Locations and time are the most important factors. Once I have identified the deepest hole with the most cover, I make mental notes of where to come back later. I have not found a better, or more enjoyable way to find the best spots a flathead catfish might call home.
While I'm doing this, I'm comparing each hole I stop at to fish to decide which one I will target flatheads in at night. To find these spots, I enjoy a day of fishing for channel catfish in my kayak or boat. If you find the deepest hole with the most logs, sticks, boulders, and trees in a 10-20 mile stretch of river, odds are it will be home to the biggest catfish in the whole stretch. They pick the biggest, baddest, deepest, most cover-laden bends in the river. In the small stream environments that I regularly frequent, these fish rule the roost. Where do you find 'emįlatheads are a unique fish compared to most of the fish world. Anyone who wants to catch something that will push you not just mentally, but physically, needs to take the time to land one of these whiskered leviathons. They can snap fishing poles like twigs, break fingers, and capsize small boats. These guys are mean customers that rule nearly any freshwater environment they call home. I'm talking fish that weigh 40, 50, or even 100 pounds. Not like a 10 pound largemouth bass kind of big, or even a 30 pound muskie. Granted these are great game fish and I regularly pursue them, but they are not what truly gets my heart pumping. Freshwater fishing generally conjures the image of a smiling angler holding up a trophy two pound crappie or 30 inch walleye. I've been called an oddball many times in my life.
