Flathead Catfish
Flathead catfish in the Sharon, North Dakota region present a unique angling challenge. While not as prevalent as in more southern states, these ambush predators can be found in the larger river systems connected to the Missouri River watershed. The key to success here is targeting deep holes and areas with heavy cover, such as submerged logs or rock piles. Flatheads are primarily nocturnal, so fishing after dark is often the most productive. Live bait is the name of the game – bullheads, green sunfish, or even large creek chubs are excellent choices. Be prepared for a long wait, as flatheads are patient hunters. Summer and early fall are the peak seasons. Access to these rivers can be tricky, so research public access points and boat ramps beforehand. Be mindful of local regulations regarding baitfish and size limits. Landing a flathead in this region is a rewarding experience for any dedicated catfish angler.
