Fish Coulee sits in St. Martin Parish and is classified as a lake, which is why I would spend more time casting than relocating. I would pick one familiar-looking area near the launch as the first section to learn, because a first trip should give you a useful clue rather than a tour of every corner.
Fish Coulee Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Published physical measurements are limited for Fish Coulee, so on a first visit I would avoid building the day around an estimate, and that is a reason to use what I can see instead of guessing at a measurement. I would rely on learning the shoreline for yourself, and I would plan modestly until the size of the water is clear.
Fishing This Water
A reliable fish list tied specifically to Fish Coulee is difficult to verify, so on the first visit I would avoid copying a species list from a nearby lake, and that gives me a reason to wait for actual catches before specializing the tackle. I would start with one versatile setup carrying a small soft plastic and a live-bait option, because the goal is to find out what responds before narrowing the tackle any further.
A Practical Fish Coulee Game Plan
On Fish Coulee, I would begin around one straightforward section of bank and keep the first plan simple; I would spend more time fishing a promising area than driving around looking for a perfect one.
