Need some help on pool 3 around the Colfax area, will be fishing a tourney there early May and have never been on the Red River.

I have fished there onece when I was younger with my dad. Although I am not extremely familiar with the area it's a great place to fish up there. I would suggest looking for Nantachie buyou up there, find out where it, and the red river meet and try going up the buyou if the water is too high and muddy.There has been some monsters caught out of nantachie, especially when they are draining it. I'm sure that the water is extremely higher than normal up there so I'm not really sure what to tell you about the fishing except to find Oxbows and probably go as far back as possible. Down here in our pool, which is the Alexandria area, it is a little more difficult to fish. Try fishing stump feilds up in the shallow areas that may have a ledge or drop off near by. Deep water access plays a big role up there in that area, just look back at Ike last year who almost won the classic in shreveport. Well I hope the information I have given you is somewhat helpful, I know it wasn't much. Good Luck on your tournament.
