Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Minto, North Dakota, requires a bit of dedication, but the rewards can be substantial. The Red River, which flows nearby, is the primary waterway to focus on. While not renowned for monster flatheads, you can find respectable fish here. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with the peak being the heat of summer. A crucial tip is to fish near structures like submerged logs, rock piles, and deep holes. Live bait, such as bullheads or large creek chubs, is your best bet. Access to the Red River can be found at various public access points and boat ramps along its course. Be prepared for some challenging conditions, as the river can have strong currents and fluctuating water levels. Check local fishing reports for current conditions and water levels before heading out. Also, be aware of any specific regulations regarding catfish fishing on the Red River.
