Flathead Catfish
Flathead catfish anglers will find some promising opportunities near Lebanon Junction, Kentucky, particularly in the larger rivers and reservoirs within driving distance. While not directly on a major catfish fishery, the proximity to the Salt River and other tributaries offers a chance to tangle with these whiskered giants. The best time to target flatheads is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. For success in this area, focus on fishing near deep holes, submerged timber, and current breaks. Live bait is key for targeting flatheads, with bluegill, shad, and creek chubs being popular choices. A helpful local tip is to fish at night, as flatheads are primarily nocturnal predators. Public access to the Salt River is limited, so research access points carefully before heading out. Also, be prepared for a potentially long fight, as flatheads are known for their powerful runs. Remember to use heavy tackle and strong line to handle these brutes.
