Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish near Highfill, Arkansas, you'll want to focus your efforts on the larger rivers and lakes in the region. The Illinois River and the White River, both within driving distance, are known to hold some impressive flatheads. Beaver Lake also presents a good opportunity, particularly around submerged timber and rocky ledges. Flathead season heats up in the late spring and summer months when water temperatures rise. Live bait is key for these ambush predators; bluegill or green sunfish are local favorites. A practical tip: targeting areas with current breaks or deep holes adjacent to shallow flats can significantly increase your chances. Be prepared for a fight! Flatheads in these waters can reach substantial sizes. Also, be sure to check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regulations for specific rules regarding baitfish and size limits before heading out.
