Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target in the waters surrounding Noonan, North Dakota, particularly in local reservoirs and slower-moving sections of streams. While not trophy-sized, these catfish provide consistent action throughout the warmer months. Focus on areas with deeper water, such as creek channels or the base of dams. Summer evenings and nights are prime time for catfish. A simple bottom rig with stinkbait, cut bait, or nightcrawlers is a proven method. When targeting channel catfish in these reservoirs, pay attention to wind direction. Catfish often congregate on the windward side of the lake, where the wind pushes baitfish and other food sources. Access to these waters is generally good, with several public access points and boat ramps available. Always check local regulations regarding size and creel limits before fishing.
