Curious if there are any areas on the river where people have had the most luck catching this species. Thank you for your time.

they used to be "common" in the tailrace, about 60 miles north of Bismarck. Then, for the past 20 or so years, they've been scarce. I understand that they're making a comeback, but I haven't caught one in years. They're also known around these parts, as Ling, and Eelpout.
