Channel Catfish
For channel catfish anglers, Woodbury, Kentucky, provides excellent opportunities on the Green River. The Green River is known for its healthy catfish population, and Woodbury sits right in the heart of some prime catfishing territory. Summer is the peak season, especially after dark. Look for deeper holes, submerged timber, and areas where the river current slows down. Cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits are all reliable choices. A simple Carolina rig is a good starting point. A local's secret is to fish near the mouths of smaller creeks that feed into the Green River, as catfish often congregate in these areas. There are several public access points and boat ramps around Woodbury, but be sure to check river levels and conditions before heading out. The catfish in this section of the Green River can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
