Channel Catfish
For Channel Catfish angling around Norwood, Kentucky, focus your efforts on the local rivers and larger creeks. The South Fork of the Licking River, for example, offers good catfish habitat. Summer nights are prime time for targeting these whiskered predators. Set up near deep holes, submerged timber, or along outside bends of the river. Traditional catfish baits like chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits work well. Some anglers have success using cut bait from locally caught sunfish. Access can be a challenge, so look for bridge crossings or public access points where you can fish from the bank. Be sure to check local fishing regulations regarding the number of rods allowed and any specific restrictions on bait. The Channel Catfish in this region are generally healthy and can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 10 pounds. Remember to handle them carefully to avoid being finned.
