Flathead Catfish
If you're after a monster flathead, Fouke, Arkansas, offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The Sulphur River, which runs near Fouke, is a prime spot. The river's muddy bottom and abundant cover, like submerged logs and root systems, create ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Spring and early summer, as the water warms, is when the flatheads become most active, especially during their spawning season. Anglers often have success fishing at night using live bait like sunfish or bullheads. Be prepared for a fight, as these fish can get incredibly large! A local tip: check water levels before heading out, as the Sulphur can be prone to flooding after heavy rains. Access points are somewhat limited, so research public access areas or consider hiring a local guide who knows the river well. The flatheads here are known for their impressive size, with many exceeding 50 pounds.
