Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish near Sherwood, Arkansas, the Arkansas River is your best bet. This river holds a healthy population of flatheads, known for their impressive size and fighting ability. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are ideal for targeting them. Focus on areas with deep holes, submerged timber, and strong current. Live bait, such as sunfish or bullheads, is the preferred method. Night fishing is particularly effective, as flatheads are most active after dark. For access, the Cook's Landing boat ramp provides easy entry to the river. Be prepared for a battle – Arkansas River flatheads can reach impressive sizes, and the current adds to the challenge.
