Channel catfish raised at a Magic Valley aquaculture business were recently stocked across Idaho to provide opportunity for anglers to catch these fish and put food on their tables. Stocking locations ranged from Lake Cocollala in northern Idaho to the Rexburg City Pond in eastern Idaho, with 18 lakes and reservoirs receiving catfish.
An angler’s chances of catching a blue catfish in Idaho remains slim, although it’s obviously possible. Most anglers are likely to catch channel catfish, which are still Idaho’s most common and widely distributed catfish. The Snake River and its reservoirs will likely continue to produce big catfish.
Catfish are also available in many of the Snake River’s tributaries, including the Weiser, Payette and Boise Rivers, typically in the lower stretches. And these catfish aren’t the little bullheads many people are familiar with catching. Channel cats average about 4 to 6 pounds and lots of them range above 10 pounds.
Before releasing the huge catfish back into the reservoir, Paul used a digital scale to weigh the fish at 37 lbs.

Strike Reservoir!

I've caught just about everything that swims on a Senko. Except a catfish! I've caught both LM & SM bass, walleye, carp, white perch, yellow perch, salmon, lake trout and rainbow trout. Don't see why catfish wouldn't eat one either.
