Flathead Catfish
If you're seeking a trophy flathead catfish, Conway, Arkansas, offers access to the Arkansas River, a known hotspot for these whiskered giants. The Arkansas River's deep holes, log jams, and rocky structure provide ideal habitat for flatheads. Summer and early fall are the prime times to target them, as they become more active in warmer water. Live bait, such as bream or shad, is essential for enticing these predators. Local anglers often have success fishing near bridge pilings and river bends. Be prepared for a long wait, as flathead fishing often requires patience. Several boat ramps along the Arkansas River near Conway offer convenient access. Flathead catfish in this area can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 50 pounds not uncommon. Strong tackle and a sturdy rod holder are a must when targeting these powerful fish.
