I'm looking to make a trip or 2 up to lake D'Arbonne before the gathering and just a feel for the layout of the lake I would like to make one soon and one closer to the gathering so I can get a since of the cool weather action that we may face in November can anyone give me any advice on a place to stay or fish or places not to stay or not to fish ? I do have a cabin rented for the gathering and it is at the state park. I have not checked there for any openings for my trips as I thought I would check here 1st and see if anyone had any input on this.
