Ordered by drive time: Spreafico Lake after 1.4 miles to the south-east, Vermillion River after 1.5 miles, Lake Martin after 16 miles to the east and Catahoula Coulee after 19 miles. On Vermillion River the outside of each bend cuts deepest and holds the fish. These fish through every month. Shade on the bank is worth planning round. Flat, standing water makes up the choice. Read the weed line before anything else. The nearest of them, Spreafico Lake, covers about 5 acres. Spreafico Lake has a mapped boat ramp, which makes it the practical choice for a boat.
