Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish in northwest Arkansas, Greenland is a great place to start. The White River runs nearby, offering excellent catfish habitat, but don't overlook the smaller creeks and ponds in the area. These smaller bodies of water can hold surprisingly large cats, especially after a good rain. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the catfish become more active with the warming water and start spawning. Look for them in deeper holes near submerged logs or rocky structures. For a local tip, try using cut bait or stink bait fished on a Carolina rig. Many anglers also find success using live nightcrawlers. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits before you head out. Access to some areas may be limited, so scouting ahead is always a good idea. You'll find that the catfish in this region are generally healthy and put up a good fight.
