If I remember correct the area that is all marsh in west logan is cutler res, I have heard some good catfish stories from there. Not sure if the name is right but get yourself some stiky shrimp and throw them out and youll find some cats.

I have been striking out, i went to benson and have got nothing. I use a weight above a swivle, with about 18 inches of leader and a treble hook with some "green shrimp" i got at the store. What am I doing wrong? I have probably put in 5 hours of fishing there without a nibble.

I used to do well there at night. You could also try chicken livers or night crawlers. Getting away from the main marina would help too.

This year i haven't had any luck out there either. I just gave up fishing there. I don't know why in the past years it has been really easy to catch catfish in Benson. I would recommend buying a bow to shoot the big carp out there, it a lot more fun.

When the water flow is down- below Cutler Dam can be very good with just a bobber and worm letting it float through the holes. Walke the river and fish the holes. They can be stacked up 50 to a small run. Some are nice cats- a lot are just a pound or so.
