Can't wait to see how that place has rebounded. Going to get over there at least a couple of weekends prior to the cutoff.

Red River South - Booked with 15 people on waiting list

Any other way to avoid the casinos?

Any other way to avoid the casinos? I used VRBO and found a house 15 minutes from the ramp (Haughton) in a gated community on a golf course. I can tell you that in the past we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Bossier City and they were awesome. I called ahead and told them we had boat and they hooked us up with places to park and charge each night we were there. The rooms are nice and not expensive. We got one of the suites so we had somewhere our traveling group could hang out together each night to watch some football.

The river is nothing like it use to be. I would definitely try to plan a trip to look around at the sandbars that are now formed from the flood. As far as hotels the casinos are probably your best bet.

Back before the flood, the variety and sheer amount of different stuff to fish was awesome. It's very visually stimulating. I have no idea what it looks like now but would imagine some vegetation has come back in some areas. We will find out because we plan to scout at least 2-3 weekends before the cut off.

I think we had 1 major tournament on the river in the past 2 years and the grass just doesn't grow anymore. I personally don't mess with it anymore but I guess for someone out of town it may be cool. Most oxbows are extremely shallow making it a main river fishery now.
