Channel Catfish
Silt, Colorado, might be better known for its mountain scenery, but the local channel catfish fishing shouldn't be overlooked. The Colorado River as it flows near Silt offers some surprisingly good catfishing opportunities. Focus your efforts in the deeper pools and near any submerged structure, especially after a good rain when the river is slightly turbid. While catfish can be caught year-round, the warmer months from late spring through summer offer the most consistent action, especially during the evening and nighttime hours. For bank access, try areas along Highway 6 where the river is accessible. Remember that river conditions can change rapidly, so always check water levels and be aware of your surroundings. Use heavier weights to keep your bait on the bottom in the current, and consider using stinkbaits or cut bait for best results. The catfish here aren't giants, but a few pounds of channel cat can make for a great meal.
