Flathead Catfish
For flathead catfish enthusiasts, Adona, Arkansas, presents some excellent opportunities. The South Fourche LaFave River, with its deep holes and abundant cover, is a prime location for targeting these whiskered giants. Summer is peak season, as the flatheads become more active in warmer water. Live bait is the key to success, with bream, shad, and large shiners being local favorites. Focus on fishing near submerged logs, undercut banks, and deep pools. A heavy-duty rod and reel, spooled with at least 50-pound test line, is essential to handle these powerful fish. One local tip: many anglers have success fishing at night, as flatheads are primarily nocturnal predators. Be sure to have a good light source and be aware of your surroundings. Also, be prepared for a potential long wait – flathead fishing requires patience, but the reward of landing a trophy-sized fish is well worth the effort.
