Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a staple for anglers in Pretty Prairie, Kansas, and they're readily available in the area's rivers, creeks, and farm ponds. The Ninnescah River and its tributaries offer consistent action, especially during the warmer months. Spring and early summer are excellent, as the cats are actively feeding after spawning. Stink baits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait are all reliable choices. Focus on deeper holes, submerged timber, and areas with current. Many anglers have success fishing near bridge pilings and along riprap. A practical tip: scout out potential fishing spots during daylight hours to identify snags and potential hazards. Also, check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits before heading out.
