Fishing near Bossier City, LA

Set on the eastern bank of the Red River in Bossier Parish, Bossier City sits directly across from Shreveport and minutes from one of the country's top bass rivers. A series of five lock-and-dam pools turned the river into 12–13 mile pool-lakes, and the river hosted the Bassmaster Classic in 2009 and 2012. Within a short drive lie Caddo Lake, Lake Bistineau, and Cross Lake.
