Largemouth bass fishing in the Jena, Louisiana area is centered around the numerous rivers, creeks, and small lakes that dot the landscape. The Little River and its associated oxbow lakes are prime locations. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as bass move shallow to spawn, but the fall can be equally productive as they fatten up for winter. Look for submerged timber, lily pads, and creek channels. A local tip: The water in this region can be heavily stained, so use lures with plenty of vibration or bright colors. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and dark-colored soft plastics work well. Be aware of water levels, as heavy rains can quickly change conditions. The bass here tend to be aggressive, providing exciting topwater action in the early morning and late evening.
