Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish in the Myrtle Creek area might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but the South Umpqua River and some of the larger ponds and sloughs hold surprising numbers. Targeting them requires a different approach than trout fishing, of course. The best time to fish for catfish here is during the warmer months, particularly summer evenings and nights when they are most active. Look for them in deeper pools, near submerged logs, or along the riverbanks. A good starting point is to access the river near Myrtle Creek's Stewart Park, where there are some deeper sections that catfish favor. Use stink baits, nightcrawlers, or cut bait on a Carolina rig to entice the catfish. Be prepared for a strong fight, as these fish can get quite large. Keep in mind that regulations regarding catfish size and limits may apply, so check the local fishing guidelines before heading out.
