Flathead Catfish
If you're after Flathead Catfish near Mosheim, Tennessee, the Holston River and Cherokee Lake offer decent opportunities. These whiskered giants lurk in deep holes, around submerged timber, and under rocky ledges. Targeting flatheads requires patience and heavy tackle. Live bait, such as bluegill or shad, is the key to success. Summer and early fall are prime times, as flatheads become more active in warmer water. Focus on areas with strong current or near the mouths of creeks. A local tip: night fishing can be particularly effective. Boat access to Cherokee Lake is plentiful, while the Holston River offers several wade-fishing access points, though be cautious of strong currents. Flatheads in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be sure your gear is up to the task. Heavy rods, reels, and strong line are essential for landing these powerful fish. Always check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
