Thanx for the info, Ed. I've already gotten a couple of "lines" on where to look for Channels by following your advice. I'm not much of a catfisherman either, but I caught 2 18 inchers at **** .. er, Chatfield recently, and the little lady turned em into a gourmet dinner (she did some asian thing to em). Anyway, I'd be interested in having that dish again, so I'm gonna try to stock up on a few Channels. I'm actually more of a Spring troller for large Macks & Browns, which I release. I do keep every Kokanee I can get my night krawler diggin' mud stained popgear trollin' fingers on, however, and for obvious reasons (deliciousness). But I love it all; Flycasting, fly & a bubble, spin casting, hikin' into high lakes, dunking worms, and/or stinkbait. Whatever it takes. As long I get a chance to wet some line in some good waters , I'm happy. 8)
