What's Killing All the Catfish

Dieter Melhorn Fishing

Have you ever wondered, what is a pay lake? If you fish for catfish, you probably want to catch a really big catfish at some point.

For most catfish fishermen this means fishing for catfish in a local lake or river. For others, who are not near bodies of water with catfish, this means fishing in a pay-to-fish-lake, also known as a pay lake.

Paylakes are places where you pay to fish in a private lake that is stocked with catfish from a public body of water. In this video podcast I will discuss what pay lakes are and how they impact the catfishing world.

Some of the biggest catfish in America are caught in public water and transported to pay lakes where people pay to fish for them. Fishing for giant catfish in pay to fish lakes is nothing new. The catfish pay lakes have been around a long time and are very popular.
