Channel Catfish
Channel catfish in the Kent, Washington area? Look no further than the Green River. While not the first species that comes to mind for this region, the Green River holds a decent population of channel cats, particularly in the deeper, slower-moving sections. Focus your efforts near log jams, submerged structures, and areas where the river bends. Summer evenings and nights are the prime time for targeting these whiskered predators. Use stink baits, nightcrawlers, or cut bait rigged on a Carolina rig or slip sinker. A good access point is near the Highway 18 bridge, but be mindful of the current and potential snags. The catfish in the Green River aren't giants, but they can provide a fun and challenging fishing experience. Be prepared for a fight, and always handle them with care to avoid getting finned.
