Fishing Report - Updated 08/18/2025
| Species | Detail |
|---|---|
| Largemouth Bass | Bass fishing has been slow. Bass are in summer patterns and holding to deeper cypress trees, piers, and brush piles. Try targeting bass with spinnerbaits fished near docks, jigs around cypress knees, or hollow bodied frogs around pads. Vegetation near buck chute will likely be holding bass. |
| Crappie | Crappie fishing is slow. Look for crappie to be suspended over brush piles or on the move. Small jigs with pink or chartreuse heads paired with monkey milk, Cajun cricket, or blue ice plastics have produced quality fish. |
| Bream | Bream fishing is good. With the lake above pool, look for bream to be spread out around cypress trees, piers, and aquatic vegetation. Buck Chute, Muddy Bayou, and Float Row are popular spots to bream fish. Try fishing crickets or red worms. If you're looking for a challenge, try targeting bream with a fly rod. |
| Catfish | Catfishing is good. Try liver, crawfish tails, or shrimp fished on the bottom. Adding kool-aid or garlic for a little extra enhancement has proven successful. |
| White Bass | White Bass are seldom targeted but caught in abundance by crappie and largemouth bass anglers. Try targeting them with little George's or shad imitation crankbaits. |
