Flathead Catfish
Weldon, NC provides some unique flathead catfish angling opportunities along the Roanoke River. The Roanoke's strong currents and deep holes provide ideal habitat for these predators to thrive. Targeting them is best from late spring through fall. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure like fallen trees, rock piles, and deep bends in the river. Access to the Roanoke River is readily available via the Weldon boat ramp. For bait, live bream or bullheads are hard to beat. A heavy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can grow to impressive sizes. A local tip: Fish the areas just downstream of the rapids for the best chance at hooking into a trophy flathead. Be prepared for a battle, as these fish are known for their strength and tenacity!
