Channel Catfish
Channel catfish offer a consistent fishing option in the vicinity of Mammoth, Arizona, particularly in the Gila River and the larger reservoirs in the area. They're a reliable target throughout much of the year, but spring and fall typically provide the best action as water temperatures moderate. Focus your efforts on areas with current, such as river bends and inflows to reservoirs. Stinkbaits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait are all effective choices for channel catfish. Fishing near structure, such as submerged logs and rock piles, can also increase your chances of success. Many anglers find that fishing at night or during low-light conditions yields the best results. Public access points along the Gila River are available, but be prepared for potentially rocky terrain. The channel catfish in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different baits until you find what they're biting on. A medium-heavy rod and reel spooled with 15-20 pound test line is generally sufficient for handling most of the channel catfish you'll encounter. Be aware of potential flash flood conditions, especially during the monsoon season.
