Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish in the Florence, Arizona area thrive in the network of canals and smaller lakes that crisscross the landscape. These waterways offer a surprising abundance of catfish, often overlooked by anglers targeting other species. The best time to fish for channel catfish is during the warmer months (May-September), especially at night. Catfish are nocturnal feeders, so baiting up with stink baits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers after dark can produce excellent results. Look for areas with deeper water, current breaks, and structure such as submerged logs or rocks. A simple Carolina rig is a reliable method for presenting bait on the bottom. Access to the canals is generally good, but be respectful of private property. The catfish in these waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different baits to find what works best on a given day. Be prepared for some surprises; you never know when you might hook into a larger catfish lurking in the depths.
