Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish around Winslow, Arkansas, presents a unique angling opportunity in the Ozark Highlands. The White River and its tributaries are the primary fisheries. These waters offer classic flathead habitat: deep holes, submerged logs, and rocky bluffs. Spring and early summer, particularly after heavy rains that raise the river levels, are prime times to fish. Flatheads become more active as the water warms, seeking spawning grounds and readily taking live bait. A local tip: concentrate your efforts around bridge pilings and areas where the river channel narrows, creating current breaks. Access to the White River can be found at various public access points along Highway 16. Be prepared for rocky conditions and potentially swift currents. The flatheads here aren't known for their immense size, but a patient angler can definitely land some respectable fish in the 20-40 pound range. Remember to use heavy tackle and strong hooks when targeting these powerful predators.
