Channel Catfish
While not the first species that comes to mind when you think of Canyonville, the South Umpqua River does hold a population of channel catfish. Targeting them specifically requires a different approach than other species in the area. The best time to fish for channel cats is during the warmer months, particularly summer evenings and nights. Focus your efforts on deeper holes and slower-moving sections of the river, especially near submerged logs or undercut banks. Popular baits include nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercially prepared catfish baits. A good access point is near the bridge crossings along Highway 99, where you can often find areas to fish from the bank. Be aware that the river can experience fluctuations in water level, so check conditions before heading out. The catfish in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but they can provide some exciting fishing, especially after dark.
