Catfish
If you're aiming for whiskered giants near Tulsa, Oklahoma, you're in for a treat. The Arkansas River and its tributaries offer excellent catfish opportunities. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks, submerged timber, and rocky outcroppings, especially after heavy rains when the water is slightly muddied. Spring and early summer are prime times as catfish become more active during spawning season. Chicken liver, cut bait, and prepared stink baits are local favorites. A practical tip: access to the Arkansas River is readily available at several city parks and designated fishing areas. Pay attention to water levels – higher, slightly stained water often concentrates catfish near the banks. The catfish population in this region is known for its healthy mix of channel, blue, and flathead catfish, with some real trophies lurking in the deeper holes.
