Channel Catfish
For channel catfish anglers, Maumelle, Arkansas, offers consistent action, particularly in Lake Maumelle. This lake is well-stocked and provides plenty of habitat for channel cats to thrive. Look for them around submerged timber, rocky points, and along the dam face. Night fishing is especially effective during the warmer months. Using stink baits, chicken liver, or nightcrawlers are all reliable choices. A local tip: try fishing near the Little Maumelle River inlet, as this area often attracts catfish seeking cooler, oxygenated water. Also, be mindful of the lake's boat traffic, especially on weekends. Several public boat ramps provide easy access to the lake. Remember to check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regulations for size and creel limits to ensure you are fishing legally.
