Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Lyman, SC means heading to the larger river systems like the Tyger River or the Enoree River. While not as renowned as some of the bigger catfish destinations, these rivers hold some impressive flatheads. Live bait is key – think bream, bullheads, or even large shiners. Focus on deep holes, especially around submerged timber or rocky outcroppings. Night fishing is particularly effective. A heavy rod and reel is a must when targeting Flatheads. One tip is to check local fishing reports for recent stocking information, as some nearby lakes and rivers have been stocked with channel catfish, which can sometimes lead to incidental catches of smaller flatheads. Be prepared for a potentially long wait, but the reward of landing a big flathead is well worth it. Remember to check the South Carolina DNR website for any specific regulations regarding catfish size and limits.
