Catfish in the Juniata?

I was wondering if anyone ever had much luck with catfish in the Juniata between Mt. Union and Newton Hamilton, I come from johnstown about twice a year to wade for bass and others but don't seem to see or hear much about the cats there?

    I've fished for smallies there before but never catfish. I have seen them caught so I know they are there. I am sure there are channel cats and bullheads, as far as the quality of the fishery I have no clue. I suspect basic small river catfish techniques would work...

    What ever floats your boat, just keep it on your side of the lake...

    I heard some guys around Mount Union saying they would fish for carp and cats at night with softshells, but i've only ever seen average sized bullheads caught. I thought someone may have targeted them in that general area,,,,,not asking for anyones hotspot here just wondered if it was worth the effort.

    we are headed there on the opener of trout, will be targeting all species, carp, cats, walleye, bass etc.  will let you know how we do. we are going to fish at mill creek below huntingdon.

    the early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
