Catching and Cooking The RAREST Catfish in Louisiana with Outside the Levees and my724outdoors.com!
Catching a flathead catfish in the marshes of Louisiana is an extremely rare event because these fish typically prefer deep, slow-moving freshwater systems like river bends, submerged log piles, and holes with plenty of cover—not the brackish or tidal waters of the coastal marsh. The marsh environment is dominated by species adapted to salinity fluctuations such as redfish, gar, and blue catfish. Flatheads, on the other hand, are more sensitive to salt levels and tend to stay far inland in the upper reaches of rivers and bayous where the water is consistently fresh. When one turns up in a coastal canal or marsh pond, it likely means it wandered far from its typical range, making the catch not only surprising but a real trophy for anyone fishing in Louisiana’s lower delta.
