![]() Again, anywhere the current is a little slower and a place where food might gather is great place to find catfish. Catfish also like to hang out in holes where the water is a little deeper. The best time to catch catfish is late in the evening and early morning right before the sun comes up. Larger channels lose the black spots and also take on a blue-black coloration on the back, shading to white on the belly. The back is blue-gray with light blue to silvery-gray sides and a white belly. They have deeply forked tails with a rounded anal fin with 24-29 rays and scattered black spots along their back and sides. ![]() Crawdads, shrimp and clams can also be used.Ĭhannel Catfish were first introduced into the Colorado River near Moab, Utah in 1919 by active sportsman and public figure, Horace Stone Rutledge. Chicken livers, grasshoppers, worms and stink bait are popular baits for cat fishing. If catfish is your preference, the Colorado River offers miles of accessible shore line and many sandy beaches from which anglers can try their luck. While the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources stock these lakes annually, several have enough natural reproduction to provide an angler with both planted and native fish. Game fish within these lakes include Rainbow, Brown, Cutthroat and Brook trout. While the lakes are accessible by two-wheel drive vehicles during the summer months, periodically wet weather can at times make roads impassable. Eight lakes, ranging in size from 2 to 5 acres, are scattered amidst fir, spruce, tall quaking aspen and beautiful mountain meadows often colored with wild flowers. A sauce made up of butter, lemon juice, parsley, and toasted slivered almonds is then spooned over the top. The La Sal National Forest just a few miles Southeast of Moab offers many great opportunities for recreational angling with its many lakes and streams. To make trout almondine, seasoned trout is lightly dredged in flour and seared in a pan with olive oil until browned on both sides, about six minutes. Add the almonds and toast, stirring frequently, until they turn light tan, 3 to 5 minutes. Heat a large fry pan over medium-low heat. ![]() Whispering pines, quaking aspens, bubbling brooks, all of nature’s music harmonizes into a beautiful symphony making a family outing in the forest an unforgettable experience. Place the trout fillets on a plate and season on both sides with salt and pepper set aside. Great trout fishing can be found in the beautiful lakes and streams of the nearby La Sal Mountains.
