Flathead Catfish
If you're after hefty flathead catfish, Calvin, Louisiana offers some excellent freshwater opportunities. The area is dotted with smaller lakes and rivers that feed into larger systems, providing ideal habitat for these ambush predators. While the local knowledge often points to the Little River as a hotspot, don't overlook the smaller, less pressured creeks. Spring and fall are prime times, as flatheads become more active with the moderate temperatures. For bank access, try the areas around the Highway 126 bridge over the Little River; you'll find some decent spots to cast from. Live bait is key here – large bream or shad are your best bet. Be prepared for some heavy lifting; these fish can get quite large in these waters, and the thick cover means a tough fight.
