Flathead Catfish
Oilton, Oklahoma, while not a renowned catfish hotspot, offers some surprisingly good flathead catfish opportunities for anglers willing to put in the time. The Cimarron River, which flows nearby, holds a decent population of these whiskered giants. Targeting them requires patience and the right approach. Live bait, such as sunfish or bullheads, is the preferred method, fished on the bottom near submerged logs, deep holes, and river bends. Summer nights are prime time for flathead fishing. Be prepared for a potentially long wait, but the reward of landing a large flathead is well worth it. Access to the river can be challenging in some areas; scout out potential access points beforehand. Be aware of strong currents and potential snags. Many locals use bank fishing techniques. The flatheads in this area can grow to impressive sizes, so be sure to use heavy tackle.
