Flathead Catfish
If you're targeting flathead catfish near Chapel Hill, Tennessee, you'll find the Duck River and its tributaries offer some promising opportunities. Flatheads are ambush predators, and the Duck River's structure – think fallen logs, deep holes, and undercut banks – provides ideal habitat. Live bait is key; bluegill or bullheads are the preferred choice for targeting these larger catfish. Summer nights are prime time, as flatheads become more active under the cover of darkness. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can put up a serious fight. Consider fishing near the Highway 41A bridge crossing the Duck River; the deeper water and structure around the bridge pilings often hold flatheads. Remember to check local regulations regarding baitfish and size limits before you go.
