Flathead Catfish
If you're looking to tangle with a true river monster, Raymond, Kansas, offers some excellent flathead catfish opportunities. The nearby Arkansas River and its tributaries are prime locations. These waters are known for their slower currents, deep holes, and abundant cover, all ideal for flatheads. The best time to target them is late spring through early fall when the water temperatures are warmer. Fish tend to be most active at night, so plan your trips accordingly. For bank access, try the public areas along the Arkansas River near bridges and culverts. Be aware that the river levels can fluctuate, so check local conditions before you head out. A local tip: use live bait like sunfish or bullheads for the best results. The flatheads in this area are known to be aggressive, so be prepared for a good fight.
