Channel Catfish
While not the most renowned catfish destination, Yarrow Point, with its access to Lake Washington, offers a decent opportunity to target Channel Catfish. These fish are most active during the warmer months, from late spring through summer and into early fall. Focus your efforts in the deeper sections of the lake, particularly near the Sammamish River delta or around areas with submerged timber or rocky bottoms. Night fishing is often the most productive. A practical tip for Lake Washington: use a Carolina rig with stink bait or cut bait fished near the bottom. Another effective method is to fish near docks with lights, as these attract insects and small fish, which in turn attract catfish. Keep in mind that the clarity of Lake Washington can vary, so adjust your presentation accordingly. Don't be surprised if you also hook into other species like bullhead catfish while targeting channels.
