Best Catfish holes
#1
I am wondering where the best places to catch catfish around Boise are. I frequent Swan Falls, Celebration Park and Lake Lowell. Is there any good catfishing from the bank at lucky peak or arrowrock?

No cats in Lucky or Arrowrock. Anywhere along the Snake will have them, Swan Falls, down by Melba at Dan's Ferry there's a boat launch with a dock on the other side. You can try driving up ferry road and hitting the dirt road that goes along top of the river, there's some decent spots along there (some require a pretty good hike). In town I know they're in Parkcenter (never caught/tried there) and at Wilson Springs Beach's pond in Nampa (caught a few there).

If you really want to catch cats, Brownlee is your best bet. Its west of Weiser, a bit of a drive, but you'll consistently catch them.

Good luck, let us know how you do.

The two ponds on Veterans Memorial Park also have some stocked on catfish there.

Check the attached photo for a good location

Its kind of weedy but its pretty good, decent amount of rainbow trouts too. good

A friend and I went out for cats for a couple of hours on Friday night on the Snake. We fished from just before dark to about 10:30 just downstream from Marsing at one of the sportsman's access points.

My friend and I seem to have this alternating pattern thing going where we'll go out and one of us will catch all the fish but the other won't catch anything. Then the next trip the other will catch all the fish. This time it was my turn to catch fish. I caught these two fine cats on cut bait, along with a small one that was released.

The bigger one hit almost as soon as the bait touched the bottom. I didn't even have time to get my second pole in the water. It must have just about bonked him on the head.
