Channel Catfish
Whiting, Kansas, might not be the first place that springs to mind for trophy channel catfish, but the smaller rivers and creeks in the area can provide some surprisingly good catfishing, especially after a good rain. These waterways, while not named for being particularly large, hold decent populations of channel cats. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks, deep holes, and submerged structure like fallen trees. Cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stink baits are all reliable choices. The best time to target them is late spring through early fall, with the warmer months being particularly productive. A practical tip: scout out bridge crossings for easy access to the water. Also, be prepared for some muddy banks, especially after rainfall. The channel catfish in this region tend to be scrappy fighters, making for an enjoyable angling experience.
