Flathead Catfish
If you're targeting flathead catfish in the Garner, Arkansas area, you're in for a treat. The Cache River and its associated bayous offer prime habitat for these whiskered giants. What makes this area special is the abundance of natural structure – think submerged timber, deep holes, and undercut banks – all holding potential trophy flatheads. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they're actively feeding. Night fishing is particularly productive. For access, consider launching from the public ramp at the Highway 79 bridge over the Cache River; just be aware that water levels can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall. Local tip: Live bait, such as large sunfish or bullheads, is your best bet for enticing a big flathead. Be prepared for a fight – these fish are powerful!
