Flathead Catfish
The flathead catfish population around Evening Shade, Arkansas, is healthy, thanks to the abundance of suitable habitat in the surrounding rivers, particularly the Strawberry River. This smaller river feeds into the Black River and offers a more intimate fishing experience. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time for targeting flatheads. They are ambush predators, so focus your efforts on areas with plenty of cover, such as submerged logs, rock piles, and undercut banks. A local tip is to target the areas where the Strawberry River flows into the Black River as these areas often hold larger flatheads. Access to the Strawberry River can be limited in some areas, so scouting for public access points or considering a guided trip is recommended. Flatheads in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a good fight. Night fishing is especially productive, as flatheads are most active under the cover of darkness.
