Fishing at Kellers Lake, Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana

• Overview

  You will find Kellers Lake in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. Around the bank it is open plain. It measures about 90 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The full circuit measures close to 1.8 miles on foot. Simmesport sits 6.5 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Batchelor follows at 12 miles, then Mansura at 21 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Kellers Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include gizzard shad, redear sunfish, threadfin shad, bluegill and freshwater drum. Records come from public data, not from a stocking programme. At Kellers Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 82°F and January near 48°F. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. That shapes the year on Kellers Lake. Weed growth peaks in late summer and changes where you can fish.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Timber Lake sits 1.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Kellers Lake before loading the car.
