Channel Catfish
If you're looking to catch channel catfish near Jerome, Arizona, you'll need to venture beyond the immediate mountainous terrain. While Jerome itself doesn't offer prime catfishing locations, the Verde River and the reservoirs in the surrounding Verde Valley are your best bet. These waterways hold decent populations of channel cats, and they can be a fun and accessible target for anglers of all skill levels. Summer is the peak season for catfishing, as the warmer water temperatures increase their activity. Use traditional catfish baits like stinkbaits, chicken liver, or nightcrawlers. Fish near the bottom in deeper holes and along submerged structure. A local tip: focus on areas near the river channel or creek inlets for the best results. Be prepared for warm weather and bring plenty of water. The catfish in this region are generally of moderate size, but they offer a good fight and are a tasty meal.
