Flathead Catfish
Flathead Catfish in the Arthur, North Dakota area are a more challenging, but rewarding, target. While the area isn't renowned for trophy flatheads, the Sheyenne River offers opportunities to tangle with these whiskered giants. The best time to target flatheads is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with the peak season being during their spawning period in late June and July. Focus on areas with deep holes, submerged logs, and undercut banks, which provide ideal ambush points for these nocturnal predators. Local knowledge is key. Talk to local bait shops for the most up-to-date information. Access to the Sheyenne River can be limited in some areas, so research public access points and consider using a small boat or canoe to reach more remote locations. Fresh cut bait, such as sucker or bullhead, is the go-to bait for flatheads in this region. Be prepared for a fight; these fish are powerful and can put up a serious battle.
