Check out this PFBC fisheries biologist field report on the West Branch of the Susquehanna river, it might surprise some people after all the controversy last year when a lot of the young smallmouth died.

Those 2 fish pictured were very nice, I am still in search of that 18"+ smallie, I just cant seem to find it
excellent report basser, it shows the flatheads arent destroying the small mouth population like once thought by a lot of people .

I don't know what kind of flathead population they have up there in the West Branch of the Susquehanna River but I don't think it's any where near what the Schuylkill River has. I don't think they are going to hurt anything like some people believe, if they were going to eat themselves out of house and home they would have become extinct a lone time ago. JMHO.
