Where around auburn can you go and actually catch catfish. I don't really know how to catfish but really like them.

supposedly..... deep lake has them. I have a cousin who claims he caught them at night off bits of steak. I was confused on why he traded steak for catfish, but whatever  :dunno:

Spencer Lake near Shelton has some nice catfish. Hearts Lake south of Graham also has some.

I caught a nice one back in June out of Ohop Lake and a long time back my buddy pulled a bobber out of the lillypads on Tanwax that still had a very live, big, disgruntled cat on the line attached to the bobber. I think I have heard of them coming out of Kapowsin also.

The "Catfish" that most people catch around here are "Brown Bullhead Catfish", and are found in almost every lake around, I have caught them out of Angle Lake, Fenwick, Dolloph, Killarney, Five Mile, Killarney, in the SeaTac/Federal way area, and out of Kapowsin, Rapjohn, Tanwax, and Silver south of Orting towards Eatonville.

that is true, but it is a nice lake to fish at. I've herd of some monster bass coming out of there.

its a nice lake and PROBABLY has some good size fish. I've heard of monsters as well, but there are so many dinks in there that they may fight for food. but it's getting to be almost impossible to fish.

yea, i have fished there 5 or 6 times and have yet to catch a trout. i know last year a guy caught an 8 pound bass out of there. I have only fished the far side of the lake not out by the houses on the other side. do you know if the fishing is any good on that side?
