Lake Iatt is a 7,100-acre impounded swamp located in Grant Parish, Louisiana, approximately five miles east of Colfax near Pineville. Created in 1956 and expanded in 1966 when the spillway crest was raised, this ancient lake is one of several Red River raft lakes formed centuries ago by a massive log jam on the Red River. The lake features over 60 miles of shoreline when at full pool and is characterized by its extensive cypress and tupelo tree coverage, with approximately 80% of the surface covered in timber. With an average depth of 6 feet and maximum depth of 19 feet, Lake Iatt provides a diverse aquatic environment but presents certain challenges for anglers due to its vegetation-choked waters. Non-motorized boating restrictions have kept fishing pressure relatively light, potentially enhancing the opportunity for trophy catches.
