Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish in the Alexander, Arkansas area, the Saline River is your best bet. This river system is known for producing some impressive flatheads. Summer is the peak season, especially during the warmer nights. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus your efforts around structure like fallen trees, deep holes, and bridge pilings. Live bait is essential – think large sunfish or bullheads. Many anglers use heavy tackle and set up near these structures, fishing on the bottom. Be prepared for a strong fight! Access to the Saline River can be found at various bridge crossings and informal access points along its banks. However, be cautious of private property and always respect posted signs. Check river levels before you go, as high water can make fishing difficult and dangerous. A sturdy rod holder is highly recommended, as the wait for a bite can be long, but the reward is well worth it.
