Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish near Wooster, Arkansas, you've picked a good spot. The small rivers and creeks in the area, while perhaps not famous, hold healthy populations of channel cats. Focus your efforts on areas with deeper holes, log jams, or near bridge pilings – these spots provide cover and attract catfish. Night fishing is particularly effective, especially during the warmer months. Chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and commercially prepared stink baits are all popular choices. A local angler's trick: try fishing near where smaller creeks feed into larger streams, as these areas often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, catfish. Be sure to check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regulations for specific size and creel limits.
