Channel Catfish
Channel catfish provide a reliable fishing option near South Tucson, with several accessible locations holding decent populations. Community fishing lakes and the Santa Cruz River (when flowing) offer opportunities. Spring and summer are excellent times, particularly after rainfall when the fish become more active. A simple but effective technique is fishing with stinkbait or nightcrawlers on a Carolina rig. Many anglers fish after dark, when the catfish are most active. Be aware of the urban environment; choose your fishing spot carefully and respect private property. The catfish in these waters may be exposed to pollutants, so consider practicing catch and release, especially with larger fish. Always check for posted regulations regarding bait restrictions and fishing hours.
