Channel Catfish
Channel catfish anglers in Haskell, Arkansas, have several options for wetting a line. While the Saline River is nearby, smaller lakes and ponds often provide more consistent action. Lake Norrell is a viable option, offering a mix of bank fishing and boat access. Target deeper holes and areas with submerged structure, especially near the dam. Summer nights are particularly good for catfish, as they become more active after dark. Use traditional catfish baits like stink bait, chicken liver, or nightcrawlers. A local tip: try fishing near the discharge of any creeks or streams that flow into the lake; these areas often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, catfish. The catfish in Lake Norrell tend to be a good average size, with the occasional larger fish caught. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits before you head out.
