Channel Catfish
Channel catfish in Heritage Creek, Kentucky, might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but the smaller rivers and streams in the area can hold surprisingly good populations. These waterways often get overlooked, providing a less pressured environment. Summer nights are prime time for targeting these whiskered fish. Look for deeper holes, log jams, and areas where tributaries enter the main stream. A simple slip sinker rig with nightcrawlers or cut bait is often all you need. For a local edge, try using locally sourced chicken liver – it's a catfish favorite around here. Access can be a bit challenging in some areas, so be prepared to do some walking. Remember to check for any private property restrictions before fishing. While you may not catch monster catfish, the chance for a peaceful and productive evening on the water is well worth the effort.
