Flathead Catfish
Everton, Arkansas, isn't necessarily the first place that comes to mind for trophy flathead catfish, but the Buffalo National River, which isn't too far from Everton, holds some surprisingly large fish. Targeting them requires some dedication, as the Buffalo is a clear, relatively shallow river. Look for deep holes near log jams, bluffs, or any significant structure that provides cover. Live bait is key – sunfish or bullheads are local favorites. Summer nights are the best time to target flatheads, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. Access can be challenging in some areas; consider launching a kayak or canoe for better access to remote stretches of the river. Remember that the Buffalo is a National River, so adhere to all regulations regarding fishing licenses and gear restrictions. Flatheads in the Buffalo tend to be solitary ambush predators, so persistence is key.
