Channel Catfish
Channel catfish in the Mitchell, Oregon area are primarily found in any reservoirs or larger ponds that are available. Due to the arid climate, fishing opportunities are limited, making any accessible water body a potential catfish haven. Summer is prime time, particularly during the warmer evenings and nights when catfish are most active. Look for deeper holes, submerged structure, or areas with current near inlets or outlets. Traditional catfish baits like nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or prepared stinkbaits are highly effective. A helpful tip is to pre-bait your fishing spot a day or two in advance to attract catfish to the area. Also, consider using a slip bobber rig to keep your bait suspended just off the bottom. Given the typically smaller size of the impoundments, catfish may be concentrated in certain areas. Be mindful of water levels, as drought conditions can impact fish populations. While you may not find trophy-sized catfish, the chance to catch a few in the quiet, remote setting of central Oregon can be a rewarding experience. Always check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and fishing closures.
