Channel Catfish
Targeting Channel Catfish near Glendale, Oregon, requires exploring the South Umpqua River and its slower-moving sections. While the Umpqua is more famous for salmon and steelhead, it also holds a decent population of catfish, especially in the deeper pools and backwater areas. Summer and early fall are prime times for catfish, as the water warms up and they become more active. Focus on fishing during the evening and nighttime hours, when they are most likely to be feeding. Popular baits include cut bait, nightcrawlers, and commercially prepared catfish baits. A local tip: try fishing near bridge pilings or areas with submerged logs and debris, as these provide cover for catfish. Access along the South Umpqua can be limited in some areas, so be sure to scout out potential fishing spots beforehand. Be prepared for a fight, as the Umpqua catfish can be surprisingly strong. Remember to handle them carefully and release them unharmed to help sustain the fishery.
