Catfish
If you're looking to hook into some whiskerfish near Palmer Lake, Colorado, timing is everything. This high-altitude lake sees significant temperature swings, so focus your efforts on the warmer months, particularly late spring through summer. Catfish activity really picks up as the water warms. Palmer Lake is relatively small, so bank fishing is definitely an option, especially around the inlet and dam areas. For bait, think natural – nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or even cut bluegill if you can get them. The key here is to present your bait close to the bottom, adjusting your depth as needed. Palmer Lake experiences fluctuating water levels, so be sure to check current conditions before you head out. The catfish in Palmer Lake aren't giants, but they can provide some exciting action, especially for anglers who appreciate a more intimate fishing experience.
