Hey Mr. Trout Lover, Most of Utah Lake is covered with a 4 ft. thick layer of silt, so, yes, there are plenty of snag free areas that you can drift troll or drift bait for Channel Cats. Not sure your technique, but several guys have been doing very well recently just putting the bait about a foot off the bottom using a bobber. If your bait rests on the bottom with a heavy sinker, it often gets lost in the muck at the bottom and is harder for them to find. If you can get it to suspend or settle just above the silt, you've got a recipe for success.
You could hit any of the marinas and cast out without fear of snagging bottom, as well as any dike, beach, or area except Lincoln Beach. Lincoln is well known for logs of snags, rocks, sticks, etc. However, it's arguably one of the best places for catfish on the entire lake.
