Channel Catfish
Klamath Falls offers some surprisingly good channel catfish opportunities, primarily in the Klamath River and Lake Ewauna. The unique characteristic here is the riverine environment; unlike many catfish fisheries focused on lakes, you'll be targeting cats holding in currents and around structure like submerged logs and rocky outcroppings. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time. Look for catfish to be most active after dusk and before dawn. A great tip is to access the river near Veteran's Memorial Park; there's decent bank access and a boat ramp if you prefer fishing from the water. Local anglers swear by stink baits and cut bait fished on a Carolina rig. The catfish in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations.
