Channel Catfish
Abercrombie, North Dakota, offers some surprisingly good channel catfish angling, especially in the Wild Rice River. This winding river, along with the area's slower-moving creeks, provides ideal habitat for catfish to thrive. Anglers often find success using traditional catfish baits like nightcrawlers, stink baits, and cut bait. The prime time for catfishing here is from late spring through summer, particularly after a good rain when the river is slightly stained. A local's trick is to target the deeper holes and bends in the river, especially near submerged logs or brush piles. Access to the river is available at various bridge crossings and public access points, but be prepared for some bank fishing, as boat access can be limited depending on water levels. The Wild Rice River's catfish are known for being scrappy fighters, offering a fun challenge for anglers of all skill levels. Don't overlook this often-overlooked fishery!
