Flathead Catfish
If you're after a Flathead Catfish in Arkansas, consider targeting them near Mount Pleasant. The Spring River, with its deep holes and abundant cover, offers a suitable habitat for these whiskered giants. While flatheads can be caught year-round, the warmer months are generally more productive. Live bait, such as sunfish or bullheads, is the preferred method for targeting these predators. Focus your efforts on areas with heavy cover, such as submerged logs, rock piles, and deep bends in the river. A key tip for success is to fish at night, when flatheads are most active. Public access to the Spring River is available at several points along Highway 63. Be prepared for a long wait and a potentially strong fight, as flatheads are known for their powerful runs. Ensure you have the appropriate heavy-duty tackle to handle these impressive fish.
