Flathead Catfish
If you're hunting monster flatheads, Paradise, Kansas, offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The star of the show is the nearby Saline River, known for its slow-moving stretches and deep holes that flatheads love to call home. While not as heavily fished as some of the larger reservoirs in the state, the Saline offers a more secluded experience. The best time to target these whiskered giants is from late spring through summer, when water temperatures are rising and the fish are actively feeding to prepare for the spawn. Live bait is key – think green sunfish or bullheads. A practical tip: access can be tricky in some areas. Focus on bridge access points and areas where the river bends sharply, as these often create deeper pools. Be prepared for a fight; these Saline River flatheads can get big, with fish over 50 pounds not uncommon. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits, as Kansas has specific rules for flathead catfish.
