Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish in the Eagar area provide a fun and accessible fishing opportunity, particularly during the warmer months. While Eagar isn't necessarily known as a catfish hotspot, several local reservoirs and waterways hold decent populations. The best time to target them is from late spring through summer (May-August), especially after rainfall when the water is slightly murky. Focus your efforts in the evening or at night, as catfish are primarily nocturnal feeders. Try using stink baits, chicken liver, or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. One practical tip: check out the Little Colorado River near Eagar; while it may be low in places, deeper pools can hold catfish. Remember to always check local fishing regulations and obtain the necessary permits before fishing. Catfish in this area tend to be on the smaller side, typically under 5 pounds, but they can still provide a good fight and a tasty meal.
