Flathead Catfish
Targeting Flathead Catfish in Fairbanks, Alaska, is not a viable fishing strategy. Flathead Catfish are warm-water fish that cannot survive in the cold climate of interior Alaska. The rivers and lakes around Fairbanks simply do not provide the necessary water temperatures or habitat for Flathead Catfish to thrive. You won't find them here. Instead, focus your angling efforts on species native to the region, such as Arctic Grayling, Salmon (depending on the season), and Rainbow Trout. These species are abundant in the Chena River and other local waterways, offering a much more realistic and rewarding fishing experience. Save your catfish dreams for warmer climates!
