If you're after channel catfish near Raymond, Kansas, you'll want to explore the area's ponds, creeks and the nearby Arkansas River. Summer nights are ideal, especially after a good rain that washes fresh scents into the water. Early morning and late evening during the warmer months can also be productive. The Arkansas River offers more current and larger fish, while the smaller ponds are often stocked and provide easier access. A common tactic is to fish with stink baits, nightcrawlers, or cut bait on a Carolina rig near the bottom. For river fishing, look for deeper holes and current seams. Be aware of potential flooding along the Arkansas River, especially during the spring. The channel catfish in this region are known for being relatively abundant, making it a great place for both experienced and novice anglers. Remember to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits.
