Channel Catfish
For channel catfish near Lovell, Wyoming, Bighorn Lake offers the most consistent action. While not the first species that comes to mind in Wyoming, Bighorn Lake has a healthy population. The warmer months are ideal, with catfish activity peaking in the summer heat. Look for catfish around submerged timber, rocky points, and in the back of coves, especially at night. Using stink baits, cut bait, or live nightcrawlers on a Carolina rig is a proven method. Shore fishing opportunities are available in some areas, but a boat will significantly increase your access. Consider launching from the Barry's Landing boat ramp and exploring the coves along the western shore. Be aware of potential wind conditions on the open water of Bighorn Lake, as it can pick up quickly. Also, check Wyoming fishing regulations for any specific rules or size limits for channel catfish in Bighorn Lake. You might be surprised by the size of catfish lurking in these waters!
