Channel Catfish
Medina, North Dakota, and the surrounding lakes and rivers offer good channel catfish opportunities. Local anglers often target them in Lake Williams and the smaller impoundments in the area. Channel cats thrive in these waters, offering a relatively consistent fishery. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are ideal. Catfish are most active at night, so consider fishing after dark. A simple slip-sinker rig with stink bait, cut bait, or nightcrawlers is a proven method. Access to Lake Williams is readily available with public boat ramps. A local tip: try fishing near the submerged timber and creek channels within the lake; these areas hold plenty of cats. The channel catfish in this region are known for their decent size, with some reaching impressive weights. Be sure to have a good net and a strong line!
