Channel Catfish
For anglers seeking a relaxing catfish adventure, Mountain Lake Park offers opportunities to hook into channel catfish. Mountain Lake itself is stocked, and these whiskered fish thrive in the deeper sections of the lake. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, particularly at night. Use traditional catfish baits such as chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or commercially prepared stinkbaits. Fish them on a slip sinker rig near the bottom in areas with submerged structure or along the creek channel that runs through the lake. A public boat ramp provides access, and fishing from shore is also possible, especially near the dam. Be prepared for some feisty fights, as channel catfish are known for their strong runs. A sturdy rod and reel are recommended. Check local regulations for any size or creel limits before fishing.
