Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target for anglers near Plainville, Kansas. Local reservoirs, rivers, and farm ponds all hold good populations of these whiskered fish. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are ideal for catfish angling. Look for catfish near structure such as submerged logs, rocks, and brush piles. Baits like cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits are all highly effective. A local tip is to use a slip-sinker rig to keep your bait on the bottom, especially in areas with current. Webster Reservoir is a good starting point. Bank fishing access is generally good around most reservoirs, so you don't necessarily need a boat. Keep in mind that catfish are often most active at night, so consider night fishing for the best results. The size of catfish in the area can vary from smaller 'eater' size fish to larger specimens, so be prepared for a good fight.
