Flathead Catfish
If you're after Flathead Catfish near Saluda, NC, you'll need to focus your efforts on the larger river systems. While not as abundant as in some other areas of the state, the Broad River, accessible within a reasonable drive, holds a population of these whiskered giants. Flatheads prefer slow-moving, deep water with plenty of cover, such as fallen trees and rock ledges. Night fishing is particularly effective. Late summer and early fall, when the water temperatures are still warm, can be a great time to target them. Access can be a challenge, so look for established boat ramps or wade-fishing opportunities along the Broad River. Live bait is crucial; bream or large shiners are the go-to choices. Be aware that Flathead Catfish can be very strong, so make sure you have the appropriate tackle to handle a potentially trophy-sized fish. Check creel and size limits before heading out.
