Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Fisher, Arkansas, means heading to the larger river systems. The St. Francis River is a great option, holding some truly impressive flatheads. Summer and early fall are the prime times to target these brutes, as the water warms and they become more active. Look for deep holes near structure such as fallen trees, bridge pilings, and rock ledges. Live bait is key for flatheads – large bluegill or bullheads are preferred. Fishing at night is often the most productive strategy. A popular access point is the St. Francis River near Marked Tree, AR, about a 20-minute drive from Fisher, where you can find several boat ramps. Be prepared for a tough fight; flatheads are known for their powerful runs and stubborn nature. Local tip: using a heavy-duty rod and reel with at least 50 lb test line is essential. The flatheads in this area can reach truly impressive sizes, with fish over 50 pounds being caught regularly.
