Flathead Catfish
For flathead catfish near Temple, Oklahoma, you'll want to set your sights on the larger rivers and reservoirs in the region. Waurika Lake and the Red River, while a bit of a drive, are your best bets for tangling with these whiskered giants. Summer is prime time for targeting flatheads, especially at night. They are ambush predators and will often be found near structure such as fallen trees, rock piles, and bridge pilings. Live bait is king when targeting flatheads, with sunfish, goldfish, and bullheads being popular choices. Be prepared for a battle; these fish are incredibly strong. A sturdy rod, heavy line, and a strong hook are essential. Many anglers fish from boats, using sonar to locate submerged structure. Bank fishing opportunities exist as well, particularly near bridge crossings and public access points. The flathead catfish in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 50 pounds being caught regularly, so be prepared for a fight!
