AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Red River through central Louisiana offers productive fishing for blue catfish, flathead catfish, and freshwater drum along its sandy banks and wing dams. The Coushatta public access area provides a convenient boat launch and bank fishing area on this major river system. Drift fishing with cut bait along the river's deeper holes and channel edges produces trophy-class blue catfish regularly.
