Flathead Catfish
Flathead catfish angling near Park, Kansas, presents a unique challenge and reward. While the region may not be immediately known for trophy flatheads, the smaller rivers and reservoirs offer a chance to tangle with these whiskered giants. The best time to target flatheads is during the warmer months, particularly from late spring through early fall, when they are actively feeding. Live bait is key – think sunfish or bullheads. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, deep holes, and areas with current. The South Fork of the Smoky Hill River, if accessible, can be a good starting point. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check local conditions before heading out. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as even smaller flatheads can put up a significant fight in the tight confines of these waterways. Remember to handle these fish with care and release them properly to ensure the health of the population.
