WTB Temperate species of Catfish

I'm looking to build some large outdoor ponds this year. I live in Anchorage, Alaska and due to the long daylight in the summer the temps usually range at minimum in the high fifties (F) to upwards of 80 during hot periods.

I'm narrowing my search down to the Blue Catfish as they seem fairly hardy. Would consider a more exotic species as long as it tolerates cooler water.

I read there was a Siberian Catfish but it looks endangered and not sure what the laws are regarding its transport and sale.
