For all of you looking for bank fishing spots around the city of Baton Rouge:

October 28th: The LDWF Inland Fisheries Hatchery team released 1,750 year-old channel Catfish (8-12") into several BREC ponds and the Lamar Dixon Expo Center.
Forest Park 150
Perkins Road Park 150
Zachary Community Park 170
Central Sports Park 220
Howell Community Park 220
Lamar Dixon 590

Last week, LDWF's Inland Fisheries Hatchery team released 342,600 redear sunfish into Cheniere Brake Lake and 300,600 into Lacassine NWR.
Hatchery & District biologist also teamed up with the Red River Water Commission to stock 18,000 Florida & hybrid bass (4-6") in Red River Pools 1-2.

The remaining Red River Pools are scheduled to be stocked in the coming weeks.

It's usually late December or early January. They can't take the heat.

We only do this stocking once a year because it is the only time that these northern natives can survive in our warm waters.

Rainbow Trout last about a month after stocking takes place.
