Flathead Catfish
While North Dakota isn't traditionally known as a Flathead Catfish destination, the Red River near Amenia offers a unique opportunity to target these whiskered giants. The Red River's muddy waters and abundant forage provide ideal habitat for Flatheads to thrive. Summer nights are the best time to target them, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. Look for deep holes, particularly near outside bends in the river and around submerged woody debris. Live bait is key; bullheads, sunfish, or even large creek chubs are highly effective. Be prepared for a fight, as Flatheads are powerful fish. Access to the Red River can be challenging in some areas. Public access points are limited, so scouting beforehand is essential. Consider using a sturdy rod and reel, as well as heavy line, to handle the potential size of these fish. Remember to check local regulations regarding baitfish and size limits.
