Flathead Catfish
Flathead catfish in the Noonan, North Dakota area present a unique angling challenge. While not as abundant as in some southern states, these whiskered giants can still be found in larger bodies of water like the Souris River (Mouse River), which is located a short drive to the east. Targeting them requires patience and specialized gear. The best time to pursue flatheads is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with the peak often occurring in the heat of summer. Fish tend to be most active at night. Look for areas with deep holes, submerged timber, or near the base of dams. Live bait, such as bullheads or large creek chubs, is your best bet. Be prepared for a fight – flatheads are powerful fish. Access to the Souris River is available at several points along its course. Check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits before heading out.
