Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish in the Almira, Washington area can be found in Sprague Lake. While it is known for bass, Sprague Lake also holds a decent population of Channel Cats that are often overlooked. Summer evenings and nights are the best times to target them, as they become more active in the cooler temperatures. A proven local technique involves using stink baits or cut bait fished on the bottom near submerged structure or creek channels. The catfish in Sprague Lake tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits can be effective. Access to the lake is good, with a public boat launch available. Be prepared for some competition from other anglers, especially on weekends.
