Merryville, Louisiana, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities, particularly in the Sabine River and its associated backwaters and oxbow lakes. What makes this area special is the abundance of flooded timber and vegetation, providing ideal habitat for bass to ambush prey. Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish, as they move into shallower waters to spawn or feed before winter. Local anglers often have success using Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits around the submerged structure. A practical tip is to focus on areas where the Sabine River flows into or out of the backwater lakes, as these areas tend to concentrate baitfish and, subsequently, bass. Be aware of the potential for fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rains, which can impact fishing conditions. Public boat ramps are available along the Sabine River, but some areas may require a shallow-draft boat or kayak to access effectively. The bass here are known for their aggressive strikes, making for an exciting fishing experience.
