Channel Catfish
If you're after Channel Catfish near Grass Valley, Oregon, the local rivers and larger reservoirs offer some decent opportunities. While not a renowned catfish destination, these waters hold a healthy population that can provide some exciting angling. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the best time to target catfish, especially during the evening and nighttime hours when they are most active. Focus on areas with deep holes, submerged structure, and current breaks. A proven local tactic is to use stink baits or cut bait fished on the bottom with a slip sinker rig. The South Umpqua River, in particular, can be productive. Access points vary, but many of the county parks offer river access and boat ramps. Be prepared for some rocky terrain along the riverbanks. The catfish in this area are generally of good size, with some exceeding 10 pounds. Remember to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and creel limits before heading out.
