Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target for anglers in the Timken, Kansas area. Local ponds, creeks, and the nearby Arkansas River provide ample habitat for these whiskered fish. Summer is undoubtedly the best time to target channel cats, especially during the evening and nighttime hours. Worms, stink baits, and cut bait are all effective options. Focus on areas with submerged structure, creek mouths, and deeper holes. Be aware of private property rights when accessing fishing spots. Many anglers find success fishing from the bank near bridge crossings. A simple slip-sinker rig with a circle hook is a go-to setup for many local catfishermen. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
