Channel Catfish
Channel catfish fishing near Blanding, Utah, requires a bit of a drive but can be rewarding. While not immediately adjacent to Blanding, reservoirs like Recapture Reservoir and smaller ponds in the area can hold catfish. The San Juan River, further to the south, also presents opportunities. Summer is the prime time for catfishing, especially during the warmer evenings and nights. Traditional catfish baits like chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and commercially prepared stinkbaits work well. A useful local tip is to inquire at the local sporting goods stores in Blanding about recent fishing reports and which baits are proving most effective. Also, be mindful of the desert environment; bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and insect repellent, especially when fishing at night. The catfish in this region are typically smaller, but the solitude and beautiful scenery make for a memorable fishing experience.
