Louisiana Fisheries Forward has put together a wide variety of resources to help freshwater fishermen understand licensing requirements, harvest regulations, refrigeration technology, and best handling methods to produce a safe, quality  product.  The video at right is a full overview of what is required of a commercial fishermen in the freshwater industry.

We encourage all our fishermen to get involved in the management of our fishery.

Your input is needed for us all to be successful.
