Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish around Hendersonville, North Carolina, requires a bit of focused effort, but the rewards can be substantial. The French Broad River system, accessible within a short drive, is your best bet. These cats prefer larger rivers with plenty of deep holes and structure. Live bait is the name of the game here – think bluegill or bullheads. Summer and early fall are prime times, as the water warms up and the catfish become more active. A key tip is to fish at night; flatheads are primarily nocturnal predators. Look for areas with current breaks, such as downed trees or rock piles. Access can be challenging in some areas, so scout beforehand. While the French Broad may not be known for producing monster flatheads, a fish in the 20-40 pound range is certainly possible, making for an unforgettable fishing experience.
