Flathead Catfish
If you're after a true river monster, the Flathead Catfish in and around Oxford, Arkansas, should be on your radar. The Spring River, with its deep holes and submerged timber, is prime Flathead habitat. These fish love to ambush prey, so focus your efforts near structure. While Flatheads can be caught year-round, the warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive. This is when they're actively feeding and preparing for the spawn. For bank access, try areas near the Highway 58 bridge; just be mindful of private property. Live bait is key – think sunfish or bullheads – and be prepared for a serious fight. Flatheads in this region can reach impressive sizes, so use heavy tackle and hold on tight!
