Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some whiskered action in North Dakota, Alamo is a surprisingly good spot for channel catfish. The key here is the ample access to the Upper Missouri River system, specifically Lake Sakakawea and its tributaries. While not as famous as other catfish hotspots, this area offers relatively unpressured fishing. The best time to target channel cats near Alamo is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They're most active at dusk and dawn, feeding in shallower water. Look for them around submerged timber, rocky points, and creek mouths. A local tip: many anglers have success fishing the Van Hook Arm area of Lake Sakakawea. For bank access, check out the public access points along Highway 8, but be prepared for some walking. The channel catfish in this region tend to be healthy and robust, often exceeding several pounds, so bring your heavier gear.
