Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish near Lynn, Arkansas, the Black River is your best bet. This river has a reputation for producing some truly massive flatheads. Live bait is key, with sunfish, bullheads, or even large shiners being the go-to choices. Target areas with deep holes, log jams, and undercut banks – these are prime ambush points for these predators. Summer and early fall are the best times to target flatheads, as they are most active in warmer water. Fishing at night is particularly effective. A practical tip: Use heavy tackle, as flatheads are incredibly strong. A stout rod, a high-capacity reel, and heavy line are essential. Also, be prepared for a long wait, as flathead fishing often requires patience. Many local anglers use trotlines or limb lines baited with live bait to target these fish. Be sure to check local regulations regarding these methods. The flatheads in the Black River can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 50 pounds being caught regularly.
