Catfishing on the Red is in summer pattern all the way. The catfish are in most traditional summer spots but seem to not be in deep holes. The best fishing is in troughs or snags near deeper water. It is apparent that that sitting on a spot a bit longer is in order as most bites come at about minute 15-20. In the evening and at night they are moving out onto the flats or current seams above the troughs and feeding hard. All baits are working, sucker is producing the best action, bigger fish are coming on goldeye, and if a frog is in the right place they will take that too. The best thing to do right now is just go fishing, try different spots and baits until you find what is working on a particular day.
When boating below the dams at Grand Forks and Drayton pay extra attention as the water levels are getting on the low side. Both are very navigable but for safety exercise caution.
