Red River Fishing Report Shreveport Louisiana February 2025 - Ideal Conditions for Bass, Catfish, and Crappie
Hey there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana, as of February 12, 2025.
First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect mostly cloudy skies, which is ideal for fishing. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s, making it a comfortable day on the water. Sunrise was at about 7:14 AM, and sunset will be around 5:40 PM, giving you a good window for fishing.
Now, since the Red River is not a tidal river, you don't have to worry about tides affecting your fishing. The water levels are currently stable, with the river stage reading around 17.47 feet, well below the flood stage of 30 feet. This stability is great news for maintaining good fishing conditions.
Fish activity has been decent, especially for bass. Recently, anglers have been catching largemouth bass in the 3-to-8-pound range, along with some channel catfish and crappie. For bass, crankbaits with shad and chartreuse colors, and plastic worms in purple or black, have been working well. These lures tend to perform exceptionally in the Red River's reddish-colored water. If you're targeting catfish and crappie, traditional baits like minnows, jigs, and nightcrawlers are highly effective.
For those looking to try out different techniques, the cooler and cloudy weather makes it a great time to use jerk baits or slower presentations like jigs for crappie and walleye.
When it comes to hot spots, you should definitely check out the river lakes area and the five pools of the Red River, which are rich in bass. The areas around Lock & Dam #5 and the Red River South Marina are also known for good fishing conditions. Public boat launches are available from Vivian to Bossier City, making it easy to access these prime fishing spots.
Before you head out, remember to check the latest water control report, as the water level can change due to releases at the locks. But with the current conditions, it should be a great day for fishing on the Red River in Shreveport.
So grab your gear, pick your favorite lure, and get ready for a promising day on the water. Happy fishing
