Flathead Catfish
For Flathead Catfish near Edmond, Kansas, Arcadia Lake and its tailwaters offer your best shot at landing a monster. These whiskered predators are ambush hunters, favoring cover and current. The best time to target them is during the warmer months (late spring through early fall), particularly at night. Focus on areas with submerged timber, deep holes near the dam, and where creeks enter the lake. Live bait is king when targeting flatheads; large sunfish or bullheads are excellent choices. A heavy rod and reel are essential, along with strong line and a sturdy hook. Be prepared for a fight! Access to the tailwaters below the dam is available, but be aware of changing water levels. Always check dam release schedules before fishing these areas. Flatheads in Arcadia can reach impressive sizes, offering a thrilling fishing experience.
