Channel Catfish
Channel catfish fishing near Brownsville, Oregon, centers around the Calapooia River and its connected sloughs. While not a premier catfish destination, the area offers a chance to tangle with these whiskered predators. Summer evenings are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active after dark. Focus your efforts near submerged logs, undercut banks, and deeper holes in the river. Simple bottom fishing rigs with nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercially prepared catfish bait are effective. Access to the Calapooia can be found at various points along its course, but be mindful of private property and posted areas. The channel catfish in this region tend to be smaller than those found in larger river systems, but they can still provide a fun and tasty meal. Be sure to check ODFW regulations for size and bag limits before heading out. A stealthy approach and patience are key to success when targeting catfish in this area.
