Flathead Catfish
Flathead catfish are a lesser-known, but potentially rewarding, target in the waterways near Pisek, North Dakota. While not as abundant as channel catfish, flatheads lurk in the deeper holes and undercuts of the Pembina River and its tributaries. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with the peak activity occurring during the pre-spawn period in late spring and early summer. Look for areas with current breaks, submerged logs, and other structure where flatheads can ambush prey. Live bait, such as bullheads or large shiners, is the preferred method. Be prepared for a fight, as flatheads are powerful fish. Access to the Pembina River can be limited, so scouting for public access points or contacting local landowners for permission is essential. Be aware of changing water levels, especially after heavy rains, as this can impact fishing conditions.
