Flathead Catfish
If you're after a flathead catfish near Elgin, Oklahoma, Lake Ellsworth and the nearby rivers draining into it are your best bet. These waters hold some impressive flatheads, known for their ambush-style feeding habits. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, deep holes near the river channels, and rocky outcroppings. Live bait is key – sunfish, bullheads, or even large shiners are irresistible to these predators. Summer nights are the peak season, when the flatheads are most active. A useful tip is to use a fish finder to locate submerged structure and then anchor up-current, letting your bait drift naturally into the strike zone. Be prepared for a fight; these flatheads are powerful and can easily break lighter lines. Some anglers have reported success using limb lines baited with live perch along the Little Beaver Creek arm of Lake Ellsworth.
