Blue Catfish
If you're targeting blue catfish near Guadalupe, Arizona, the lower Salt River and its connected reservoirs like Bartlett Lake offer your best shot. While not as renowned as some Southern catfish hotspots, these waters hold surprisingly large blues. The key is understanding the seasonal movements. Spring and early summer, when the cats are spawning, are excellent times to fish near deeper holes and submerged structure. Using cut bait, especially carp or shad if available, is a proven tactic. A local's insight: Bartlett Lake's northern arm, accessible via the Bartlett Dam Road boat ramp, often concentrates catfish due to the river channel's depth. Also, be prepared for fluctuating water levels, which can significantly impact catfish location; check lake levels before you go. While not abundant, the blue catfish in this region can reach impressive sizes, offering a memorable angling experience.
