Flathead Catfish
If you're targeting flathead catfish near Gravette, Arkansas, you'll want to focus on the larger rivers and lakes in the area. While smaller streams might hold channel cats, flatheads prefer deeper, slower-moving water with plenty of cover. Summer nights are prime time for flathead fishing. They are ambush predators and become more active after dark. Live bait, such as bluegill or shad, is the most effective way to entice a bite. Focus on areas with submerged logs, rock piles, or deep holes. A local tip is to fish near the mouths of creeks or tributaries where they enter the main river channel. These areas often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, flathead catfish. Be prepared for a strong fight, as flatheads are known for their power. Remember to use heavy tackle and check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
