Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish are a staple for anglers in the Oxford, Arkansas, area, and for good reason. The Spring River and its tributaries offer excellent Channel Catfish habitat. These fish are opportunistic feeders and can be caught using a variety of methods. The best time to target them is from late spring through fall, particularly after a rain when the water is slightly stained. Night fishing can also be very productive. Worms, stink baits, and cut bait are all effective choices. Check out the access points near the Highway 58 bridge for bank fishing opportunities. Boat access is available further downstream. The Channel Catfish in this area are known for their good eating quality, making them a popular target for both recreational and sustenance anglers. Be sure to check local regulations for size and creel limits.
