Channel Catfish
Channel catfish in the Ashland, Oregon, area might not be the first species that comes to mind, but several local waters offer surprisingly good catfishing opportunities. Emigrant Lake and Hyatt Lake are two popular choices, with decent populations of channel cats. The warmer months (June-September) are generally the most productive, as catfish become more active in warmer water. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, rocky points, and areas with current. Night fishing can be particularly effective. A local tip: Use a variety of baits, such as chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or commercial catfish baits, to see what the fish are biting on that day. Also, be aware of the potential for catching other species, such as bass or trout, while targeting catfish. Be sure to consult Oregon's fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
