Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish offer a fun and accessible fishing opportunity in the waterways around Lebanon, Oregon. The Willamette River and its tributaries are your best bet for finding these whiskered predators. Look for them in deeper holes, near log jams, and along undercut banks. Summer evenings and nights are particularly productive, as catfish are nocturnal feeders. Use heavy tackle and strong line, as these fish can put up a good fight. Popular baits include stinkbaits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait. A great local tip is to fish near the confluence of the Santiam River and the Willamette; the mixing of these waters creates ideal catfish habitat. Access can be found at various boat launches along the Willamette, though some may require a small fee. The catfish in this area tend to be of decent size, with some reaching upwards of 10 pounds. Remember to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific size or bag limits.
