Channel Catfish
Channel catfish offer a fun and accessible fishing option in Mantua, and Mantua Reservoir is your primary target. While not as renowned as some larger catfish fisheries, Mantua Reservoir holds a decent population of channel cats. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the most productive times to fish for them. Target areas with submerged structure, like fallen trees and rocky bottoms, as well as deeper holes. Classic catfish baits like stinkbait, chicken liver, and nightcrawlers work well. A simple slip-sinker rig is a reliable choice. A local tip: Try fishing near the inlet or outlet of the reservoir, as these areas often attract catfish searching for food. Night fishing can also be productive, as catfish are often more active after dark. The catfish in Mantua Reservoir are typically in the 1-5 pound range, offering a good fight on light to medium tackle.
