• Where to Fish on Palmetto Creek Structure Number 10 La

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include blackbanded darter, bluegill, greater jumprock and brown bullhead. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. Take this water a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 79°F in July and bottom out at 44°F in January. It fishes twelve months of the year. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Lake Lorraine, 1.5 miles out. Confirm before you fish this water.
