Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Arnett, Oklahoma requires patience and a willingness to fish after dark. The local rivers and larger creeks flowing into the nearby reservoirs hold flatheads, but they can be challenging to locate. Live bait is essential; sunfish, bullheads, or even large shiners are your best bet. Focus on areas with deep holes, submerged logs, and undercut banks – classic flathead ambush points. Summer nights are ideal, as the water warms and the flatheads become more active. A heavy rod and reel are necessary to handle these powerful fish. Local tip: scout your fishing spot during the day to identify potential snags and plan your approach. Be prepared for a long wait; flathead fishing often involves hours of inactivity punctuated by moments of intense action. The flatheads in this region can reach impressive sizes, so be ready for a battle.
