Bogue Chitto State Park Being Stocked With Channel Catfish

Bogue Chitto State Park near Franklinton is one of seventeen community fishing sites to be stocked with adult sized channel catfish for the Halloween weekend. It's all part of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries  Get Out and Fish! community fishing program.

So grab your fishing gear and bring your friends and family to the Bogue Chitto State Park or any of the GOF! locations for some frightfully good fishing!

Please remember, all anglers 16 and older must possess a Louisiana fishing license when fishing in any Louisiana public waters. Licenses are available for purchase online at https://louisianaoutdoors.com/licenses-and-permits. By purchasing a fishing license, Louisiana receives matching funds from the Sport Fish Restoration Program for public fishing and boating access, fishing programs and education and fisheries management.

The Get Out and Fish! Program seeks to increase the number of people with access to quality fishing. The program intends to recruit new anglers to the sport of fishing and promote outdoor activities for future generations. For more information visit www.wlf.la.gov/gof or email us at GOF@wlf.la.gov.

The LDWF Get Out & Fish is hosted in conjunction with the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation (LAWFF). The Foundation was formed to help expand and support LDWF education and research programs with additional resources developed through its own facilities. Encouraging support for LDWF programs is the major focus of the Foundation, accomplished by connecting people and businesses with Louisiana’s natural resources.
