Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some excellent channel catfishing, Ramona, South Dakota, offers some great opportunities. The area is dotted with smaller lakes and ponds, and the nearby Big Sioux River provides consistent action. Anglers often find success in the warmer months, from late spring through summer and into early fall. Focus on areas with submerged structure, like fallen trees or rocky outcroppings, as catfish tend to congregate there. A local tip: many of the smaller lakes have limited public access, so be sure to research access points beforehand and respect private property. The Big Sioux River offers several public access points, but be mindful of water levels, especially after heavy rains. The catfish in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and decent size, making for a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
