Channel Catfish
Lowell, Arkansas, provides a convenient base for anglers targeting channel catfish in the region's freshwater lakes and rivers. Beaver Lake is a prime spot, offering ample opportunities for catching channel cats. These whiskered fish are especially active during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, rocky points, and creek channels. Night fishing is particularly productive, as channel catfish are nocturnal feeders. A simple but effective setup includes a slip sinker rig baited with chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or commercially prepared catfish bait. For bank fishing access, check out the designated fishing areas at the lake. Remember to check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regulations for Beaver Lake regarding size and creel limits for channel catfish. A pro tip: chumming the water with range cubes can attract catfish to your fishing spot.
