If you're heading to Forest Hill, Louisiana, for largemouth bass, you're in for a treat. This area boasts a network of smaller rivers, creeks, and oxbow lakes connected to the larger Red River basin, creating ideal habitat. Spring and fall are prime times, with bass actively feeding in the shallows during the spawn and pre-winter feeding frenzies. Focus on areas with submerged timber and vegetation, as these provide excellent cover. A local tip: many of the smaller waterways are best accessed by kayak or canoe, allowing you to reach secluded spots where the bigger bass are less pressured. The bass in this region tend to be thick-bodied and aggressive, often hitting topwater lures with explosive force early and late in the day. Be sure to check water levels before heading out, as heavy rains can impact accessibility and fishing conditions.
