Channel Catfish
Channel catfish in the Snohomish, WA, area can be found primarily in the Snohomish River and its tributaries. These whiskered predators thrive in the slow-moving, muddy waters of the river. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are prime time for targeting channel catfish, as their activity levels increase with the rising water temperatures. Look for them near deep holes, submerged logs, and undercut banks. Using cut bait, nightcrawlers, or stinkbaits fished on the bottom is a classic and effective approach. A local tip: Catfish are most active at night, so consider night fishing for the best results. Public access to the Snohomish River is available at various points, but be mindful of private property and respect posted signs. Be aware of the river's currents and potential hazards, especially when fishing from shore. Some anglers have success near the confluence of the Snohomish and Skykomish Rivers.
