    Catfish spawn

    Does anyone know if the Blue and Channel cats are spawning in the Ohio and Kentucky rivers??? I figure it is about time for it to happen.

    By the look of some of the fins and fresh cuts I'd say yes. Chuck

    Not Sure if channel catfish in lakes spawn at different times than the river. I fished East Fk lake in OH and cleaned a few cats that were full of eggs this past sunday. The fish were right on the banks and caught on crappie minnows right along with the crappie. My 5 yr old loved the fight of those channels!

    Alot depends on the water temp. Catfish have one of the longest spawning periods ...can last two months or better. You may have a spawn at one end of the lake and a month later one at the other end. With you being alittle to the north your water temps are probably a little cooler. Once the water temps hit the 70's most cats will anticipate spawning.Chuck
