Flathead Catfish
If you're targeting flathead catfish in the Bisbee, North Dakota area, you'll primarily be focusing on the rivers and larger reservoirs that dot the landscape. While not as well-known as some Southern fisheries, the Sheyenne River and portions of Devils Lake offer surprisingly good flathead opportunities. The best time to target these whiskered giants is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Flatheads become more active as the water temperature rises, with the peak bite occurring during their spawning season in June and July. Focus on areas with submerged timber, deep holes, and current breaks, as these are prime ambush points for flatheads. A local tip: many anglers have success using live bait such as bullheads or large creek chubs. You'll find decent access points along Highway 5, but be prepared to do some exploring to find the less pressured spots. The flatheads here might not reach record sizes, but a 20-30 pounder is definitely within reach, offering a memorable battle.
