Flathead Catfish
If you're hunting for a true river monster in Kansas, Pretty Prairie offers some surprisingly good flathead catfish opportunities. While not as famous as some of the larger reservoirs, the smaller rivers and creeks in this area, like the Ninnescah River, hold some impressive fish. Flatheads here tend to be ambush predators, lurking in deep holes around submerged logs and rocky structures. Summer is prime time, especially after a good rain that brings up the water levels and washes in new food. Night fishing is almost essential for the biggest fish. For bank access, look for county road crossings and areas where the river bends close to public land. Be prepared for some snaggy conditions and bring heavy tackle – these fish don't give up easily. A live green sunfish or bullhead is hard to beat for bait.
