[cool][#0000ff]Both flatheads and blues can be found well up into the cold midwest waters. Blue cats are known to bite all winter and that's when some of the biggest are caught. But flatheads are wimps and they go dormant in the winter...laying on the bottom of the deeper holes and accumulating a layer of sediment until they warm up and wake up in the spring.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Idaho has put flatheads in several areas of the Snake river. I have long wished for them in Utah Lake. They DO eat the heck out of carp...but would also jump on the Junies. That's a no no so we don't get flatheads. But if you talk to some of the old goobers around Utah Lake you can hear tales of giant flatheads that always break your line...and the hundred pounders caught (and released) by the carp seiners. Don't ever dispute one of those stories unless you can duck quick or run fast. They is serious about their beliefs.[/#0000ff]
