If you're targeting channel catfish in Haworth, Oklahoma, the Red River and its associated creeks are your best bet. This area offers a diverse habitat that supports a healthy catfish population. Look for areas with submerged timber, deep holes, and current breaks. The best time to fish for channel cats here is late spring through early fall, particularly after a good rain, which washes fresh scent into the water. Stink baits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective. A local tip is to try fishing near the Highway 70 bridge over the Red River; the pilings and structure attract catfish. Be aware of strong currents, especially after heavy rainfall. The catfish here are known to be aggressive, providing a good fight for anglers of all skill levels.
