Thread: Small Stream, Louisiana style

    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,

    That looks awesome, I love fishing creeks for bass. They're really fun, and the water is nice and warm. Thanks for the pictures!

    It certainly looks diferent from what I'm used to seeing from LA.

    But stream fishing is good no matter where you do it.

    Thanks,

    I confess I'm addicted to it. The drive is wearisome, and the cost nearly prohibitive with a big ol' truck, but I can't resist it! :)
    There's a bundle more such streams in the more northern parts of the state, most sand and gravel. I could explore them for the rest of my natural life and not see them all, but I'll give it my best.
    thanks

    Wow!
    Catching a bass with a popper in such a stream would be wonderful!
