Flathead Catfish
For flathead catfish in the Richwood, Louisiana area, the Ouachita River is your primary target. This river system, with its deep holes, log jams, and abundant forage, provides ideal habitat for these whiskered giants. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are typically the most productive. Live bait is key, with bream, shad, and crawfish being local favorites. Try fishing near submerged timber or deep bends in the river. A good access point is the boat ramp at Forsythe Park in Monroe, providing easy access to the Ouachita. Be prepared for strong currents and potentially snaggy conditions. Flatheads in the Ouachita can reach impressive sizes, so use heavy tackle and be ready for a long fight. Local anglers often fish at night, as flatheads are primarily nocturnal predators. Remember to handle these fish with care and respect, as they are a valuable part of the ecosystem.
