Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some whiskered action in northeast Louisiana, Epps is a great jumping-off point for channel catfish. The Tensas River and its associated bayous offer prime habitat. Channel cats thrive here, with plenty of natural forage in the form of insects, crustaceans, and smaller fish. Spring and early summer are excellent, as the cats are actively feeding after the spawn. Try fishing near submerged logs, undercut banks, and areas with current breaks. A simple Carolina rig with stinkbait or cut bait works wonders. A local tip: many anglers access the Tensas via boat ramps along Highway 135. Be mindful of water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall. The river can get muddy quickly after a heavy rain, so keep an eye on the forecast.
