Flathead Catfish
While Flathead Catfish aren't traditionally associated with Alaska, targeting them near McGrath would be an adventurous pursuit focusing on the warmer months. The Kuskokwim River, although better known for salmon, might hold surprises in its deeper, slower-moving sections. Flatheads prefer warmer waters and tend to congregate near structures like fallen trees and deep holes. Summer, particularly late June through August, presents the best opportunity when water temperatures are at their peak. Given the northern location, be prepared for challenging conditions and remote access. A practical tip is to focus on areas where smaller tributaries enter the Kuskokwim, as these often provide warmer water and attract baitfish. Use heavy tackle and live bait such as smaller fish or cut bait, as flatheads are ambush predators. Given the remoteness, thorough research and preparation are crucial before embarking on a flathead catfish expedition near McGrath.
