Flathead Catfish
For a shot at a trophy flathead catfish, Warsaw, Kentucky, and the Ohio River are worth exploring. This section of the river is known for its deep holes and abundant cover, providing ideal habitat for these ambush predators. The best time to target flatheads is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with the peak often occurring during the pre-spawn period. Live bait is key; bluegill, bullheads, or even large shiners fished on a Carolina rig or a slip sinker rig near the bottom are your best bet. Focus on areas with current breaks, submerged timber, and rocky outcroppings. Be prepared for a battle; flatheads are incredibly strong. Access to the river is available at several public boat ramps in and around Warsaw. Note that the Ohio River can have strong currents and barge traffic, so exercise caution when navigating.
