Channel Catfish
Channel catfish provide a great fishing option around Williams, Arizona, especially if you're looking for a relaxing and productive outing. Lakes like Kaibab Lake and Dogtown Lake hold populations of channel cats. Summer evenings and nights are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active in the cooler temperatures. Use traditional catfish baits like nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercially prepared stink baits. Focus your efforts near the bottom, especially around submerged structure or areas with current. A simple slip-sinker rig is often all you need. Many anglers find success fishing from shore at Kaibab Lake Campground. Remember to bring a good light for night fishing and be aware of any fire restrictions. Also, check Arizona fishing regulations for catfish size and bag limits before you go.
