Channel Catfish
If you're looking for channel catfish near Loa, Utah, Otter Creek Reservoir is your best bet, though it's not a renowned catfish destination. While not abundant, they are present and can provide a fun change of pace. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, particularly summer nights. Focus your efforts near the dam, in deeper holes, and along the submerged river channel. Use traditional catfish baits like nightcrawlers, stink baits, or cut bait. A practical tip: check the reservoir's water level before you go, as low water can concentrate the fish but also make access more challenging. Be prepared for cooler nights at this high-elevation reservoir. While the catfish may not be huge, landing one in this setting is a memorable experience.
