Experience trophy blue catfish fishing in Kansas with Fish-n-Tales Guide and Outfitter, a professional guided fishing service operating in the scenic Flint Hills region near Manhattan, Junction City, Fort Riley, and Kansas State University. These waters include Milford Reservoir and Tuttle Creek Reservoir, two fisheries recognized by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks as premier destinations for trophy blue catfish in the Midwest.

This guided trip targets trophy blue catfish, with opportunities to land fish in the 40-pound class and larger, and the potential to hook into giants exceeding 50, 60, or even 70 pounds. These reservoirs have developed a reputation for producing large blue cats, making them a top choice for anglers seeking a serious catfishing challenge.

Your guide, Greg Hirschey, brings more than 20 years of professional guiding experience. Since founding Fish-n-Tales in 2004, Greg has guided anglers of all ages and skill levels on some of the country’s most respected catfish waters, including Kansas reservoirs as well as rivers like the Cumberland, James, and Guadalupe. His extensive knowledge of catfish behavior, seasonal patterns, and proven tactics helps maximize your chances of landing trophy fish.

Trips take place aboard a 20-foot Lund Tyee, equipped with a Mercury 225HP motor and modern electronics used to locate structure and active fish. The boat provides a stable and spacious fishing platform, and during colder months the enclosed cockpit with heater allows anglers to stay comfortable while targeting aggressive late-season blue catfish.

Fish-n-Tales uses high-quality rods, reels, and tackle designed specifically for trophy catfish. Greg also prepares fresh or live bait such as shad and goldeye, ensuring presentations that consistently attract mature blue cats.

Safety and comfort are a priority. Greg is licensed, bonded, and insured, and he tailors each trip to the experience level and goals of the anglers onboard. Whether you're a beginner learning catfishing techniques or an experienced angler chasing a personal-best fish, the trip is designed to deliver a productive day on the water.
