Channel Catfish
If you're heading to Mountain View, Arkansas, and have a hankering for some whiskered action, the channel catfish fishing can be quite rewarding. The White River, which carves its way through the Ozark Mountains near Mountain View, is a prime location. Anglers also find success in the area's smaller lakes and reservoirs. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are particularly productive times to target channel cats, as they're actively feeding. Another great time is late summer into early fall when they are bulking up before winter. For bank access, try areas along the White River near Blanchard Springs. A simple slip-sinker rig with stinkbait, nightcrawlers, or cut bait works wonders. Be aware that water levels on the White River can fluctuate rapidly due to dam releases, so check generation schedules before heading out. The catfish in this area tend to be healthy and good-sized, making for some exciting battles.
