Flathead Catfish
For flathead catfish near Grannis, Arkansas, the Cossatot River and its deeper pools are your primary target. This river system, known for its scenic beauty, also harbors some impressive flatheads. The unique aspect here is the clearer, rockier bottom compared to the muddy rivers further east, influencing the catfish's feeding habits. Peak season stretches from late spring through summer, when water temperatures are consistently warm. Night fishing is almost essential for consistent success. A local trick is to target the deeper holes near submerged logs or rock ledges, especially after a period of rain when the river is slightly stained. Access can be challenging in some areas; scout out access points along Highway 4 or County Road 279. Be prepared for a good fight – Cossatot River flatheads are known for their strength. Fresh cut bait from locally caught sunfish or shad often outperforms other options.
