Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish near Pringle, South Dakota, Angostura Reservoir is your best bet. This reservoir offers diverse habitat, including rocky shorelines, submerged timber, and muddy flats, all of which can hold catfish. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are ideal for targeting channel cats. They become more active as the water warms up, and their feeding increases. Stinkbaits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective baits. A local tip: concentrate your efforts around submerged timber and rocky points, especially at night. Catfish are nocturnal feeders, and fishing after dark can be very productive. Also, be aware that Angostura Reservoir can get windy, so check the forecast before heading out. The channel catfish in Angostura are generally healthy, with some reaching impressive sizes. Look for fish in the 5-10 pound range, with larger specimens possible.
