Striped Bass
While not as widely known, Columbia, Louisiana provides a unique opportunity to target striped bass in the Ouachita River. These hard-fighting fish are stocked in the river, offering anglers a chance to catch a trophy. The best time to target striped bass is in the late fall and winter (November-February) when the water cools down and they become more active. They often congregate near the dams and bridges along the river. Large swimbaits, crankbaits, and live shad are all effective baits. Try fishing near the Columbia Lock and Dam for increased chances. Remember, striped bass fishing can be challenging, but the reward is well worth the effort. Be sure to check the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries regulations for specific rules regarding striped bass, including size and creel limits. Also, be aware of strong currents in the river and exercise caution when navigating.
