Flathead Catfish
Gaylesville, Alabama, and the surrounding Weiss Lake offer some excellent opportunities to target flathead catfish. These ambush predators thrive in the lake's structure-rich environment. Weiss Lake is formed by the Coosa River and has plenty of submerged timber and deep holes that flatheads love. Summer and early fall are the peak seasons for flathead fishing here. Live bait is the key, with bream and bullheads being local favorites. Target areas near the river channel, creek mouths, and deep holes with plenty of cover. Several public boat ramps provide access to the lake, including the one at the Cherokee County Park. Be prepared for a long wait, as flathead fishing often requires patience. These fish can reach impressive sizes, so make sure your gear is up to the task. Night fishing can be especially productive.
