Flathead Catfish
If you're after Flathead Catfish near La Plata, the tidal Potomac River is your best bet. This area holds some truly impressive specimens. Focus your efforts on deeper holes, channel edges, and areas with heavy cover such as submerged logs and rock piles. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are ideal. Flatheads are ambush predators, so presenting live bait is crucial. Large bluegills or bullheads are preferred offerings. Local anglers often drift live bait along the bottom or anchor near promising structure. Be prepared for a fight, as these fish are incredibly strong. A heavy-duty rod and reel, along with strong line, are essential. One local trick is to fish near the mouths of creeks that feed into the Potomac, as these areas often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, Flatheads. Remember to handle these fish with care and respect.
