Flathead Catfish
If you're chasing flathead catfish, Muskogee, Oklahoma, should be on your radar. The Arkansas River and its backwater areas are prime habitat for these ambush predators. Flatheads here are notorious for their size and fight, with many reaching well over 40 pounds. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall (May-September). They become more active as the water temperatures rise. A crucial tip is to fish near structure – submerged timber, rock piles, and deep holes are all excellent ambush points. Live bait is key; sunfish or bullheads are local favorites. Many anglers access the river near the Highway 62 bridge. Be mindful of the current and debris, especially after periods of high water. Night fishing can be incredibly productive for flatheads in this area.
