Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish in the Lake Roosevelt area near Marcus, Washington, offer a fun and accessible fishing opportunity, particularly during the warmer months. These whiskered predators thrive in the reservoir's diverse habitat, and can be targeted from shore or by boat. Summer evenings and nights are the most productive times, as catfish become more active under the cover of darkness. Focus your efforts on areas with rocky bottoms, submerged timber, and around the mouths of creeks entering the lake. A proven local tactic is to use cut bait or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. Consider adding a scent attractant to your presentation. Lake Roosevelt catfish can range in size, with some reaching impressive weights. Be prepared for a strong fight! A sturdy rod and reel are recommended. Several access points around Lake Roosevelt offer good bank fishing opportunities, and boat launches provide access to deeper waters. Always check local regulations for any specific restrictions on catfish fishing.
