Flathead Catfish
South Lead Hill, Arkansas, offers some excellent opportunities to tangle with flathead catfish. Bull Shoals Lake, with its deep waters and abundant forage, is a prime location. These nocturnal predators can be targeted effectively during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with peak activity often occurring after dark. Live bait is king when targeting flatheads; bluegill or perch are popular choices. Fishing near submerged timber, deep channels, or along the dam can be productive. Consider using a Carolina rig or a three-way rig to present your bait effectively. Access to the lake is easy via numerous public boat ramps, but be mindful of nighttime navigation. Flatheads in Bull Shoals can grow to impressive sizes, so be sure to use heavy tackle and be prepared for a serious fight. They're known to be ambush predators, so focus on areas where they can hide and wait for prey.
