[#0000ff]If you fish for flatheads you need to know that they are also not like channel cats in the feeding department. They eat only live food...fish, crawdads, crawlers, etc. Best baits are small fish from their natural surroundings. That usually means small bluegill or other sunfish. But I have heard that small squawfish work well on the Snake. Ditto for small carp and suckers.[/#0000ff]

FYI according to the IDFG General fishing rules
"Note: Use of live fish, leeches, frogs, salamanders, waterdogs or shrimp as bait is prohibited in Idaho, except that live crayfish may be used if caught on the body of water being fished."
Don't want anyone getting busted for using live bait where it's not legal.
Tight lines,
