Few fisheries in North America produce giant fish like the legendary Red River flowing into Lake Winnipeg. In this episode of **Lindner's Angling Edge**, James Lindner heads to the famous waters below Lockport Dam to experience one of the **best channel catfish fisheries in the world**.
With powerful river current and incredible numbers of trophy fish, the Red River offers nonstop action. Using classic catfish rigs, fresh cut bait, and precise boat positioning, James demonstrates exactly how anglers can consistently catch big channel cats in this world-class fishery.
Along the way, you'll learn:
• How to rig a classic **catfish ledger rig**
• The best **cut bait and shrimp presentations** for channel cats
• How to position your boat in **current seams and drop-offs**
• Why **no-roll sinkers** are critical in strong current
• How to use **float drifting** to cover large stretches of river
• The gear needed to handle powerful Red River catfish
These fish pull hard, fight deep, and often exceed 20 pounds—making every hookup a battle you won’t forget.
If you love big fish, powerful fights, and learning proven techniques, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
