So I have had a problem catching catfish in Colorado. I used to catch decent sized Channels back in PA, but nothing here last year.
We have some warm waters on the eastern side of the state, but I am talking cold river fed lakes here in Denver. I know the kitties are there as they are listed and have talked to people who have caught them but I can't.
So, I have tried the standard chicken livers, hotdogs, some paste stuff, and mackerel from the seafood case.
Two different rigs, one slip and one with a three way swivle. One bull head of the standard 12 inch veriety is all I have to show. I fish at sunset until about 12am in early June on, but starting later this year because river melt off is going to run long. Very high mountain snow pack. The water temp will be cold very late.
So tell me what to do, oh Brotherhood of the Cat! :smile2:
