Calcasieu
Lake is located in southwest Louisiana, 3 ½ hours south of Shreveport
and 3 hours west of New Orleans. Anglers in the know have a soft spot
in their heart for this paragon of Louisiana lakes. Numerous species
of game fish make their home in the Great Calcasieu Estuary (locally
known as Big Lake), including the speckled trout, redfish, flounder,
black drum, sand trout, sheepshead, croakers, and ladyfish. The prime
fishing season starts every year in April and usually lasts through
December, weather permitting. Anglers normally nab the biggest trout
in the Calcasieu Lake from April through to June.
Guests at Calcasieu Lake can fish from the many local fishing piers
or take a private or charted boat out on the water. There are numerous
vacation rentals near Calcasieu Lake for those who want to spend a few
days, some of which are very close to the lake’s shores. |
