Channel Catfish
Channel catfish in the Zillah, Washington area offer a surprisingly good fishery, especially if you know where to look. The Yakima River is your primary target, providing ample habitat for these whiskered predators. Look for deeper holes, submerged logs, and areas with slower current. The best time to target catfish is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They become especially active at night, so night fishing is a popular and productive tactic. Use sturdy tackle and strong hooks, as these fish can put up a good fight. Popular baits include stinkbaits, chicken liver, and nightcrawlers. A local tip: check the river flow before you go, as higher flows can make fishing more challenging. Access to the Yakima River is generally good, with several public access points and boat launches available along its course. The catfish in this area tend to be good-sized, with opportunities for catching some real trophies.
