Seasonal Activity Chart
Channel Catfish
Channel catfish in the Elmer City area are primarily found in Lake Roosevelt, the large reservoir on the Columbia River. While not as heavily targeted as other species, Roosevelt holds a healthy population of catfish that can reach impressive sizes. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are the best times to target them. Look for catfish in the back of coves, near submerged timber, and along rocky points. Night fishing is particularly productive. Popular baits include stink baits, chicken liver, and cut bait. A helpful tip: the upper reaches of the lake, closer to the Spokane River confluence, often hold more catfish due to the influx of nutrients. Be prepared for some stained water conditions, especially after rainfall, and adjust your presentation accordingly. Be sure to consult the current Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for size and possession limits.
