Great write up! I'd add that muddy water isn't necessarily any better for the larger reservoirs. It just seems that way because they brushpile sit for bites.

Had the opportunity to fish with Pete at one of our favorite ponds back in the fall. Was glad to see him back in action. Knowing he's improving should scare the fishies!

Man, all the times I've fished Concordia and never tried crappie because I was told they were as rare as two dollar bills. Thanks for showing us otherwise!

As you can likely guess I fish mostly with fly rod, and tie my own flies. But I also fishing ultrlight spinning gear - jigs, spinners, cranks. But NOT bait!!! Lol.

Nice catch Pastor. My daughter can't eat fish so we always throw in some shrimp to our fish fry. $4 a pound right now. The Mrs. might like that.

Thanks, Pastor. After your reports last year I started tying up a fly-sized Gray Ghost on 1/64 oz jighead. Worked great last winter and spring, but then they went back to the black/chartreuse as it...

Cyberwolf, thanks for the offer. I'll definitely take you up on it!

As for kayaks, I've had a few, currently own two, the one I fish most from around here is a Native Ultimate. It's light enough...

Cyberwolf, I enjoy your reports, but ya' killing me! :( I live just a few miles from Cleco and haven't been able to get out there to fish in the last month. :banghead The times I was out there...

Iatt is pretty shallow and clear. Has had a big problem with hydrilla and they stocked a bunch of grass carp which helped some. In addition, all those beautiful trees really don't help the fishing...

Sweet! Love me some white bass on ultralight or fly rod. If only I had time right now. Mrs. FishesWithFlies keeping me busy, busy.

Been there. The ugly that is. Glad to see you're back on track.

Hey TigerFanatic. Pete and others have given some good advice, so not much for me to add. I know the dude who runs laflyfish.com... he's half-crazed, just not sure which half. They don't talk too...

Jig Rig is right. Crest is definitely the best crappie spot of the 5 LSU lakes. Second best is Parker Lake, near Parker Drive. Another good spot is near the drain pipes between City Park Lake (which...

Thanks for sharing. My nephew is looking at a Ride 135, and wanting to put a fishfinder on.

Each year I gather several from the neighborhood and set them in my backyard. Most go into ponds, a few into public waters. I let the leaves turn brown some, this means they've dried up a bit and...

Pete, thanks for the update. Bundicks one of 27 waters an hour or less from my new home. I plan to hit them all in February. I told the Mrs. she could have me for one day.

kayak! YESSSS! What model?

I have Pete's book, it's a keeper! :ThumbsUp



Yes, but can launch a canoe or kayak. Got it covered!

There's too many trees and too much vegetation in the lake, causing organic overload. The lake is nothing like it used to be. If revitalized, it has the potential to be one of the best crappie...

I catch some nice chinks on Kincaid, Cotile and Caney both on crickets and a fly called the fluff butt. Use a long leader (8-9 feet) and let it sink down. Often the strikes come just as you strip...

Wish I could make it, but that's one week before I retire. They plan to keep me busy to the very end! :(

Moved to the Cotile area end of May, and have been mostly fishing bass and bream around Cotile, Kincaid, Valentine, Indian Creek, Red River, Hodges Gardens and Toledo Bend. Back in the spring fished...

Was there also. Spoke to Kinny of D'Arbonne Life and Mike Wood. Got some valuable info. Also met up with Stephanie of the Darbonne Kayak Club. She's got a great group there, trying to put on a...

I was there yesterday morning too. In a red kayak. Slow, slow. Caught about 40 on fly rod, but only 3 keepers (7" or more) - 1 bream, 2 chiquapin.

When I was leaving, spoke to a gentleman...

Wish I could be there, to get some info on good kayak fishing spots. Stephanie is a real champion for paddling interests in north LA.
