Louisiana’s Department of Wild Life and Fisheries (LDWF) Get Out and Fish Program announced that Spring Catfish Stockings will take place throughout the state, including Houma’s Get Out and Fish ponds at the Bayou Country Sports Park. Stocking will take place locally on Thursday, May 4.
The program provides easy and affordable access to quality fishing at locations around the state, including Houma’s Bayou Country Sports Park located at 4374 LA-311. The park has a large pond, a smaller pond, and four docks to fish from. LDWF fishing regulations apply. There are no fees to fish in the park and they do warn to be on the lookout for wildlife while in the area.
LDWF encourages anglers to check in online to help with stocking efforts. The short form simply asks which pond you visited, the date, how many people were fishing in your party, and the species that were caught. The check-in can be completed here.
Anglers 18 and older must possess a Louisiana fishing license when fishing in any Louisiana public waters. Licenses are available for purchase online at https://louisianaoutdoors.com/licenses-and-permits. By purchasing a fishing license, Louisiana receives matching funds from the Sport Fish Restoration Program for public fishing and boating access, fishing programs, education, and fisheries management.
