Flathead Catfish
Doyline, Louisiana, is situated perfectly for targeting flathead catfish in the heart of some excellent catfishing waters. Lake Bistineau is the main draw here, offering abundant habitat and a healthy population of flatheads. This lake's maze of standing timber, creek channels, and deep holes provides ideal ambush points for these predators. The best time to fish for flatheads is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with the peak being summer nights. A crucial local tip: Live bait is king for flatheads. Bluegill, bullhead catfish, and shad are all highly effective. Fish them near submerged timber or drop-offs using a Carolina rig or a slip-sinker rig. Be prepared for a battle, as flatheads are incredibly strong. Lake Bistineau has several boat launches, but some can be shallow, so be mindful of water levels, especially during dry periods. The flatheads in Lake Bistineau can reach impressive sizes, with many fish exceeding 40 pounds, so bring heavy tackle!
