Channel Catfish
Channel catfish fishing near Syracuse, Utah, can be surprisingly good, particularly in the warmer months. Your best bet is to target the larger reservoirs like Willard Bay. Catfish thrive in these environments, especially during the summer when water temperatures rise. Look for them near submerged structure, rocky bottoms, and channels. Night fishing is especially productive. Summer (June-August) is peak season. For a local tip, try using stink baits or cut bait fished on the bottom with a Carolina rig. Many anglers have success near the inlet and outlet areas of Willard Bay. Be prepared for some bigger fish; while smaller catfish are common, you have a decent chance of landing cats in the 5-10 pound range, with even larger ones possible. Be sure to check current regulations on size and bag limits before you go.
