Blue Catfish
While Litchfield Park itself lacks immediate access to prime blue catfish waters, a short drive opens up opportunities at the Salt River or larger reservoirs like Lake Pleasant. These waters hold populations of blue catfish, though they require dedicated targeting. The best time to fish for blues is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus on deeper holes and channels, particularly near submerged structure or areas with current. Cut bait, stink baits, and live bait are all effective choices. A practical tip: use heavy tackle and strong hooks, as blue catfish can grow to impressive sizes. Also, be prepared for a wait; catfish often require patience. Be sure to check local regulations for size and bag limits, as they can vary by water body. Blue catfish are not native to Arizona, so their presence is a result of stocking efforts.
