Channel Catfish
Channel catfish can be found in several of the larger bodies of water near Cove, Oregon, including the Grande Ronde River and some of the larger reservoirs in the region. While not a renowned catfish destination, persistent anglers can find success. The warmer months, from late spring through summer (June-August), are the best times to target catfish, as they become more active in warmer water. Look for them in deeper holes, near submerged structure, or along muddy banks. Night fishing is particularly effective. A good local tip is to use cut bait or stink baits, as these tend to be the most productive. Check local regulations regarding bait restrictions. The catfish in this area are generally of modest size, but they can provide a fun and accessible fishing opportunity.
