Channel Catfish
If you're after Channel Catfish near Farmington, Washington, you'll need to explore the larger river systems in the region, like the Snake River. While not right in Farmington, it's a worthwhile trip for catfishing enthusiasts. Summer is prime time for channel cats, especially during the warmer evenings and nights. Look for areas with deep holes, submerged structure, and slower currents. A practical tip for this area: many anglers have success using cut bait or prepared catfish baits fished on the bottom. Be prepared for some current, and use heavier weights to keep your bait in place. Channel cats in the Snake River can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds being relatively common. Be sure to check the WDFW regulations for specific rules about catfish in the Snake River, including any gear restrictions or size limits.
