Flathead Catfish
If you're after a true river monster, Dyess, Arkansas, is a worthy destination for flathead catfish. The mighty Mississippi River is just a short drive away, offering prime flathead habitat, and the nearby St. Francis River also holds its share of these whiskered giants. Look for them around submerged logs, deep holes, and along the river bends where they ambush prey. Summer and early fall are generally the most productive times, as the water warms and the flatheads become more active. A key to success here is using live bait – big bream or bullheads are local favorites. Be prepared for strong currents, especially on the Mississippi. Access points are available at various public ramps along both rivers, but be sure to check local water levels before heading out; the rivers can fluctuate significantly. The flatheads in this region can reach impressive sizes, so bring heavy tackle and be ready for a fight!
