Flathead Catfish
Flathead catfish in North Dakota? While not as abundant as in more southern states, there are indeed some flathead catfish to be found in the larger river systems near Kramer. The Souris River, for example, could hold flatheads. Targeting them requires patience and specialized gear. Focus on areas with deep holes, submerged logs, and rocky structures. Live bait, such as bullheads or large minnows, is your best bet. Summer nights are prime time for flathead fishing, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. Be aware that access to some of these river stretches can be challenging, often requiring a four-wheel-drive vehicle or a bit of a hike. The flathead population in this area is not heavily fished, so you might encounter some surprisingly large specimens if you put in the effort. Check North Dakota fishing regulations for specific rules regarding catfish fishing, including size and possession limits.
