The oil containment continues and our home waters continue to produce bountiful Redfish on the fly. Don't let the Press fool you we can still fish and we are! We have found that the fishing has been staying consistent with fish in the 3 – 7lb range the norm and some fish in the 10+ lb class around. Redfishing in the summer here in Louisiana is a great time of year with plenty of fish and often taking poppers on the surface you will be hard pressed to find a better fishing experience. Currently there are some closure on the westside of the river due to boom barriers and water testing but the east side has been open for quite some time and we believe it will remain that way. The marsh system here in Louisiana is vast and we have plenty of water to fish so come on down and support the local guides we will get you booked up. Give us a call at 504-529-3597

We are excited to announce that most of the east side of the river has been re-opened to fishing. This is an exciting development and a reassurance that the oil is being kept at bay. Our guides are eager to get back over to the east side of the Mississippi and catch those reds that haven't seen any fisherman for awhile. Will continue updates as we get them.
