Channel Catfish
Sublimity, Oregon, might not be the first place that comes to mind for channel catfish, but the Santiam River and its tributaries offer some surprisingly good opportunities. The best time to target them here is during the warmer months, from late spring through summer, when the water temperatures rise and the catfish become more active. Look for deeper holes and areas with submerged structure like fallen trees or rock piles – these are prime catfish hangouts. A local tip: focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, or even better, fish at night using stinkbaits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers. Be aware that river levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before you go. Access to the river is available at various points along Highway 22, but be mindful of private property. The Santiam's catfish population isn't huge, but patient anglers can be rewarded with some decent-sized fish.
