Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish provide a fun and accessible fishing option near Aneta, North Dakota. While not a renowned catfish destination, the Sheyenne River, which flows nearby, and some of the larger lakes hold populations of these whiskered predators. Look for catfish in deeper holes, near submerged logs, or along rocky banks. Summer is the best time to target them, especially during the evening and nighttime hours when they are most active. A simple bait rig with stink bait, nightcrawlers, or cut bait is usually all you need. Lake Ashtabula, south of Aneta, is another option, where catfish can be found near the dam or in the river channel. A practical tip: be prepared for mosquitoes, especially at night. Also, check the river levels before you go, as high water can make fishing more challenging. Remember to handle catfish carefully to avoid being finned.
