CROWNPOINT, NM – On August 6, 2022, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ held its annual catfish tournament in Ganado Lake, AZ.
Catfish anglers made waves over the weekend in Ganado Lake, Arizona. George LaFrance of NTU finished registration and payments from 5 am to 8 am. The official fishing competition began at 8 am, with anglers allowed to fish until 7 pm. The final measurements and weigh-ins occur from the start to the final at 6 p.m. Opportunities for giant catfish often attract anglers to this area.
