Hey,
I was working on this as a part of my future article on "Finding New Fishing Spots" but thought I'd post it up since it is quite interesting.
Channel Cats are one of the species that gives a shore angler a chance of catching a really good size fish with simple inexpensive tackle. They are easy to target, and can test/hone your skills - spring, summer and fall. Plus there is none of the salmon/steelhead insanity here.
Unlike Bullheads - Channel Cats are really not all that widespread in Southern Ontario. Furthermore in the whopping big sizes (over 10 pounds) their range is VERY limited.
Here's a summary of ALL Southern Ontario Channel Cat entries in the latest Ontario fish eating guide. Quite short isn't it. I also attach the MNR's Channel Cat Atlas.

I'll leave the pondering and resolutions up to you..........discussion?
Cheers,
