Bayou Plaquemine is a freshwater stream located in Louisiana, offering anglers excellent opportunities to target a variety of fish species. This waterway flows through Iberville Parish and provides a diverse aquatic environment with natural levee deposits of stiff clays, silt, and silty sands, complemented by downed timber and organic accumulations. Historically, the bayou experienced water quality issues, being listed on DEQ's impaired waterways in 2008 due to dissolved oxygen deficiency. However, conditions have since improved, with the bayou supporting primary and secondary contact recreation as well as fish and wildlife propagation according to recent water quality reports. The Mark A. Tony Gulotta Bayou Plaquemine Waterfront Park provides a central access point for anglers to enjoy this productive fishery.
