Channel Catfish
Millersburg, Oregon, offers some surprisingly good channel catfish opportunities in the Willamette River and its sloughs. While not as well-known as other catfish hotspots, the relatively slower currents and abundant cover in these areas create ideal habitat. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, especially after a period of rain when the river levels rise slightly, washing more food into the system. Try fishing near downed trees, undercut banks, and deeper holes using traditional catfish baits like nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercially prepared stinkbaits. A good access point is the Albany-Millersburg Santiam Boat Ramp, offering easy access to the Willamette. Be aware of the river's fluctuating levels and strong currents, especially during the winter months. Local anglers often find success by anchoring upstream and casting their baits into likely catfish holding spots.
