Channel Catfish
Rogers, Arkansas, offers some surprisingly good channel catfish opportunities in the impoundments of Northwest Arkansas. Beaver Lake is a prime spot, known for its deep, clear waters that hold some hefty cats. While they can be caught year-round, the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the most productive. Look for catfish around submerged timber, rocky points, and creek channels, especially after a good rain. A local tip: many anglers have success fishing near the Highway 12 bridge on the White River arm of Beaver Lake. Cut bait, nightcrawlers, and prepared catfish baits are all effective. Don't overlook smaller bodies of water like Lake Elmdale either; these can be easier to navigate and often hold good numbers of smaller, but still fun-to-catch, channel cats. Remember that Beaver Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly.
