Flathead Catfish
For anglers targeting flathead catfish, Stony Creek, Virginia, offers some productive fishing grounds. The Nottoway River is the primary waterway to focus on. What sets this location apart is the river's relatively slow current and abundance of woody structure, creating ideal habitat for these ambush predators. The best time to target flatheads here is from late spring through early fall, when water temperatures are consistently warm. Live bait is key to success; bluegill, bullheads, or large shiners are all excellent choices. A local tip: focus on areas with deep holes near submerged logs or root systems. These flatheads are masters of camouflage, and they'll often be tucked away in the most inaccessible spots. Access to the Nottoway can be challenging in some areas, so be prepared to do some exploring to find the best fishing spots. Flatheads in this river can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 40 pounds being a realistic possibility.
