[#0000FF]Never say "never"...or "always"...in matters of fishing. Most of us who fish for catfish in Utah Lake have found that fresh bait...minnows, white bass or carp meat...will catch more and bigger cats than "unnatural" baits. However, there are plenty of folks who swear by stink baits and "unnatural baits" like chicken parts, hot dogs and other stuff not normally found on the fishes' menu.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Much of a catfish's diet depends on available food resources, water quality, activity levels and the amount of competition for food in their environment. When there is plenty of natural food, fish might be harder to coax into biting on bait. But when competitive fish populations are up and food resources are scarce the fish will expand their diet to include a lot of things they would normally pass up.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]There are very few things that have NOT caught catfish at one time or another. But at least in Utah Lake the healthy cat population has definitely shown a preference for fresher and more natural food.
