I caught limits on two days last week fishing minnows around stumps and trees in 8-12 feet of water in the Nemo area. The bite was very light, and I usually only caught one or two around a stump or tree, them move on the the next one.

Now that's a good week! The wife and I fished Pomme last Tuesday. 25 crappie in four hours; all 12+ inches in 4 FOW on minnows. It was a good day.

I grew up near Lake D'Arbonne and fished it a lot. It is near Farmerville. There are a few options for hotel and restaurants, but not many. Ruston is about 20 miles away, and there are lots of options there. They draw down the lake every few years to control vegetation and give people a chance to work on their docks. When they do that, it can shut down the fishing. So be sure to check on that before making the trip.
