Channel Catfish
Copperton might be known for its mining history, but it also provides access to some decent channel catfish opportunities. While you won't find cats directly in town, a short drive will put you on the banks of the Jordan River or near the larger reservoirs to the south and west. The Jordan River, though urbanized, holds a surprising number of channel cats, especially in deeper holes and near structure. Summer is undoubtedly the best time to target catfish, with warm water activating their feeding. Use classic catfish baits like nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercially prepared stink baits. Focus your efforts in the evening and overnight hours when catfish are most active. For the Jordan River, access points are scattered along its length, but be mindful of private property. If you're fishing the reservoirs, look for areas with submerged timber or rocky points. A local trick is to pre-bait your fishing spot for a few days before you plan to fish, this can significantly increase your chances of success. Be sure to check current fishing regulations for size and bag limits.
