Flathead Catfish
If you're after a true river monster, Dungannon, Virginia, offers excellent flathead catfish opportunities. The Clinch River, flowing right through town, is the prime location. Its deep holes and abundant woody structure provide ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Flatheads in the Clinch can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a battle. The best time to target them is from late spring through early fall, when the water warms up and they become more active. Night fishing is particularly effective. For bank access, try the public areas near the Dungannon boat ramp. Be aware that the Clinch can experience fluctuations in water level, so check conditions before you go. Use heavy tackle and live bait like bluegill or creek chubs to entice a bite. Remember, patience is key when targeting these trophy fish.
