The big news this week is both ramps in Drayton ARE OPEN! That means that all ramps on the Red River are open and usable. Fishing this week has shifted to a full-on summer pattern. The fish are spread out and doing their summer catfish thing. They are sticking to holes that are near both […]

It appears we had a second spawn or late spawn this year. It really doesn’t matter but it is noticeable this week that we have a bunch more beat up and skinny fish. The bite continues to be good if not great all up and down the Red River. Water levels are down to what […]

Catfishing continues to be good but has slowed some over the past week. The heat and a water color variation has made fishing a little tougher but it is still outstanding. There are still many big fish around to be caught with many in the 14-16 pound range with some bigger. Since it got hot […]

And the big fish just keep coming all up and down the Red River. It seems that everywhere from Wahpeton to the Canadian Border is throwing great catfish. On big change the past couple day is that the fish have moved to the middle of the river in the faster water. When you get to […]

No rain for almost a week and the river is falling very very slowly. Right now the projections say we will get in next Sunday or Monday. At the fall rate it will be one day of looking around and GO time now that we are a full month behind on the season and will […]
