Flathead Catfish
Flathead catfish in the Red River near Conway, North Dakota, offer a unique and exciting fishing opportunity. Targeting these nocturnal predators requires patience and the right approach. The best time to fish for flatheads is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with the peak season being July and August. Focus your efforts on deep holes, channel edges, and areas with submerged timber or other structure. Live bait, such as bullheads or large shiners, is essential. A heavy-duty rod and reel are a must, as flatheads can grow to impressive sizes. A local tip: fishing at night is often the most productive time to target flatheads. Bank access is available at several points along the Red River near Conway, but a boat provides greater access to prime fishing locations. The flathead catfish in this region are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights, making them a prized catch for anglers seeking a challenge.
