Channel Catfish
If you're chasing channel catfish near Colorado City, Arizona, you'll need to explore the smaller lakes and reservoirs scattered across the high desert landscape. These waters, often overlooked, can hold surprisingly healthy populations of catfish. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, especially from late spring through early fall. Night fishing is particularly effective, as the catfish become more active under the cover of darkness. A practical local tip is to focus on areas with submerged structure, such as fallen trees or rocky outcrops. Catfish are opportunistic feeders, and they often congregate in these areas to ambush prey. Be aware that access to some of these waters may be limited, and you may need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to reach them. The catfish in these waters are generally opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits, from chicken liver to nightcrawlers, can be effective.
