What you need to know about fishing Old River (CA)

Old River is located outside Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is a very undeveloped area of the state. This river is heavily affected by the rising and falling water levels from the Mississippi River, often causing it to flood. Bass and crappie fishing are the two most popular fish to target. Fishing the backwaters allows anglers to target fish around flooded cyprus trees. Finding the deeper water can be the key to success, this is commonly found on the outside bend of the river channel.
