Channel Catfish
While not the first species that comes to mind when thinking of mountain fishing, channel catfish are present in Pineview Reservoir near Huntsville, Utah, offering a unique angling opportunity. The best time to target catfish is during the warmer months, from late spring through summer, when water temperatures are highest. They tend to be most active at night, so plan your trips accordingly. Focus on areas with structure, such as submerged timber, rocky points, and the dam face. A local trick is to fish near the inlet of the Ogden River, as catfish are attracted to the inflow of fresh water. Common catfish baits like nightcrawlers, chicken liver, and prepared catfish dough baits all work well. Be aware that Pineview can get crowded during the day, so night fishing offers a more peaceful experience. The catfish in Pineview aren't known to reach enormous sizes, but a consistent bite and the chance to catch a different species make it a worthwhile pursuit. Check local regulations regarding size and possession limits. Using a fish finder to locate submerged structure can significantly improve your chances of success.
