Fishing near Alexandria, LA

Sitting at the crossroads of Central Louisiana in Rapides Parish, Alexandria opens onto the Red River, a Bassmaster top-100 bass destination that hosted the 2009 and 2012 Bassmaster Classics. Lock and Dam No. 2 sits just below the city, dividing the river into fish-rich pools, and a ring of forest lakes and reservoirs—Kincaid, Cotile, and Indian Creek—lies within roughly 50 miles.
