Channel Catfish
Channel catfish in the Star Valley Ranch area are most commonly found in the deeper pools of the Salt River. While not a trophy catfish destination, you can find some respectable fish, especially during the warmer months. The best time to target them is from late spring through summer, with the peak bite often occurring at night. Stink baits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective. Focus your efforts around structure like submerged logs, rock piles, and undercut banks. Accessing the river can be challenging in places, but there are a few public access points. Check with local anglers for tips on specific locations. Be aware that the Salt River can experience significant fluctuations in water level, especially during irrigation season, so be sure to check conditions before heading out.
