Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some whiskered action near Hundred, West Virginia, channel catfish are a readily available target. The smaller rivers and streams in the area, as well as larger impoundments a short drive away, hold decent populations of these opportunistic feeders. Summer is prime time for catfish, especially after a warm rain when they become more active and move into shallower water. Focus on areas with structure like fallen trees, rock piles, or bridge pilings. Night fishing can also be very productive. Simple rigs like a slip sinker with a circle hook baited with nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercially prepared catfish bait are highly effective. A local tip: Many of the smaller streams are easily accessible from road crossings, providing ample bank fishing opportunities. Be mindful of private property and always obtain permission before fishing on private land. The catfish in these waters tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in abundance.
