Blue Catfish
Blue catfish in Patagonia, Arizona? Your best bet is again Parker Canyon Lake, a small but surprisingly diverse fishery near town. While not a renowned blue catfish destination, the lake does hold a population of these whiskered giants. Targeting them requires patience and the right approach. Late spring and early summer, when the water warms up, are generally the most productive times. Focus on deep holes and submerged structure using cut bait like shad or stinkbaits. Fishing at night can also be particularly effective. Access is good with a paved boat ramp, but be aware that the lake's small size means it can get crowded, especially during peak seasons. Consider using a fish finder to locate drop-offs and potential catfish hideouts. Don't expect trophy-sized blues consistently, but the chance of hooking into a sizable catfish adds an element of excitement to your Patagonia fishing adventure.
