About Tensas River
Tensas River cuts through Louisiana, United States and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Tensas River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Blue catfish
Target areas with current breaks and structure, like submerged timber or ledges, as blue catfish often ambush prey in these locations. Use a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish, as blue catfish are likely to be nearby.
- For Flathead catfish
Fish near structure like submerged logs, rock piles, and deep holes, especially during low light conditions, as flatheads are ambush predators.
- For Bluegill
Fish near structure like docks, weeds, or submerged trees where bluegill seek cover and food.
