We have quite a few places you can fish in the Lake Charles area. Please make sure you have the proper licenses. In this area of Lousiana, anything north of the Intracoastal Canal requires only a freshwater Louisiana license, while anything south of the Intracoastal Canal will require a freshwater and a saltwater license. Both excellent freshwater and saltwater fishing are available. The closest fishing to the GCC Expo 2008 is of course the seawall and boardwalk right by the Lake Charles Civic Center itself. Usually species such as redfish, speckled trout, sand trout, etc. are caught here, but if the salinity is low enough due to rain, catching a bass or two here is not unheard of. If you are bringing a boat, boat ramps abound, and you'll probably find a launch near where you wish to fish. The nearest boat ramp to the Lake Charles Civic Center can be accessed by proceeding north on Lakeshore Drive which will turn westward and parallel I-10 on the northside of the freeway. Do not enter onto I-10, but stay to the right. A Calcasieu parish boat launch is located right under the I-10 bridge approach on the east side of the Calcasieu River. If you are going to bank fish, there are still quite a few places available.
