Flathead Catfish

Various

For Flathead Catfish in the Flomaton area, the Conecuh River offers excellent opportunities. These whiskered giants thrive in the deep holes and around submerged structure of the river. Summer and early fall are the best times to target Flatheads, as they are most active in warmer water. Live bait is key – bream, shad, or even small bullheads are preferred. Look for areas with significant current breaks, such as outside bends in the river or near fallen trees. A popular access point is near the Highway 31 bridge, though be mindful of local regulations regarding parking and access. Fishing for Flatheads requires patience and heavy gear. These fish are powerful, and you'll need a sturdy rod and reel, along with heavy line. A local tactic is to fish at night, when Flatheads are most active. Be prepared for a long wait, but the reward of landing a trophy Flathead Catfish from the Conecuh River is well worth the effort.
