Flathead Catfish
If you're targeting flathead catfish in Sulphur Rock, Arkansas, the White River is your primary destination. This section of the White is known for its deep holes and slower currents, which provide ideal habitat for these ambush predators. The best time to fish for flatheads here is from late spring through early fall, with the warmer months seeing increased activity. Live bait is key – think large sunfish or bullheads. A popular access point is the Sulphur Rock Access, offering easy bank fishing and a boat ramp. Be aware that the river levels can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall, so check conditions before you head out. Local anglers often have success fishing near submerged timber and rock piles, where flatheads lie in wait for their next meal. Don't be afraid to fish at night, as this is when the biggest flatheads are most active.
