Flathead Catfish
Rayville, Louisiana, is a hidden gem for flathead catfish anglers. The Ouachita River and its network of bayous and oxbow lakes offer ideal habitat for these whiskered giants. Unlike channel cats, flatheads prefer live bait, so bring along some bream or bullheads. Target areas with deep holes, submerged logs, and current breaks. Summer nights are particularly productive, as the flatheads become more active under the cover of darkness. Heavy tackle is a must when targeting flatheads in this area; these fish can grow to impressive sizes. Bank fishing opportunities are limited, but several boat ramps along the Ouachita River provide good access. Check local regulations regarding size and creel limits. A local tactic involves anchoring near a known flathead hangout and using a heavy weight to keep your live bait on the bottom. The flathead catfish in the Ouachita River system are known for their impressive size and fighting ability.
