About this water
Lake Bistineau is a large natural lake in northwest Louisiana formed by the Great Raft log jam on the Red River, now offering outstanding largemouth bass and crappie fishing amid beautiful bald cypress forests. The state park fishing pier provides accessible bank fishing for families and anglers without boats. The lake's extensive shallow flats and timber make it ideal for topwater bass fishing in spring and early summer.
