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.
