Small Stream, Louisiana style
With warmer air finally here, I made the first trip of I hope many this spring. Though Louisiana is perceived as a state of swamps and bayous, and that is largely fact, there are rare, precious places like this one. My fishing buddy and I got off the trail upstream of where we usually fish to do some exploring. There is a sandstone terrace on this stream where we park, and we fish up or down stream from there. The stream, some 30 miles long, is mostly white sandbars and bottoms, but there are a few areas where the thousands of years it has flowed there has exposed uplifted rock. Again, a rare thing in Louisiana. We rounded a bend a spied this spot through the trees, scurried down the bluff.
View downstream from there:
As a Louisianian, I can't begin to describe how magical such places are. It takes me nearly four hours to drive there, I live down on the coast near the Atchaflaya River's mouth into the Gulf of Mexico, surely the "swamps and bayous" region of fame. I caught one spotted bass of respectable size on a small Clouser minnow. The fish are still hanging deep but the water is warming and they'll be rising to poppers soon.
Best regards,
Roger Stouff
