    A book that covers channels and flatheads is The Freshwater Angler’s “Catching Catfish”. I think this is a good book that has alot of helpful info on catching both species. In-Fisherman’s “Channel Catfish Fever” is a great book on channel cats only. There is only a page or two on flatheads. Good Luck!

    North Amerian Fishing Club has Catfishing Stratigies. They cover all cats and bullheads but some pretty good info.

    The above mentioned Books are great beginner over view books.
    I have two more to recommend.
    1. Catfishing: Beyond the Basics. By Keith “Catfish” Sutton.
    2. Critical Concepts: Catfish Fundamentals Book 1. In-Fisherman.
    there are 2 or 3 other Books in the Critical Concepts series. I figure I’ll save those for next winter to get me by.
    Good Reading
    thanks

    Katmandue, In-Fisherman has a number of videos out too.

    Big Catfish Safari has a segment with Mr. Chris Winchester aka CatdadMN.

    My vote goes to “Trophy Catfish Adventures” Hire Brian! A wealth of non usable information, But he does know his Catfish! (Like I said……….Non-usable info!)

    Seriously…..Hire BrianK……I hear he’s the best in the bussiness!

    Don’t listen to Chappy!

    He’s still upset that I took him catten and he never caught a catfish…just a 27″, 28″ and 29+” walleye…

    Hey! It’s guiding! That’s why I have a no catfish guarantee…no cats half price!

    When’s your mount going to be done Chap?

    The truth of the matter is that you are too expensive to hire for a guide when you have the expense of mounting 3 big walleyes like those Bud.
    Thanks, Bill
