High Desert Outdoors

☀️ High Desert Summer = Catfish Season! 🎣

​Nothing beats beating the summer heat like heading down to the water and pulling up a absolute unit of a channel cat! 🏜️🐟
​The sun is beaming, the water is warm, and the catfish are biting. When the high desert temperatures climb, these bottom-feeders get active. Whether you're fishing the rivers or hitting the local reservoirs at dusk, now is the prime time to get your lines in the water.
​Shoutout to our community members out there putting in the work and landing beauties like this one! 👇
​Quick Summer Catfishing Tips for the High Desert:
​Go Deep or Go Night: During midday heat, look for deep holes or shady structures. Better yet, try night fishing when they move shallow to feed!
​Follow the Scent: Punch bait, cut bait, or chicken liver work wonders when the water warms up.

​It is calving season out in the high desert, and our trail cameras caught this beautiful elk cow keeping a close eye on her brand-new calf as the woods wake up.
