Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some whiskered action in central Arizona, Clarkdale offers some surprisingly good channel catfish opportunities. The Verde River is the primary waterway, and it holds a healthy population of cats that thrive in the warmer months. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are particularly productive, as the catfish are actively feeding to regain their strength. Try targeting deeper pools and areas with submerged structure, especially near bends in the river. Access can be a bit challenging in some spots, but the Tuzigoot Bridge area and the Lower TAPCO access point offer relatively easy entry. Be aware of fluctuating water levels, especially after rain, which can impact fishing conditions. Local tip: stink baits and nightcrawlers are catfish staples, but don't overlook live minnows, especially when the water is clear. The cats here aren't particularly large on average, but a consistent bite makes for a fun day.
