Seasonal Activity Chart
Channel Catfish
For channel catfish in the Raymond area, the Willapa River and its tributaries are your best bet. These fish thrive in the muddy bottoms and slower currents. Summer evenings are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active under the cover of darkness. Bait fishing is the most common and effective method, with stinkbaits, chicken liver, and nightcrawlers being local favorites. A great tip for fishing the Willapa is to find areas with structure like submerged logs or undercut banks, as these provide cover for catfish. Be aware of the tidal influence on the river, as the catfish tend to be more active during periods of stable water levels. Local catfish are known for their decent size, with some reaching impressive weights. Be sure to use heavier tackle to handle these hard-fighting fish.
