Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish near Kaysville, Utah, you'll need to explore some of the larger bodies of water in the vicinity. Willard Bay Reservoir is a reliable option. Catfish tend to congregate in deeper areas with structure, such as submerged timber or channels. Summer is the peak season for catfishing, as the warmer water temperatures increase their activity levels. Use a variety of baits, including nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercially prepared catfish baits. Fishing near the bottom is key, so use a Carolina rig or a three-way swivel rig to keep your bait in the strike zone. A local tip: try fishing at night, as catfish are primarily nocturnal feeders. Look for areas near creek inlets or areas with a muddy bottom, as these tend to hold more catfish. Be prepared for some tough fighting, as catfish in Willard Bay can reach decent sizes. Check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out.
