Blue Catfish
Targeting Blue Catfish in Rogers, North Dakota, presents a unique challenge, as they are not as common here as in more southern states. However, persistent anglers can find them in the larger river systems. The Sheyenne River, while not renowned for its catfish, could potentially hold some surprises. Focus on deeper holes and areas with structure, such as submerged logs or rock piles. The best time to target Blue Catfish in this region is during the warmer months, particularly late summer and early fall. As the water cools slightly, the catfish become more active as they prepare for winter. Using cut bait, such as sucker or goldeye, is generally the most effective approach. Heavy tackle is essential, as even smaller Blue Catfish can put up a strong fight. Access to the Sheyenne River can be found at various bridge crossings and public access points, but be prepared for some hiking to reach the more secluded spots. Check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and fishing licenses. Success might not be guaranteed, but the reward of landing a Blue Catfish in this area makes the effort worthwhile.
