I have not been able to get out fishing very much the past few months so I decided to fish close to home. My buddy Jason told me the white bass and catfish were biting at the Jordan River so I had to go give it a try. I ended up catching some white bass, including this monster!
This white bass is the same fish in the first photo! I caught the bass with a Joe's Flies and Lure: Trout poacher.
I went back to the Jordan River a few days later with Jason and caught some real nice Channel Cats!
This channel catfish was 23" long. I'm not sure how much it weighed!
This is a 21" channel catfish!
Jason and I caught all our catfish by putting bait on a hook and attaching a bobber to the the line. It can't get simpler then that!
JOE'S TIP OF THE DAY
In Utah Lake and the Jordan River, it is legal to use white bass for bait. To catch the catfish, we caught a white bass and cut it up for bait. Within a few minutes of having white bass on our hook, we had our first fish! Remember to always check the regulations for the body of water you are fishing at.
