On a warm September afternoon, I stood at the edge of a cattail marsh on my property watching the sky. At first it looked empty. Then a large dragonfly swept past at eye level, followed by another and another. Each carried a bright green thorax, a long blue or brown abdomen and four long, clear wings. It was a green darner dragonfly (Anax junius), and they were moving south.

This time of year always makes me excited. The cool weather always makes me want to be outside. I have been planning all year to head out to the woods and waters to hunt. Whether it’s grouse with my dog, ducks with my buddies or deer with my son, I can’t wait to get out there and fill the freezer.

Bob Larson spent decades working as a professional fishing guide. He’s caught, and helped others catch, enough species to populate a freshwater aquarium. Now that he’s retired, however, flathead cats are often his fish of choice.
“Oh, the power,” he said when asked why he pursues flathead catfish. “Tremendous power. And they’re fairly easy to catch. That’s what it’s all about for me is the fight, their power.”
What’s the intrigue of flathead fishing? It’s ‘the fight, their power’ Read More »
