Sign up now at the Bait shop, meeting at 6 PM. This is an exclusive event on the Vermillion River and flathead Catfish only. Side pots available. $100 entry per two man team.

River conditions with the water level slightly higher than normal, I’m sure it’s a little muddy after the rain last night, river current should not be a deterrent for big flathead tonight. Weather today with a high of 80 with a low of 60 during event and no rain in the forecast, perfect Catfish conditions.
