Flathead Catfish
If you're hunting for a trophy flathead catfish in northern Mississippi, Holly Springs offers some promising opportunities in the surrounding waterways. While the city itself doesn't have large bodies of water, the nearby Tallahatchie River and its tributaries hold some impressive flatheads. These waters are known for their slower currents and abundant cover, perfect for these ambush predators. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they're most active. Live bait such as bluegill or bullheads fished near submerged logs or deep holes is your best bet. A practical tip: be mindful of water levels on the Tallahatchie, as they can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains. Local bait shops can provide up-to-date information on river conditions and productive areas. Remember, flatheads in this region can grow to substantial sizes, so be sure to bring heavy tackle!
