Flathead Catfish
If you're after a monster flathead catfish, McFarlan, NC, and the nearby Pee Dee River system should be on your radar. This area is known for producing some truly impressive flatheads. Targeting these whiskered giants is best done during the warmer months, particularly from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Live bait, such as bream or bullheads, is the preferred method. Focus your efforts on deep holes, submerged structure, and areas with strong currents. Night fishing can be particularly effective. A popular access point is the boat ramp at Blewett Falls Lake, which provides access to both the lake and the Pee Dee River. Be sure to use heavy tackle and strong lines, as flatheads are incredibly powerful fish. Always check local regulations regarding size and creel limits before heading out. The flatheads in the Pee Dee are known for their size and fighting ability, offering a thrilling challenge for experienced anglers.
