Common freshwater sport fish in Louisiana: black bass, small bass, blue galls, red-eared sunfish, white crab, black crab, white bass, striped bass. Louisiana's state parks offer an incredible variety of fishing opportunities. Head to the Toledo Bend Reservoir, the largest artificial lake in the South, where you'll find South and North Toledo Bend State Parks. The reservoir has named one of Bassmaster's 25 best bass lakes.
Visit Chicot State Park in Ville Platte (where you can sleep in spectacular waterfront huts), Chemin-A-Haut State Park, in the far reaches of north-central Louisiana, and Bistineau, Bruin, Claiborne and other state parks named after bodies of water rich in fish. Throw a line for the hybrid striped bass, the black largemouth bass, the red sunfish and the black and white crab in these waterways. Spotted trout, also known as spotted trout, is a common estuarine fish found on the southern shores of the Gulf of Mexico and on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean from Maryland to Florida. While most of these fish are caught in shallow, grassy plains, spotted trout reside in almost any coastal water, from the waves of outer islands to the farthest coastal rivers, where they tend to take refuge in cold weather.
Contrary to its name, spotted trout is not a member of the trout family, but of the drum family. Because of its size, shape and eating habits, it is known as trout. Of course, no compendium of hot pits could cover all of the great fishing spots in Louisiana, but part of the fun of fishing includes exploring new points of interest in the deservedly named Sportsman's Paradise. You can visit certain fishing spots on the Mississippi River depending on the fish you prefer to catch.
Rivers, streams and swamps Between the Sabine and the Pearl, Louisiana athletes can also fish Ouachita, Tensas, Black, Boeuf, Calcasieu, Amite, Blind, Tickfaw, Tangipahoa, Tchefuncte, Bogue Chitto, Whisky Chitto and many other rivers, streams and swamps that feed an abundant tapestry of life. The 186,000-acre Toledo Bend probably offers the best freshwater fishing in Louisiana and some of the best in the entire country. The Atchafalaya Basin is one of the most beautiful areas in Louisiana and one of the most abundant for fishing. It is made up of more than two hundred different fish species, approximately 25% of the entire North American fish population.
Lands managed by the state and the federal government in Louisiana are also especially popular fishing destinations. You may want to have the right fishing equipment, such as longer and more powerful rods, fishing belts and jigging lines with deep colors. From the coastal waters and swamps of Shell Beach, Delacroix, Hopedale and New Orleans to the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana's diversity of fish species is second to none.
