Channel Catfish
Targeting Channel Catfish in Gustavus, Alaska, is an extremely unlikely endeavor. Channel Catfish are not native to Alaska, and the cold climate is generally unsuitable for their survival. While there might be extremely isolated, unofficial introductions in very specific, sheltered ponds, the chances of finding a sustainable population are near zero. The focus of fishing in Gustavus should be on the abundant native species like salmon, halibut, and trout. These fisheries are world-class and offer far more rewarding experiences. Instead of searching for catfish, consider booking a charter for halibut or timing your visit with a salmon run. Local guides can provide the best information on current fishing conditions and productive spots for these iconic Alaskan species.
