Flatheads won't make it that far north,, I don't think there is a way for them to invade the far north lakes and rivers.They seem to like big river systems that interconnect with others.. they have recently made it here to NY state in the susquehanna and probably Delaware systems, but I don't think they are in numbers like they are further south..I don't think they want to swim up into the cold rocky Catskill free stone trout streams via the delaware... Its not good habitat for them.. The Susquehanna is a muddy murky warm water river full of carp and channel cats these days, and I am sure the flatheads will start doing damage here, but we haven't seen that yet...and I agree with you.. Humans tend to destroy everything around us it seems....
