Flathead Catfish
While Koyukuk, Alaska isn't exactly known as a catfish hotspot, dedicated anglers might be surprised by the potential for Flathead Catfish in the deeper, slower sections of the Koyukuk River. This far north, Flatheads are at the edge of their range, so don't expect trophy-sized fish. Focus your efforts during the warmest months, July and August, when the water temperature peaks. Look for areas with submerged timber and deep holes where these fish might seek refuge. Access can be challenging, often requiring a boat or float plane to reach the most promising spots. A local tip: Pack plenty of insect repellent, as the Alaskan summers can bring swarms of mosquitoes. Given the remote location, bring all necessary gear and be prepared for self-sufficiency. The Flatheads here will be smaller and grow slower than their southern cousins, but the unique experience of catching one in the Alaskan wilderness is worth the effort.
