Flathead Catfish
While not as widely known as other catfish destinations, the waterways near Chimney Rock Village can offer a shot at some impressive flathead catfish. The Broad River, flowing near Chimney Rock, holds a population of these apex predators. Flatheads in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so live bait is often the key to success. Bluegill or small bullheads fished on a sturdy Carolina rig near deep holes or submerged timber are your best bet. Summer nights are prime time for flathead fishing, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. Be prepared for a potential battle, as these fish can grow to considerable size. Access to the Broad River can be challenging in some areas, so research beforehand and be respectful of private property. The flathead population in this section of the Broad River is relatively stable, but patience and persistence are crucial for landing one of these elusive giants.
