I’ve been thinking about going as far upstream as possible and spending the night targeting flatheads. This story has helped stoke the fire. I’ve emailed the author and his DNR friend to see if there is any more info specific to flathead ranges, make that fishable populations of flatheads up river.
What’s the furthest upstream people here have targeting successfully or even caught a decent flathead by accident up stream?
There are plenty of flatheads up near Granite Falls.
I gotta believe there are flattys from St. Paul to Big Stone.
Got a reply from the person from the DNR he used as a source for the story. For anyone interested…
“You will find fishable populations of flathead catfish all the way up to Minnesota Falls which is located about three miles downstream of the town of Granite Falls. All of the Renville County Parks offer plenty of bank fishing opportunity with good flathead numbers throughout. Specifically, the area between ———- has some excellent water due to the large number of snags creating quality habitat for flatheads. Good luck!”
Hey, I can’t give my new secret spot away! 
So who is up for a little overnight camping trip?
