Get Hooked with Homer Humphreys

Experience world-class fishing with a pro-angler in Webster Parish.

Fine tune your fishing skills with professional fisherman and Minden native Homer Humphreys. Earning his reputation as one of the most renowned and popular competitors in the sport, Humphreys has taken home trophies from tournaments at all levels, and his winnings over the course of his career total nearly a quarter of a million dollars. As a veteran fisherman, he has over thirty-five years of experience in tournament bass fishing and has made his mark as one of the world’s top competitive anglers, placing in two of the big three circuits: Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS) and the Fishing League Worldwide (FLW). 

Humphreys specializes in catching bass, bream, crappie, and catfish, just to name a few. You can enlist him to be your own personal fishing guide with Red River Guide Service, where you’ll “do what it takes together,” as he says, to reel in a catch worth bragging about while making memories to last a lifetime on Lake Bistineau, Caney Lake or Bayou Dorcheat. 

The wonderful thing about fishing on Lake Bistineau is that you can count on a catch almost all year long. Beginning in January and lasting through the spring, summer, and early fall, the dedicated fisherman can draw freshwater catches such as black crappie, largemouth bass, yellow bass, catfish, bluegill, and red-ear sunfish from the lake’s clear waters.

Once a major thoroughfare to Minden and Dixie Inn for paddle boats and steamships traveling from the Red River, Bayou Dorcheat offers scenic fishing, boating and watersports opportunities. Bayou Dorcheat was named by the Native American Caddo Tribe; Dorcheat means “people,” and back when the bayou was a means of food, trade, and transportation, it represented a meeting place, or “where the people go.” The natural history of the Webster region’s waterways is chronicled at Dorcheat Historical Museum, where visitors can learn about the Bayou’s earliest settlers. visitwebster.net
