Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish in the Woodlawn Park, Kentucky area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Ohio River and its tributaries. The Little Miami River, which flows into the Ohio, can also be productive. These waterways offer the varied structure—deep holes, submerged logs, and rocky outcroppings—that channel cats love. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the cats are actively feeding after spawning. For bank access, try the public parks along the Ohio River; many offer fishing piers and well-maintained paths. A local tip: using cut bait, especially shad or skipjack herring if you can get it, is a surefire way to attract the bigger channel cats in these waters. Remember that water levels on the Ohio can fluctuate significantly, so check conditions before heading out.
