Channel Catfish
While Tusayan might be better known for its proximity to the Grand Canyon, dedicated anglers can find channel catfish in nearby waters. While options are limited near Tusayan itself, heading to larger reservoirs or rivers within a reasonable driving distance will be key. Look to bodies of water like Lake Powell or sections of the Colorado River for potential catfish hotspots. Spring and summer are typically the best times to target channel cats, especially after periods of rainfall that can wash nutrients into the water. Bait fishing is the name of the game; stink baits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait are all effective. Focus on areas with structure like submerged trees, rock piles, or channel edges. Be aware that water levels in these reservoirs can fluctuate, so check conditions before you go. Given the remoteness of the area, be prepared with extra supplies and let someone know your plans before heading out.
