Catfish Fishing Lakes In Washington

The Columbia and Snake Rivers are notorious for big catfish. Most rivers in WA are likely to contain at least a few catfish. They will also be found in some ponds, parks, small lakes and of course some of the major lakes in Washington. These major lakes include Alder Lake, Banks Lake, Franklin D Roosevelt Lake, Lake Bryan, Lake Chelan, Lake Sammamish, Lake Umatilla (John Day), Lake Wallula (McNary), Lake Whatcom, Mayfield Lake, Palmer Lake, Riffe Lake, pirit Lake, Vancouver Lake and Wanapum Lake.

Bay Lake out on the Key peninsula and also Horseshoe Lake out there too.

Harts Lake is real close and has a ton, but you will need to wait till it warms up.

have fished banks lake for years and have never caught a cat. however, there are some good sized fresh water lings. the south end is pretty good for kokanee . lots of nice walleye and have caught several 5-6 lb. rainbows.
