Flathead Catfish
Glen Elder Reservoir is also a fantastic place to chase after trophy flathead catfish. The lake's diverse structure, including submerged timber, creek channels, and rocky points, provides ample habitat for these ambush predators to thrive. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are ideal for targeting flatheads, especially at night. Live bait is king here – bluegill or green sunfish are local favorites. Try fishing near the dam or in the upper reaches of the lake where the river channel enters. A practical tip: Use a heavy-duty rod and reel with strong line, as Glen Elder flatheads can reach impressive sizes. Also, be prepared for some long nights; flathead fishing often requires patience and persistence. The flatheads here are known for their impressive size and fighting ability, making Glen Elder a true trophy destination.
