Blue Catfish
While North Dakota isn't typically known for its Blue Catfish, some reservoirs near Wimbledon do hold populations of these whiskered giants. Your best bet is to target larger bodies of water, although specific locations are often closely guarded secrets among local anglers. Summer is the prime time for blue catfish, as the water is warmest and the fish are most active. They are generally found in deeper water near structure. Look for submerged channels, humps, and drop-offs. Local tip: check with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department for information on specific lakes known to hold blue catfish and any regulations regarding their harvest. Be prepared with heavy tackle, as blue catfish can grow to impressive sizes. Cut bait, such as sucker or cisco, is a popular choice. Patience is key when targeting these elusive fish.
