Channel Catfish
Looking for some catfish action near South Jordan? While not a renowned catfish destination, several local waters hold populations of channel catfish that can provide a fun and accessible fishing experience. The Jordan River, though often overlooked, can hold decent-sized catfish in its deeper pools and slower-moving sections. Smaller ponds and reservoirs in the area, such as those found in some community parks, are also occasionally stocked with catfish. Summer is the best time to target them, especially at night. Use stink baits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. Access to the Jordan River is available at various points along the Jordan River Parkway Trail. Be aware of potential snags and debris in the river. These catfish might not be giants, but they offer a convenient and enjoyable fishing opportunity close to home.
