Channel Catfish
If you're after Channel Catfish in Arkansas, Sedgwick offers some fantastic freshwater opportunities. The Black River, which flows nearby, is a prime location to target these whiskered fish. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are generally considered peak season, as catfish are actively feeding to regain their strength. Look for submerged logs, undercut banks, and deeper holes in the river, as these are prime catfish hangouts. A classic catfish rig with a circle hook, weight, and your favorite stink bait or cut bait is a reliable choice. For shore access, try fishing near bridge crossings or public access points along the Black River. Be aware that the river levels can fluctuate, especially after heavy rains, so check local conditions before heading out. Also, keep an eye out for snakes; they are common along the riverbanks.
