Nantachie Lake is a lake in Louisiana, near Grant County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Anglers looking at Grant Parish will find Nantachie Lake, a lake, so on an opening trip I would keep the first plan small and easy to judge, so on an opening trip I would fish one reachable area before widening the search. I would give one nearby section of bank a fair chance before making a bigger move, because it gives the first plan a fair chance before you change directions.
In terms of scale, Nantachie Lake is described by about 1,580 surface acres and 35,500 acre-feet of storage, or roughly 11.6 billion gallons, so the safer move is to treat the first outing as a chance to learn the water's scale. Those figures help with how much shoreline I should build into the day, but that is enough information to size up the trip without overthinking it.
The fish community recorded at Nantachie Lake includes Alligator Gar, Black Crappie, Blue Catfish, Bluegill, Bowfin, Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Freshwater Drum, Gizzard Shad, Largemouth Bass, Longnose Gar, and Redear Sunfish, plus 4 additional recorded species, so I would pick one of those targets before deciding what else to carry, so on the first visit I would wait for actual catches before specializing the tackle. On Nantachie Lake, for bass, a spinnerbait or squarebill can search for active fish, while a Texas-rigged worm or jig gives you a slower option, which makes it useful to keep the next decision simple.
If I were seeing Nantachie Lake for the first time, I would work one straightforward part of the water with only a few dependable baits; if a bait begins producing, I would stay with it long enough to understand what is different about that spot.
