Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish near Clear Spring, Maryland, the Potomac River is your best bet. These whiskered giants thrive in the deep, slow-moving sections of the river, particularly around structure like submerged logs, bridge pilings, and rocky ledges. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus your efforts on areas where they can lie in wait for unsuspecting prey. The late summer and early fall months are particularly productive as flatheads bulk up before winter. Use live bait, such as bluegills or bullheads, for the best results. Access can be tricky in some areas; consider using one of the public boat ramps along the Potomac, such as the one at Little Orleans, and navigating to promising spots. Be prepared for a fight – flatheads are known for their powerful runs and stubborn resistance.
