Channel Catfish
Robards, Kentucky, is a fine place to try your luck for Channel Catfish, especially if you enjoy smaller, more intimate fishing experiences. Rather than a large river system, you'll find channel cats thriving in local creeks, ponds, and smaller rivers. These waters warm up quickly in the spring, making that a great time to target them as they become more active after the winter. Summer evenings are also very productive. Chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or prepared catfish baits fished on the bottom near structure (fallen trees, creek bends) are your best bet. A local tip: try fishing the backwaters of the Green River; these quiet pockets often hold good numbers of channel cats. Be mindful of water levels, as these areas can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains. The channel catfish here can range from a pound or two to upwards of ten pounds.
