timber or deeper holes, as channel cats love cover. Chicken liver and stink baits are classic choices that consistently produce results in these waters. The channel cats in this area tend to be good fighters, so be prepared for a decent battle, even with moderate-sized fish.
