Channel Catfish
While Kasaan, Alaska, isn't typically known as a catfish hotspot, persistent anglers might be surprised. Channel catfish are rare in Alaska, but they are sometimes found in freshwater systems connected to the ocean, likely through accidental introductions or natural migration. Focus your efforts on the larger rivers and lakes near Kasaan, especially those with murky water and plenty of submerged structure like logs and fallen trees. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, offer the best chance as the water temperatures rise slightly. Be prepared to use typical catfish baits like cut bait, nightcrawlers, or stinkbaits. Note that access to some of these areas may require a boat or float plane. Given their rarity, any catfish caught in Kasaan should be carefully documented and reported to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
