Blue Catfish
If you're after a heavyweight, Ute Lake near Logan, New Mexico, holds a healthy population of blue catfish. This large reservoir provides the ideal environment for these fish to thrive. The best time to target blue cats is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They tend to be more active at night, so consider night fishing if you're serious about landing a big one. A local tip is to use fresh cut bait – shad or carp are effective – fished on a Carolina rig near the bottom. Ute Lake has deep water and fluctuating levels, so use your electronics to locate channels, humps, and submerged structures where catfish congregate. Be prepared for a fight, as these fish can get quite large. Also, familiarize yourself with the New Mexico fishing regulations regarding size and possession limits for catfish before you head out.
