Catfish
If you're heading to Marble Falls, Arkansas with catfish on your mind, you're in for a treat. The White River, just a short drive away, offers excellent catfishing opportunities. The key here is understanding the seasonal forage. In the spring, focus on areas where the river has flooded into the surrounding fields – catfish will be there feeding on newly available insects and worms. As the water warms, they'll move deeper, seeking cooler water and concentrating around structure like submerged timber and rock piles. Natural presentations are key; try live nightcrawlers or cut bait fished on a Carolina rig. Don't be afraid to experiment with depth, as temperature and current play a significant role in where the catfish are holding. Access to the White River is available at several public boat ramps along Highway 62, but be mindful of water levels, especially after heavy rains.
