Flathead Catfish
If you're after a true river monster, the flathead catfish in the waterways around Clio, Alabama, should be on your radar. The Chattahoochee River, which forms part of Alabama's border with Georgia, is prime flathead territory. These fish thrive in the deep holes and around submerged logs and structure that the river provides. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are actively feeding. Night fishing is particularly effective. A key tactic is using live bait – bream or bullheads are local favorites. Be aware that river access can be limited in some areas, so scouting for public access points or boat ramps is crucial. Also, pay attention to water levels, as heavy rains can impact fishing conditions significantly. These flatheads can get massive, so be prepared for a serious fight!
