Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some whiskered action in southern Arizona, Huachuca City offers some surprisingly good channel catfish opportunities. While the area isn't known for massive lakes, the San Pedro River and smaller impoundments scattered around Cochise County hold decent populations. Spring and early summer, particularly after rainfall, are prime times as the cats become more active with the warmer water and increased flow. Try fishing near submerged structure like fallen trees or rocky outcroppings in the river. For the impoundments, look for areas near creek inlets or dam faces. A simple slip-sinker rig with stinkbait, nightcrawlers, or cut bait works well. Access to the San Pedro River is available at various points along Highway 90, but be mindful of private property. Remember that water levels can fluctuate dramatically, so check conditions before you go.
