Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish offer a fun and accessible fishing opportunity near Midvale. Many of the nearby reservoirs, like Utah Lake, and even sections of the Jordan River hold decent populations of catfish. Utah Lake is a particularly good option, given its size and the muddy bottom that catfish prefer. The best time to target catfish is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, especially during the evening and night hours when they are most active. Use stink baits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. A local tip: Utah Lake can get weedy during the summer, so consider using a weedless rig. Also, be aware that Utah Lake is shallow in many areas, so pay attention to your depth finder if you're using a boat. Expect to catch a range of sizes, with some catfish reaching impressive weights in Utah Lake.
