Atchafalaya Basin Contour maps

March 03, 2016 at 6:25am

Does anyone know where I can get a contour/topo map for all areas of the Basin? I just started fishing the area and I am having very little success. I am from Central Louisiana and know Saline/Larto like the back of my hand and can usually go just about anytime and catch fish...the basin...nope. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Note: I've been launching at Benoit....

I don't know of any good maps that show the water bottom contour of that area I would suggest using a good depth finder an take a day an just cruse around checking out the lay of the land, If an when the water gets down low like 3 feet at butte larose that would be the best time to go take a ride an check out some areas you learn a lot when the water is low

Eh. I can't find anything.
There was a place on the I-10 service road in Metairie that sold maps and those coastal maps had depths. Don't think they there anymore. Electronics have taken over and it's not always for the betterment of our wants and needs.

This is probably the closest thing to bathymetry in the basin that you will find.

http://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/Missions/Engineering/GeospatialSection/ARHB_2006/ARHB_2006_PDF.aspx

Or, you can go to the DNR Atchafalaya Basin site and learn to use the interactive map there. It allows you to fill the basin with water at different levels and gives a perspective of what floods as the water rises.

http://sonris-www.dnr.state.la.us/Basin/bsindex.html

DNR used to have an interactive map that had lidar images of the elevation of the land in the Basin and a tool that showed where the water would be at different elevations. It was called NRIAS. I don't see it anymore on the website.

Not trying to jack this thread, but you said you know Saline real well. I'm going there tomorrow. Could you point me in the right direction to pick up a few crappie?

Thanks.

Sorry about the late response kmat. Depends where you launch. The best place Imo..is Larto Lake. There are alot of brush piles out in the middle of the lake. If you go in Saline Lake..fish the the ledges coming off of flats..that's where I catch the most slabs. Of course...I have a lot of brush, lay downs, ect...marked on my gps.

Access to these routes are not easy to find online, glad I ended up here. I bet changes are inevitable since this was still 2016.

Atchafalaya River, distributary of the Red and Mississippi rivers in Louisiana, U.S. It branches southwest from the Red River near a point in east-central Louisiana where the Old River (about 7 miles [11 km] long) links the Red River with the Mississippi.
