Channel Catfish
Targeting Channel Catfish in the North Bend, Oregon area presents a unique freshwater fishing opportunity. While not as widely known as other fisheries in the region, the Coos River and its sloughs offer surprisingly good catfishing. These tidal influenced waters provide a rich feeding ground for catfish, especially during the warmer months. Spring and summer are prime times, as the cats become more active and move into shallower areas to spawn. Try fishing near submerged logs, undercut banks, and deeper holes in the river. A key tip is to use cut bait, nightcrawlers, or commercially prepared catfish baits. Access to the Coos River is readily available via several public boat ramps and bank fishing spots along Highway 101. Be aware of the tidal changes, as they can significantly impact water levels and catfish activity. Local anglers often find success fishing during the outgoing tide.
