Most oyster beds are leased through the state and controlled by the leasee. But you have access to two oyster beds open for recreational oyster fishing. One of these is located near the Creole Nature Trail in Calcasieu Lake, and the other is in Sabine Lake.

Recreational oystering is limited to two sacks per boat and to gathering by hand. A recreational fishing license is required for persons between the ages of 16 and 59 who are taking oysters.
