Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish near Little River, Kansas, the Little Arkansas River is your best bet. This river, though not massive, holds a healthy population of flatheads that can reach impressive sizes. Summer is prime time for flathead fishing, particularly during the nighttime hours. Target deep holes, log jams, and undercut banks with live bait such as bluegill or green sunfish. Circle hooks are recommended for this type of fishing. A local tip is to focus on areas where smaller creeks or streams enter the Little Arkansas River; these areas often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, flatheads. Be prepared for a fight, as flatheads are known for their powerful runs. Access to the river can be limited in some areas, so scouting ahead of time is advisable. Remember to check the local regulations regarding size limits and bait restrictions.
