Flathead Catfish
If you're after some whiskered giants, the Deep River near Jamestown holds a population of flathead catfish. These predators prefer deeper, slower-moving water with plenty of cover. Targeting them requires patience and heavier tackle. The best time to fish for flatheads is from late spring through early fall, especially during the nighttime hours. Use large live bait such as bluegill or shad fished on the bottom. Areas near submerged timber, bridge pilings, or deep holes are prime locations. Local's insight: The section of the Deep River below the Oakdale Dam can be productive, but be mindful of strong currents and changing water levels. Flatheads in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a challenging fight. Always practice catch and release to help maintain the population of these impressive fish.
