Flathead Catfish
For anglers seeking a trophy flathead catfish, the Potomac River near Sharpsburg, Maryland, is a worthy destination. This section of the Potomac boasts a healthy population of flatheads, known for their impressive size and fighting ability. The best time to target these whiskered giants is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus your efforts on areas with structure, such as submerged logs, rock piles, and deep holes. Live bait, such as bluegills or bullheads, is the preferred choice. A local tip: fish near the mouths of tributaries or areas where the current is strong. These areas tend to concentrate baitfish and, consequently, flatheads. Be prepared for a tough fight, as these fish can pull hard. Always check the Maryland DNR regulations for size and creel limits, and consider practicing catch and release for the larger specimens.
