Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target around Turon, Kansas, and you'll find them in abundance in local rivers, creeks, and ponds. The Ninnescah River and its tributaries offer good bank fishing opportunities. Summer is undoubtedly the best time to target catfish, especially after a good rain. The increased water flow and murky conditions trigger feeding activity. Night fishing can be particularly productive during the hot summer months. A local favorite bait is cut bait or prepared stink baits. Worms and chicken liver are also effective. Access to the Ninnescah can be found at bridge crossings and public access points; always check for signage regarding fishing regulations and private property boundaries. Catfish in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different baits to see what's working best on a given day. Be prepared for some smaller fish, but larger cats are definitely present in the deeper holes of the river.
