Flathead Catfish
For anglers targeting Flathead Catfish near Fairmount Heights, Maryland, the tidal portions of the Potomac River, although a bit of a drive, offer the best opportunities. These massive catfish are ambush predators, preferring to lie in wait near structure such as fallen trees, bridge pilings, or deep holes. Summer and fall are prime times to target them, particularly at night. Live bait, such as bluegills or bullheads, is highly effective. A key local tip is to use a sturdy rod and reel, as Flatheads can reach impressive sizes and put up a tremendous fight. Access points along the Potomac can be found in various parks and boat ramps. Be prepared for a potentially long wait, as Flathead fishing often requires patience. These fish are apex predators and play an important role in the ecosystem, so practice catch and release to help maintain a healthy population.
